This Santa Cruz-based band brings a fun, loose style and a tight sound. Fresh takes on classic covers and diverse song selections will help you get your groove on!
Camellia Boutros is a Lebanese Palestinian multi-instrumentalist, composer, and cultural worker based in San Francisco. Established in the Bay Area music scene as a performer and improviser on trumpet, oud, and electric bass, she developed a fretless 12-string electric guitar as a vehicle for sonic exploration of her own brand of Arab experimentalism. Naming her instrument the “electric oud-guitar,” Camellia writes music rooted in both Arabic Maqam and the Bay Area sound, which reflects her own experience growing up between California and the Levant. An enthralling blend of rock, folk, jazz, hip-hop, and psychedelia, her music defies genre definition.
Camellia has performed at many of the Bay Area’s most beloved venues, such as Stern Grove, Yerba Buena Gardens, SF Jazz, The Independent, Yerba Buena Gardens, Rickshaw Stop, The New Parish, The Regency Ballroom, The Ivy Room, Brick and Mortar, The Chapel, Neck of the Woods, The Lab, Boom Boom Room, and Brava Theater.
Flat Sun Society finds a new niche of psychedelic rock that integrates polyrhythms, ethereal vocals and guitar improvisation. The band is composed of six friends from Big Sur and Santa Cruz, California who share a love for creating an immersive experience of sound. Their songs can become a journey full of momentous energy and fantastical moments. Their audience dances fluidly and ecstatically, mirroring their music. flatsun.net @flatsunsocietyband

1970’s Jazz-Rock Revue
If you wish the era of 1970’s jazz-rock and progressive rock never ended, then this is the band for you! Joshua Cedar (guitar) transcribed and charted some of the most amazing (not to mention insanely difficult) music of this incredible era and — perhaps even more amazing — found musicians who can play it! Joshua assembled local touring and studio musicians to perform original instrumental arrangements of some of the greatest 1970’s era jazz-rock and prog rock. So, join us in the celebration of the music of Rush, Genesis, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Dregs, Jeff Beck, Jean-Luc Ponty, Bruford, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, and even a medley of some of the more progressive Led Zeppelin tunes.
There are bands you listen to, and then there are bands you experience.
Horse Feathers has spent nearly two decades crafting songs that are intimate, cinematic, and quietly unforgettable. Rooted in the Pacific Northwest, their sound weaves together folk, chamber music, and haunting harmonies into something that feels both timeless and deeply human.
If you love the kind of music that makes a room go still before the applause, this is a night you won't want to miss.
Join us as we welcome Horse Feathers to Woodhouse for an evening of beautiful songwriting, rich instrumentation, and the kind of performance that stays with you long after the last note.

For Instagram, I’d make it feel more like Woodhouse is getting taken over by this giant roaming comedy festival rather than just repeating the flyer:
75 comics. 6 nights. 10 venues. And one very loud Saturday night at Woodhouse.
The 13th Annual Santa Cruz Comedy Festival rolls into Woodhouse on Saturday, October 17th, bringing 21 comics, 3 headliners, and 6 vendors under one roof.
A whole lot of funny people. A whole lot of beer. And probably at least a few jokes that should never leave the building.
Come early, grab a pint, find your spot and settle in. The show kicks off at 6:30pm.
