*Every Third Thursday
Kelsey Ellison, known by her stage name Blue Mug, is a singer-songwriter from Bishop, California, currently living in Sonoma County. She began her career in the Chicago DIY music scene in the early 2010s and has since released two full-length albums independently. Her songwriting is deeply rooted in folk and Americana music, and her lyrics have been described as painterly reflections of her life experiences. She has performed at venues around the Bay Area and continues to write and perform her original music.
Ricardo Zegri is a writer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist that has been working as a musician in the Bay Area for almost 30 years, founding several underground bands in the late 90s and early 2000s including: Satyrica, American Bindi, Plasterkatz and Crumpled Napkin. He currently plays in two established Bay Area groups: 5 Cent Coffee (Neo-skiffle Junkyard Blues) and High Card Drifters (Gomer-punk). During the global shutdown he produced a solo project called Modus Opera & Eye (Agnostic Gospel), and has put out three concept EPs since the fall of 2020.
Ricardo wrote his first song when he was 11 years old and has compulsively written music ever since. Whether inspired by the lost San Francisco of his youth, true love (and the opposite), or classic literature (with and without pulp); he sets traps for the muse wherever he can find a pen and a musical instrument.
Jesse is a singer-songwriter, also known as LIPLEE. At a young age, she discovered her own acoustic style as a jack of all trades; playing instruments, singing in church choir and rocking out to Paramore, Echosmith and the Civil Wars. Born and raised in the Philippines, later moved to Santa Rosa in 2018, where she found an open mic night downtown and has since continued to share her original music with the community.
