It's A Beautiful Day
along with Santana are considered to be "2nd wave" bands that emerged from
the San Francisco bay area in the late sixties. Moreover, like Santana,
IABD headlined at the Fillmore West prior to recording an album. Their
debut 1968 LP the self titled "It's A Beautiful Day" was laced with
classic cuts such as "White Bird", "Bombay Calling", "Wasted Union
Blues" and "Time Is" The single off the LP..."White Bird" quickly became
part of the FM play lists and is considered a classic of rock music.
Superior Olive
featuring nationally acclaimed New Artist of the Year 2008 Tom Savell
once again plays the Annual Decemberchild Benefit Concert. This
award winning group of international touring musicians and recording
artists has been wowing audiences throughout the West Coast. With 3
previously released CDs combining danceable pop rock with progressive
influences, Superior Olive plays a spectrum of music influenced by Pink
Floyd, Genesis, and Frank Zappa. An accomplished violinist as well,
Tom Savell is set to perform electrifying dual violin solos along with
It’s A Beautiful Day front man David LaFlamme at the show.
Also, the band Sweet Jam showcases an acoustic blend of soft
rock, jazz, and Celtic-styled original music on their 2009 debut CD “We
Are One”. The group builds on an acoustic guitar / electric bass
foundation, adds the soft flowing vocals and earthy flute / recorder
sounds of Catherine Lewis, and features renowned
multi-instrumentalist Keith Graves (Quicksilver Messenger
Service, Jerry Miller, Jefferson Starship) on drums and percussion.
The inspiration for the Decemberchild celebration began with Tom
Savell’s own experience as a child. His birthday within a week of
Christmas, Tom recalls, "I remember one year getting no birthday
party/cake, and "combination" Christmas/birthday gifts. I wanted my
birthday to be as far away from Christmas as possible." After
discovering how many others share his experience, Tom and his brothers
created Decemberchild as a birthday party for all whose special days are
overshadowed by the holidays. But for Tom, the true reward is giving to
others even less fortunate. “I want to do something for kids that don’t
get anything for Christmas or birthday.”
The Valley Churches United Missions is not a church, nor is it
affiliated with any single church. It is a coalition of community and
church volunteers coming together to perform humanitarian acts by
providing direct aid assistance in the form of food and shelter to San
Lorenzo Valley and Scotts Valley residents in their time of crisis.
Last year’s Valley Christmas Project reached out to 5,210 people
countywide, providing the spirit of Christmas through this "Mission of
Love" in the form of Christmas presents and healthy meals to those in
need.
