The Third Monday of each month brings Opera Supper.

A true virtuoso, violinist Jonathan Schriock is a diamond in the rough, his quick thinking and playing allow him improvise very effectively, to our delight!

Aaron Barksdale-Burns is a Westport native, tenor and language buff, web-designer for Californos and sales person, too - hey, that’s me, really! Nice to meet you!

I’ve been a big fan of open mic night since day one!

Though Marilyn Wood has no problem guiding us through an intensely pleasurable evening together each week, she can’t do it alone!

Molly Hammer, having recently appeared at the Quality Hill Playhouse, dropped in recently and layed down this tune on us!

Bring your friends in to Californos for open mic night and hear some of the very best in local music - what a way to avoid the Monday Blahs! 7-10 pm.

Come be part of a very special event each Monday with us - Terry Burns, founder of Californos may even appear- mostly to watch, but also to entreat us to some old greats - like the Whiffenpoof and other traditional favorites!

afloat!
