CANCELLED: Original Famous Twang Sundays: Live Country Music | Potrero Hill

Sunday, October 25th ​​Original Famous Twang Sundays welcomes ​​Ruben Diaz, Lost Dog Street Band to Thee Parkside. Ruben Diaz is a self taught Multi-Instrumentalist Songwriter. Residing in Oakland, CA. Also performing in such groups as San Francisco’s Havarti & Thee Landlords. ​​Ruben’s style spans most things from discordant effigies to romantic reflection, embracing the raw possibility of the ever adapting Folk tradition alive in America and the World.

​​Lost Dog Street Band was created in the winter of 2010 after a long and bitterly cold trek on foot to Tennessee. Splitting paths from their former project Barefoot Surrender, Benjamin Tod and Ashley Mae set out to craft their own original music as a duet. Drawing on inspiration of hard times on the road, personal tragedy, the power of love (and of course their dog) Benjamin continued on with a long legacy of songwriting that cuts to the quick. Knitting together musical influences from traditional country, old time, and blues Ashley Mae and Benjamin began to refine what is their original take on American storytelling songs. Today, Benjamin and Ashley have made a home in the country side of Tennessee, working the land and carrying on their lives as full-time musicians. As they tour regularly, perhaps you will see them roaming across the country in their van with their dog Copper.
