Magnolia Pub and Brewery
10th Anniversary Celebration!
featuring
The Everyone Orchestra
with special guest
Melvin Seals

Magnolia Pub & Brewery celebrates its first decade of artisan brewing, sustainable cuisine, and music-inspired community-building with the help of the Everyone Orchestra. Everyone Orchestra is converging for this special event with an exciting edition assembled from a rotating cast of all-star musicians, including EO founder/conductor Matt Butler, organist Melvin Seals, ALO guitarist Dan Lebowitz, multi-instrumentalist Joe Craven, Tea Leaf Green guitarist/vocalist Josh Clark, vocalist Audio Angel, electronica dulcimer wizard Jamie Janover (Zilla), plus The Jambay Trio and more.

What makes Everyone Orchestra performances stand out from other jam band collaborations is the conducting and audience participation. Butler facilitates the jams using a dry erase board and cue cards, hand signals and more which direct the musicians and audience alike in flowing, playful and incredibly dynamic co-creations.

The list of Everyone Orchestra alumni reads like a musical who's who including members of the Grateful Dead, Phish, moe., String Cheese Incident, Derek Trucks Band, Railroad Earth, Hot Buttered Rum, Tea Leaf Green and Taj Mahal and many more among a growing legion of other performers - over 200 in
2006 alone. Butler's version of breaking down the barriers between musician and audience derives in part from Burning Man's 'no spectators, only participants' ethic and is undoubtedly influenced by his old friend and mentor Ken Kesey, the king of the Merry Pranksters.

This special evening is an opportunity for the Magnolia community, new and old, to come together in a festive celebration of the Haight-Ashbury's neighborhood brewpub. It's a fitting tribute to an institution inspired and informed by the Grateful Dead's legacy of musical expression through creative imporvisation and exploration. Music in its many forms has always been an undercurrent of life at Magnolia and this event is the capper on ten years of good times as well as the kickoff for the next ten.
