Lar- ry Yes, Nate Lumbard, and Ivy and Joel Ricci — plus special guests — will perform at 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 2. Ivy and Joel Ricci are a dynamic genre-nomadic duo traveling easily between ter- ritories of folk, country, soul, rock and more. The Riccis are multi-instrumentalists who marry brass, strings and vocal harmonies with a rev- erence for simplicity and chance. They bring with them musical nuances of the South- west, Northwest, East Coast and most recently the culture of songwriting and listening unique to San Marcos, Texas. Lumbard, like all bards, is in search of meaning. Along the way, he seeks self control, questions the existence of God, and examines the fundamental nature of breakfast. He also plays music for his friends. The Sou’Wester is located at 3728 J Place. For more in- formation, call 360-642-2542.
