About Me


The TrueWind Music concert series began at the Espresso Garden & Cafe in San Jose, California, hosted by Bev Barnett & Greg Newlon. We wanted to present some of our favorite local and touring artists at the area's premier listening room, the Espresso Garden & Cafe. The cafe closed in early April 2006, so in addition to creating and performing our own music, we have shifted our energies to presenting house concerts.

The series is eclectic - We kicked off our House Concert series in the spring of 2006, going from a five peice jazz combo to the western-flavored folk of Ronny Cox in a week's time. Something for everyone!
We present music we love about once a month during the Winter, Spring and Fall. We have a core group of music fans that come to every concert, knowing that whoever we book, it will be great. We take that vote of confidence very seriously and choose performers very carefully.

Complete information about the series, who's playing, who's played in the past and how to approach us about booking, is available at www.TrueWindMusic.com . Please do not send us a MySpace message about booking.
