Twilight Service is taking that golden hour and putting it to words and music. It’s an attempt at capturing a vibe that is local to performers Mighty Mike McGee, Ben Henderson and Derrick Sanderlin. West Coast poetics and music come together for a night of mirth as an ode to the Beloved City Under the Bay. One part artistic push, one part pulling it all in, this is a gift of presence to a community that deserves so much more. The evening will be filled with the best of what Mike, Ben and Derrick do, along with a few friends stopping by.

We implore you to bring yourself.
