“It’s Good Time Music” – “Bluegrass has that summertime feel to it” – “It lifts the spirit” – “If it’s bluegrass, you can feel it” – “Bluegrass is foot tapping music, the audience can’t seem to sit still”
Just a few quotes from listeners over the years, but for us that play bluegrass, this holds true and much more. There is nothing quite like playing bluegrass with a bunch of your long time friends to set your mood straight and realize you are doing what you are meant to do....

Wonderful place to have a glass of wine and listen to music. So glad live music has this venue!

This is not a coffee shop. This is the epicenter of what happens in Los Gatos and Silicon Valley. I don't drink coffee but I suspect it's the same quality as everything else they sell: excellent! Great place to relax, work, go on a date, or people watch. The staff is so friendly and dedicated. I like other shops too, but I always make it a point to get my LGCRC fix a few times each month.

Highly recommend the apricot scone!

Great choice Enjoy!
