Our final show of 2021 was in the newly renovated Bandshell in Golden Gate Park. December 18 was the final full moon of 2021, as well as one of the shortest and coldest days of the year. Our host, Illuminate, created the show as a tribute to Howl, the Beat poem by Allen Ginsberg, streaming the full text on the outside walls of the DeYoung Museum, adjacent to the stage. Despite the cold, it was a fantastic evening. We debuted six or seven new songs/arrangements (depending on whether you count the Love Medley as one or two).
