Happy May Day, Cinco de Mayo, and Memorial Day. As usual, Farley’s will be open Memorial Day (Monday, May 31) from 8AM-10PM. As we move into May and the weather warms (before the Summer fog rolls in), don’t forget to cool off with iced-drinks.

"Growden’s Music is a calliope of tangos, marches, pedal steel blues, and eloquent acoustic ballads. In his hands, parade scores unravel to become inebriated waltzes. Ballads are stretched thin and poked with forks. Melodies dance like wicked children..." --John Paczkowski - S.F. Bay Guardian
"Composer Mark Growden has seen the yodeling, cookie-tin-banging, accordion-playing future of musical performance, and it is good." - Heather Wisner --S.F. Weekly
