Hi and Welcome to J Lee Arts and Music, Dateline 5/11/26 FYI I am  angling off Youtube and am sending all our content over to either Subamerica or the Internet Archive. Big tech is bad for you and is ruled by a bunch of bros with way too much power and fascist inclinations so the less time you waste there and actually find alternatives and make shit not about computing the better for your well being and happiness. Below is a Starry Skemes Subamerica playlist with live vid of brand new song Drips & Drabs, band praxis vid of another new one, None the Wiser and a track from our latest batch of recordings, Rainy Sunday. Skemes played a fun show up in North Beach on the sidewalk of Grant and Green St. We are the modern incarnation of Willie and the Poor Boys (Bring a nickel/Can’t be beat). If only John Fogerty stopped by he would have got it. Thanks to poet and impresario Jessica Loos for the gig and activism with NB 1st Fridays. OK, what else? Warm Spell played a very fun show with like minded friends and musicians Flatways and Agnes Martian. I was blown away by these two bands who take music to new and exciting places. Been doing some plein aire painting, one of Devils’ Slide the other at Wildcat Creek, Berkeley. See below or click here to view. Special thanks to our Archivist Tom Scharff for recording our shows, some light stagehand work and especially the friendship, positivity and encouragement. See below for several of his recordings. Thanks for checking out the site!
