Lafayette Songstress Harmonizes With Van

No, NOT Van Morrison. Listen to these songs on a YouTube gone bacterial by a former Acalanes Don who sounds crystal clear even as she's apparently piloting a VeeDub full of musicians. Stay with the song through the first kazoo solo, please.

This from Lafayette City Manager Steven Falk, a music lover and fan of all things Lafayette, who caught the buzz in the music world about a local gal with a stellar set of pipes.

Acalanes High graduate Nicki Bluhm and her Acalanes High guitar player childhood friend Deren Ney made, while driving in a van, a great video cover of the Hall & Oates classic “I Can’t Go For That.” One Patch commenter said Nicki and the bearded guys sound better than Hall & Oates.

It went viral, attracting more than a million views. And so Nicki and her band are heading out on tour and – in respect for their Lafayette roots – asked the promoter (Greg Perloff/Another Planet Entertainment) to book them for an evening at Town Hall Theatre in Lafayette.

Nicki and the Gramblers will be here on June 10. Come on out and see a small-town gal with a big time voice.

How about you research the current ADA guidelines regarding surface materials for play areas?Read More Walnut Creek is simply acting to be in compliance. Not sure where you get the idea that wood chips are "much more dangerous". A reasonable overview of the current regulations can be found here: http://risk.utah.gov/newsletter/documents/playground_surfacing.pdf If you disagree with the regulations, please contact your representatives.
