Laurie Lewis is Back in Bayside! EarlyBird Discount Ends April 5

Laurie Lewis is bringing Brandon Godman & Hasee Ciaccio, members of the Laurie Lewis & the Right Hands band, with her to Bayside to present songs from her recent album, "O California!" Godman and Ciaccio are both featured in "O California!" With a large, enthusiastic following, Laurie and her band have been performing to sold out concerts in Humboldt for years. The EarlyBird discount for concert seats ends April 5. Go to www.baysidecorners.org/tickets now to save your seats. See the attached poster for concert details and to invite friends to join you.

Just released last month, O California! is a collection of songs that explore our places in the natural world and in each other’s hearts. The recording process was a truly collaborative and joyful experience between Laurie Lewis and her bandmates Brandon Godman, George Guthrie and Hasee Ciaccio. The album features five new originals from Laurie, five traditional songs (some with new lyrics), and the beautiful “Sweet South Anna River” from the pen of Laurie’s mentor and friend Alice Gerrard.

See you Sunday April 19 in Bayside at the Grange!

VISION & MISSION

Bayside Corners was incorporated as a 501(c )3 nonprofit organization in 2007 with a community-strengthening mission for the Jacoby Creek Valley, Bayside, and surrounding communities. Residents value Bayside’s historic character and natural beauty. The formation of Bayside Corners was the start of “placemaking” efforts to repair and upgrade the rundown historic buildings and beautify the surrounding property at the center of Bayside’s historic district. Through grassroots organizing, community education, potluck picnics, storytelling series, music events, and serving as the fiscal agent for community improvement projects, we aim to reduce social isolation by organizing neighbor-helping-neighbor activities and strengthen a sense of community identity, pride, and belonging.

The first several years were focused on Bayside Grange repairs and improvements. In 2014, our all-volunteer organization accepted the ownership and responsibility for the Temperance Hall, next to the Grange and at the center of Bayside’s historic district. We serve organizations throughout Humboldt seeking an affordable facility for their services and events. While reviving the Temperance Hall as a useful asset is an ambitious project requiring significant fundraising, this placemaking project has become a catalyst for increasing community belonging and pride.
