Season 3 Finale Celebration & Jam Session

After winning the Donovan’s Garage audience poll as the favorite session of the season, the Afro-Latino Quintet returns for one more explosive evening at the Akar Auditorium.

Members of the quintet are:

Donovan Mixon - guitar

Joshua Ramos - bass

Rocky Yera - tenor sax

Darwin Noguerra - piano

Juan Pastor - drums and percussion.

The Afro-Latino Quintet will perform a set celebrating the spirit of collaboration, spontaneity and intercultural exchange that has become the hallmark of Donovan’s Garage.

Then, for the first time in DG history, the evening opens up into a full alumni jam session featuring past Donovan’s Garage performers from across the first three seasons. Expect surprise combinations, unexpected musical conversations and the joyful unpredictability that defines the Garage experience.

There will be balloons, celebration vibes and tasty bites prepared by local chef [NAME].

Bring your friends, family and fellow music lovers. All are welcome.
