Formed in 1993 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the band originally featured Garrett Dutton, aka G. Love, as the lead vocalist and guitarist, Jeffrey Clemens on drums, and Jim Prescott on bass. The trio quickly gained attention for their laid-back, groovy style and G. Love's unique vocal delivery, blending rap-like spoken word with bluesy singing. Their debut self-titled album, G. Love & Special Sauce , was released in 1994 on Epic Records and included the hit single "Cold Beverage," which became popular on alternative radio stations and MTV, solidifying their presence in the music scene.

Love & Special Sauce has released numerous albums, including Coast to Coast Motel (1995), Yeah, It's That Easy (1997), The Electric Mile (2001) and the GRAMMY nominated The Juice (2020). Their sound evolved to include more soul, R&B, and rock influences, though they retained their laid-back vibe and clever lyrical play. Their 2014 album Sugar saw a reunion of the original lineup after several years, and they continued to tour and produce music with a loyal fan base. Known for their energetic live performances, G. Love & Special Sauce has played at festivals like Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza. Garrett Dutton also frequently collaborates with other artists, including Jack Johnson, with whom he shares a similar vibe, and has released solo projects that dive deeper into his blues influences.

Join us for a special event with Alka Joshi, author of Six Days in Bombay . This event is free, but we appreciate your RSVP below so we can plan for your attendance. ABOUT THE BOOK In her first standalone novel since her breakout New York Times bestselling debut novel, The Henna Artist, Alka Joshi returns with SIX DAYS IN BOMBAY (MIRA; April 15, 2025), a sweeping story of identity and self-discovery inspired by the iconic Indian painter, Amrita Sher-Gil, known as the “Frida Kahlo of India.” Set in 1937, the novel follows Sona, a young Anglo-Indian nurse, as she travels from Bombay to Istanbul, Prague, Florence, Paris, and London to uncover the mystery behind a famous painter’s death. Sona, born to an Indian mother and abandoned by her British father, is a nurse in Bombay who struggles with her dual identity. When Mira Novak, a famous half-Indian painter, arrives at the hospital after a miscarriage, Sona becomes captivated by her stories of worldly adventure and reckless love. Over the course of a week, the women develop a special bond and when Mira dies under mysterious circumstances, Sona immediately falls under suspicion. The key to proving Sona’s innocence may lie in a cryptic note and four paintings Mira left in her care, sending her on a mission to visit the painter’s former friends and lovers across a tumultuous Europe teetering on war. As Sona leaves her quiet, sheltered life in Bombay behind, she’s thrust into cultures and situations she’s never had to face, learning valuable lessons, growing in her independence, and confronting her own painful past. She also learns her beloved Mira’s charming façade hid a complicated, troubled soul. With S IX DAYS IN BOMBAY , Alka Joshi shines a spotlight on Amrita Sher-Gil through the fictional character, Mira Novak. Amrita was a prodigy. She was flamboyant, political, outspoken, sexually fluid, and charming. She’s known as India’s Frida Kahlo because the women shared so much in common. Both identified with two cultures. Amrita’s father was a Sikh aristocrat and scholar while her mother was a Hungarian Jewish opera singer. Frida’s mother was Mexican, and her father was a Hungarian/German Jew. Yet, when it came to their art, they chose to focus on their non-European identity. Both artists died young and in uncertain circumstances. Amrita was only 28. Frida was 47. Joshi likes to believe that had Amrita lived longer she would have eventually been recognized as a global phenomenon. She explains, “It’s important to me that the work of female painters like Amrita Sher-Gil is not forgotten. Paying tribute to her in this novel is also my way of reclaiming my Indian identity.” Identity is a concept that has long fascinated Alka Joshi and it is central to this novel. “I came with my family to the United States from India when I was nine. Until then, I had only known Indian people, Indian food, and Indian customs,” she shares. “The moment I stepped on American soil, I was enchanted. It didn’t take me long to identify as American instead of Indian, but my otherness followed me everywhere. Which was I: American or Indian?” Joshi explores identity through the characters of Mira and Sona. While Mira moves with ease between two cultures, Sona is conflicted. Which culture deserves her loyalty? Which is she allowed to claim as hers? SIX DAYS IN BOMBAY is a “stirring, thoroughly immersive read filled with an unforgettable cast of characters, transporting settings, an intriguing quest, and a beautiful homage to the enduring bonds that connect us. Riveting, resonant, and richly detailed.” (Chanel Cleeton, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Cuban Heiress and The Last Days in Barcelona). “Six Days in Bombay is a sparkling travelogue and a poignant journey of self-discovery all in one. . .Alka Joshi is simply the best!” — Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network and The Rose Code “Alka Joshi ushers readers into a world on the cusp of war, and an Indian empire on the edge of independence, both of which serve as a cleverly drawn and fitting backdrop for the story of a woman seeking answers about her own complicated identity . . . A compelling and richly textured tale of art, loss, identity, and independence, Six Days in Bombay shines.” — Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Daughter ABOUT THE AUTHOR Born in India and raised in the U.S. since the age of nine. Alka Joshi has a BA from Stanford University and an MFA from California College of Arts. Joshi's debut novel, The Henna Artist, immediately became a NYT bestseller, a Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick, was Longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize, and has been translated into 30 languages. The Secret Keeper of Jaipur (2021) and The Perfumist of Paris (2023) completed the Jaipur Trilogy. Her fourth novel, Six Days in Bombay, will be released on April 15, 2025. She is currently working on her fifth novel. In 2024, Joshi was selected for the Forbes 50 over 50 List, celebrating women who are shattering age and gender norms across all sectors of the American economy and culture.

Join us for a special event with Chad McComber in conversation with Annie Ruygt, author of Camshaft 10. This event is free, but we appreciate your RSVP below so we can plan for your attendance. ABOUT THE BOOK Camshaft 10 is a collection of short stories, poems and comedy in a beautifully hard bound book. It is the 10 issue of Camshaft, an independently published zine that has been available in the underground of the Bay Area since 2003. Camshaft has delivered stories of strangeness, journals of personal memory and poetry. The ongoing horror serial, “The Well” has been published throughout. This latest edition of Camshaft has been beautifully designed by Annie Ruygt Bernard (another Napa native) and the cover is especially striking. There are six stories contained within, two poems and one comedic piece. The stories are widely ranging in scope and theme, from science fiction to familial introspection to an imagined encyclopedic entry of a failed west coast record company of the 1920s. In “The Shitstorm,” we meet a brilliant inventor who finds redemption by curing the human race of relieving themselves only to meet disastrous consequences. In “The Friendly Curse,” a young woman discovers a curse has been put on her family for the last three generations and she must travel to a secret cult in Ullville, California to uncover the mystery of her great-great grandmother’s past. And if you think that today’s politics are unapologetically disgusting, “Colonel Gerbenpepper’s Fancy Speech” reminds the reader of the gilded age’s most corrupt Senator, Colonel Gerbenpepper. Camshaft 10 is a compilation unlike any other, leaving you to laugh, to shudder and to have much to contemplate upon completion. " I first encountered CAMshaft years ago in its original skin as a handmade indie zine. There was something raw and almost dangerous about the high-contrast Xeroxed pages and stapled binding holding an eclectic mix of satire and prose within its crooked pages. With the publication of CAMshaft 10, Editor in Chief Chad McComber has chosen to leave the DIY esthetic behind at the Kinkos, releasing instead a stunning hardcover novella length tome in celebration of his tenth issue. While the production value has increased dramatically, I was thrilled to discover that the unpredictable punk-rock aesthetic of those early issues has remained intact. The book opens with a note from the editor followed by a satirical “letters” section that sets the stage for serious writing that doesn't take itself too seriously. The rest of the book is a series of short stories and humor sketches penned by McComber, including a longer piece in the middle called The Friendly Curse. A continuation of the serialized fiction, The Well, which has its 10th installment in this book, is contained. In closing, CAMshaft may have grown up and put on some fancy clothes with this latest installment, but at its heart, it will always be that immature little scamp with staples in its spine, sling-shotting rocks at the conventional norms of prose and humor. " - Ricardo Zegri - Writer and Musician, winner of the 2025 Emerging Writer Award for Short Story from the Key West Literary Seminar ABOUT THE AUTHOR Chad McComber grew up in Napa, California and spent his early years reading, creating comic strips, making his own books and acting in local theater. Writing has always been a passion, and Chad has written many, many stories, theater pieces and songs. His sketch comedy troupe, "Single Entendre" played in San Francisco from 2003 to 2009 and he wrote and performed many shows for the San Francisco Fringe Festival, including "Ticonderoga" a comedic American revolution play about Henry Knox's delivery of the guns to Boston from Fort Ticonderoga, the first victory in the war for independence. Since 2003, McComber has been publishing his zine, "Camshaft," which has culminated in the release of Camshaft 10. His day job is a winemaker, which is an art in and of itself. ABOUT THE IN CONVERSATIONS PARTNER Annie Ruygt is an author and illustrator based in Northern California. She currently makes art for fly.io and illustrates books for adults and children. She co-founded the Spacious Tarot, and popular indie deck, and is working on an early-reader chapter book.
