10 GOOD REASONS TO SEE
THE KTO PROJECT & SILVESTRE MARTINEZ ON JUNE 21!
TWO SHOWS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE: You will see two very dynamic and different bands. The KTO Project will deliver a danceable, lively set of music that weaves musical styles from the African-Diaspora, and The Silvestre Martinez Sextet will deliver Latin Jazz music that has its roots in Oaxaca, Cuba and more.
- GROUP DISCOUNT TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE: We are making the concert even more affordable by offering group discount tickets-bring your friends and pay $8 less than the door price!
- RHYTHMIX IS AN AWESOME VENUE: There is plenty of room on the dance floor, plus comfy seating and Rhythmix has a great sound system!
- ALAMEDA IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK: From 880 in Oakland, Just cross over the Park Street Bridge and turn left at the first light. Rhythmix is two blocks down on the left –hand side.
- YOU ARE SUPPORTING LOCAL ARTISTS: Thank you for showing your support for Bay Area musicians.
- YOU'LL FEEL GREAT ONCE YOU ARE OUT ON THE DANCE FLOOR: Studies show live music and dancing make you feel better, but Stanford research has proven that dancing makes you smarter!

- ANTHONY "TRU" PETERSON TO PLAY WITH KTO PROJECT: Anthony (who played guitar with the KTO Project from 2005-2010) is flying out from the east coast to join the KTO Project. He is a masterful guitarist, ukulele and lap steel player. He loves to improvise, and we look forward to his performance!
