Our BLISSful Thursday
Wanting to share our favorite beach spot with our Temecula guests, Caylie, her girls, and her mom, Rhonda, we went to D.L. Bliss State Park.
The grandeur of the park and its setting is a product of successive upheavals of the mountain-building processes that raised the Sierra Nevada. From promontories such as Rubicon Point in D.L. Bliss State Park you can see over one hundred feet into the depths of Lake Tahoe.
The park is named for a pioneering lumberman, railroad owner, and banker of the region. The D.L. Bliss family donated 744 acres to the State Park system in 1929.
It was a truly blissful day.
"This Thursday we're dialing up the funk as we welcome Ideateam back to the Live at Lakeview stage!"
Ideateam is an evolving cast of Sacramento-based musicians who work together collectively to refine their craft through their distinct original compositions, along with an array of both vintage and modern cover arrangements. The band's live sets are known for flowing in and around a winding fusion of grooves while leaning on a foundation of experimental funk, soul, and R & B sounds.
We loved these talented guys! They truly put the FUN in FUNk.
"What sets Ideateam apart from other bands
is that they’re a force to be reckoned with,
whether as an instrumental band or with a singer.
It’s not hard to imagine that if Tower of Power,
Larry Graham, Eddie Kendricks and Lettuce had birthed a baby,
Ideateam would be that spawn."
- Paul Piazza, Submerge Magazine
What a day!
I love this description, "[...] expecting the funk in its purest primordial form: A confluence of tight, technical tunes dripping with that amalgam of mud and forest floor, where spores rise of their own accord and you have no choice but to sit and sully your blue-and-white dress to consider the mushroom, to heed the nearby placard reading: “Eat me.” - Dave Kempa, Sacramento News & Review
