Your evening starts in the garden as the light fades through the tree canopy. Taste your way through 12 California wines curated by Marchelle Wines and savor bites with each pour. Then stroll over to the iconic Banyan Bowl, where Hazmat Modine takes the stage for a Sound Session. The New York band draws on influences from the Mississippi Delta to the Mediterranean, and every place in between, takes the stage. Driven by harmonicas, tuba, horns, banjo and drums, with Wade Schuman's voice at the center, the sound is dense and joyful and completely its own. By the end of the first song, you'll understand why they've played in more than 40 countries. Choose your adventure: Enjoy the tasting, performance or both!

ABOUT HAZMAT MODINE

For over 15 years, New York-based Hazmat Modine has toured more than 40 countries, collaborating with an extraordinary range of artists including Bombino, the Kronos Quartet, Cat Empire, the Gangbé Brass Band from Benin, and Natalie Merchant. Their album “Cicada” earned France's prestigious Charles Cross Award for Best Blues Album of the Year and reached #1 on the World Music Charts in Europe. The title track from their debut album, “Bahamut,” was featured in Wim Wenders' acclaimed 3D film Pina and is currently performed live by Pina Bausch and the Stuttgart Ballet.

The band is a true collective of world-class musicians: Erik Della Penna on guitar and banjitar, Daisy Castro on violin, Steve Elson on baritone sax and clarinet, Pamela Fleming on trumpet, Reut Regev on trombone, Varun Das on drums and percussion, and Kenneth Bentley on tuba. Together, they draw on early blues, gypsy jazz, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and global folk traditions to create something that is wholly and unmistakably their own.
