… the ATOM Ensemble is making its Annex debut! With a new record forthcoming, a fresh batch of new tunes to add to the band songbook, and oodles of musical energy and positive vibes to radiate into the world, we’re looking forward to coming together in community!

The Natural Grocery Company is proud to present this series in partnership with SunJams and Javier Navarrette Music Productions.  SunJams is committed to funding children’s music education in underserved public elementary schools.
