Local reviews of Hopeful Romantics:


“We speak today of the Hopeful Romantics, a group of musicians formed about a year ago around the rallying cry of Americana music, a mongrel hybrid of bluegrass,country, Appalachian, back porch, Grateful Dead-tinged hippie folk with subtle dabbles of rock and roll at the creamy center, though you have to listen closely to hear that. These guys play beautiful music from the hills and mountains of America.  Their harmonies are delightful, their song selection eclectic and fun.  You often get originals from Hope and Danny, and covers that span the songbook...”


Jim Caroompas - Martinez News Gazette


“....musically grabs you before you even realize the subject matter – it's just so damn catchy. ....” Chris Bryant - Patch.com


“Love the real musicians!  You guys are great, really enjoy their music” Kellie Fuller, live on the air.  Kellie In The Morning Show KVYN Radio 99.3 Napa, CA


"Unreal" "Got that Natalie Merchant kind of feel. Serious, mature" "That's phenomenal!" "This is great stuff!"”

I have found it's very hard to find a parking spot there. Another negative is the number of theRead More "constant outsdoorsmen" types lurking all around. I've been confronted several times and worried about leaving my car there.

The Fire Crew worked very late into the night and into the next morning. The Police were alsoRead More working nearby, picking up some of the dead baby animals that were hit on the road, displaced by the fire.

Hi Robert, Thanks for dropping in and checking out the blog. The new Patch look is so 'new' as I amRead More still learning to navigate through. Just updated it and added the link to my film review. Thanks again. Cheers!

I am happy to know that Mr. Behan's review of "STID" is now available. Might we knowRead More where it is available? Perhaps I am just an Apple lovin' technopeasant, but despite my frantic serial clicking on text without links, I could not find the actual story. Alas and alack I may never know why there is no darkness in "...Into Darkness" (or Lightness). Oh, and welcome back Jim!

Do City Council members still get free parking passes as perk?

The main reason I don't go to any of the businesses downtown is the lack of parking. What littleRead More there is is taken up by the owners of these establishments. God forbid they park somewhere else less convenient so actual paying customers can frequent their businesses.

Jim, then that's yet another penalty for showing up for jury duty. The system needs a big overhaul.Read More
