The Gaven Street Band at the Knockout

We are back and ready to ROCK! Grab your friends and head on over for a night of live music and good vibes for a great cause! Doors open at 6PM. 21 and over only.

Tickets are FREE and for RSVP purposes only. You won't need it for entry to the event. All are welcome!

If you would like to support music education, donations will be accepted at the door (see more below).

We are suggesting a donation of $20 per person. Net proceeds will go to the Nunya Academy, which provides free music education to students in Ghana. Founder Dr. Kofi Gbolonyo is a longtime collaborator of the San Francisco School music teachers Sofía Lòpez-Ibor and James Harding and retired SFS music teacher Doug Goodkin. For decades they have supported each other in connecting students to the world through the performing arts. Learn more here.

There will be a donation box at the door and, since it's 2024, also a Venmo code.
