“The Annex Sessions" Wednesday, September 10, 2025, 6-8:30 PM will continue our music series held at El Cerrito Natural Grocery Company Prepared Food Annex (The Annex) with

The Hogan Brothers

Steve Hogan- electric bass

Colin Hogan- keyboards

Julian Hogan- drums

East Bay natives “The Hogan Brothers” play an exciting blend of Jazz Fusion informed both by their musical upbringing in the culturally-rich SF Bay Area and their extensive world travels, studying with master musicians all around the globe. The sibling trio has collectively performed on five continents and are now pleased to be bringing their unique sound back to El Cerrito, full circle - the city in which they all attended elementary school.

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. Your donation will help support this ongoing program.
All of the proceeds will go directly to our network of local musicians, each of whom have been severely impacted by the lack of events during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Whether you donate $10, $100, or $1000 - any amount helps and will allow us to keep bringing music to our community! As always, your donation to SunJams 501(c)3 may qualify as tax exempt.

Javier Navarrette Music Productions continues to bring live music to several venues around the Bay Area. Javier has been a professional musician and music educator in the Oakland Unified School District for the past 20 years.
