Join us for a special Sunday brunch featuring celebrated Tucson artists, Gabrielle Pietrangelo & Katie Haverly!

Gabrielle Pietrangelo’s desert inspired, voice centered, indie-folk has been evolving in the Tucson region for two decades. Recently returning to solo songwriter roots after years of harmony-based projects, Gabrielle is set to release a full-length solo album in early 2024. Driven by guitar and ethereal vocals, Gabrielle’s music holds themes of nature, image invoking lyrics, humor and personal spirituality. She is a recent John Lennon Songwriting Contest winner and has arranged and performed vocal harmonies for many national and local acts including, Calexico, Howe Gelb, Amos Lee, Marianne Dissard, and Brian Lopez.

There is an ache in this world that Katie Haverly seeks to salve on her new album, Triangulating Line. Throughout a 10-song collection that spans a joyous mesh of soulful pop, jazz, folk, and rock, the alt-rock polymath wants to break a cycle of self-hate embedded into the heart of society itself. An all-star musical team helps the Tucson, AZ icon express the gospel of self-acceptance required to evolve human consciousness. Haverly also regularly composes music for television, film and dance and also works as a producer with other artists.

Brunch offerings include Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, Southwestern Omelets, Our version of a Monty Christo among other delights. We have excellent mimosas, margaritas, and Bloody Marys as well as gourmet coffee and espresso drinks.
