Raze the maze is the bay area-born progressive rock band from musical stalwarts, Tarik Ali Ragab and Moorea Dickason. They previously cofounded the Manga Carta Records band, MoeTar. Joining them to play this adventurous and ambitious music live are some of the best musicians in the Bay Area; Paul Hanson on bassoon, Brian Sheu on guitar, Terry Branam on drums and Colin Hogan on keys. This band and creative project from Moorea & Tarik seek to raze the internal maze of fear-based corporate-driven culture and to raise up creativity, connection, and expression in its place through music, art and community.

Captain Monk is the solo project from California's Bay Area based multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Jackson Allen. Growing up he was influenced heavily by The Beatles, Steely Dan, Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin. Then found Faith No More, Primus, and Mr. Bungle in his teens. Captain Monk is the vessel to combine all of that into a stew that only The Captain can create.
Jackson has appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, Ellen, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Good Morning America and many more. His music has been featured in television and movies.
Jackson has played and recorded with a wide variety of artists including Aloe Blacc, Whitney Houston, Otis McDonald, The Temptations, Narada Michael Walden, Zara Larrson, Nik West, John Cho, Gary Valenciano, Martin Nievera, Rubi Green, Tom Johnson, MC Hammer, Run DMC and more.
