Sunset Concert Series with Levi Platero
2025-06-06 17:00 - 20:30
Sunset Concert Series with Levi Platero
Levi Platero is a blues guitarist and songwriter whose music blends cultural pride, soulful expression, and fiery guitar work. A self-taught player from the age of nine, his early influences include the three Kings—B.B., Albert, and Freddie—as well as Stevie Ray Vaughan. That foundation shaped a style rooted in tradition but alive with modern energy. A member of the Navajo Nation, Platero grew up on the Gospel music circuit, drawing from a wide range of sounds. His music reflects this fusion, marrying gospel, blues, and rock into a singular voice. Platero first emerged with his family band, The Plateros, in 2004. Their blues-rock power trio earned comparisons to Stevie Ray Vaughan, ZZ Top, and Los Lonely Boys. After nearly a decade of touring and a stint with the Native rock band Indigenous, Levi returned to his solo career, ready to define his own sound. With roots deep in culture and blues tradition, Levi Platero continues to carve out a sound entirely his own.

SOLD OUT: Reviving the Wild: Hands-On Woodland Restoration in the Piñon-Juniper Ecosystem
2025-06-13 08:00 - 13:00
SOLD OUT
Location: Santa Fe Botanical Garden, 715 Camino Lejo
Date: Friday June 13th
Time: 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Cost: Adults $50/ Members $40
Join restoration ecologist Jan-Willem Jansens for an immersive, half-day workshop set in the heart of our piñon-juniper woodland. This interactive field experience will introduce you to the science and art of ecological regeneration—using simple, natural techniques to restore vitality to drought-stressed and erosion-prone landscapes.
Discover how to “read” the land and recognize key indicators of soil health, water flow, and vegetative patterns. Learn to design and install low-tech, low-impact restoration projects—like rock berms, one-rock dams and lop-and-scatter soil protection—that harness natural materials to slow runoff, capture moisture, reduce erosion, and foster resilient plant communities.
Participants will come away with practical skills in land stewardship, along with an understanding of the ecological principles that underpin successful regeneration in arid woodland ecosystems.
About the Instructor:Jan-Willem Jansens is the founder of Ecotone Landscape Planning, where he leads ecological restoration projects that integrate hands-on implementation with research and action planning. His work addresses the urgent challenges of biodiversity loss and climate change across the US Southwest, focusing on real-world solutions that build landscape resilience.
Participants should be able to walk, stand, kneel, use a rake, shovel, hand tools, and a wheelbarrow, and lift at least 10 pounds.
Items to bring:

hat
water
sunscreen
gloves
close-toed shoes
kneepads

Long sleeve shirts are recommended.
SFBG will provide water, iced tea, and some light refreshments, but recommend bringing own snacks.

Sunset Concert Series with Simply Three
Simply Three is a genre-blending instrumental trio from Phoenix, Arizona, known for their electrifying fusion of classical, rock, and pop music. Formed in 2010 by Nicholas Villalobos (cello), Zack Clark (bass), and later joined by Julian Nguyen (violin), the group began as street performers and quickly rose to global prominence through viral videos of innovative covers like “Wake Me Up” by Avicii and “Counting Stars” by OneRepublic. Their arrangements—marked by cinematic flair, intricate harmonies, and emotional depth—shine in both reinterpretations and original pieces such as the hauntingly beautiful “Rain.” With high-energy live performances of hits like “Rolling in the Deep” and “Take Me to Church,” Simply Three has captivated audiences worldwide. They’ve collaborated with artists like Brooklyn Duo, Peter Hollens, Nathan Pacheco, and Vitamin String Quartet, and remain deeply committed to music education through outreach, workshops, and masterclasses. Their evolving repertoire, including creative takes on tracks like “Despacito,” “Dance Monkey,” and “Bad Guy,” continues to push boundaries and redefine contemporary instrumental music.
