FLAMENCO! LIVE! was envisioned, conceived, and has thrived since 2002 in Sonoma County, California, now celebrating 20 years! Presenting the collaborative efforts of the Bay Area’s finest Flamenco Singers, Guitarists and Dancers, and supporting local Flamenco students, dreamers, and talents, our goal has been to present top-notch instruction and performances. Phoebe Vernier “La Fibi” has brought decades of artistry and energy to the public for the purpose of sharing the music, song and dance, the treasure of Southern Spain. Whether in the classroom, formal theater or in a casual setting, the respect, purity, and integrity of this traditional, yet living and evolving art form is always foremost.
New in 2023!
This performance is underwritten by the generous support of “The Circle of Sponsors”, a group of flamenco music, song and dance supporters from Sonoma County, California and Nationwide that believe in the power of local art to heal and inspire our community and world. Thank you, Sponsors!

In the Summer of 2018, the musical journey of trumpeter/vocalist Paul Schneider and guitarist Hannes De Kassian began as they explored the realms of jazz and funk, lighting up clubs, bars, and wineries across Sonoma and Marin Counties in California’s North Bay Area. However, like many, their progress was disrupted by the global pandemic in 2020. Amidst the turmoil, Paul reconnected on-line with his close friend and creative collaborator, renowned drummer Atma Anur, who now resided in Europe. This rekindled connection led to a musical revelation.

Nashville Honeymoon
2024-02-10 21:00 - 23:30
Lynne Maes and Hank Maninger, along with bandmates Tim Wagar and Leor Beary, offer a distinctive sound and original compositions that honor traditional country music while deliberately pushing its boundaries. Hank’s driving lead guitar, perfectly balanced by Lynne’s true-blue vocals, are – as the old song goes – the right combination. Add tight vocal harmonies, a rhythm section that can play a country shuffle every bit as well as a country rock anthem, and you’ve got a dynamic and heartfelt show every time they hit the stage.
