Ojai at Berkeley (formerly Ojai North), 2016

At the end of this post you'll find the schedule for this year's Ojai at Berkeley. It's only three performances, where Ojai at Ojai has a dozen or so - this is very unfortunate. The Berkeley set doesn't come close to reflecting what will be performed to the south.
