Our friends at Shaping SF lead a walking tour of “urban green spaces and the treescape” of the TL. From street and sidewalk interventions to community gardens to redwoods(!) to nature-based public art, take another look at this ultra-urban space hiding reverence for nature in plain sight.

Thursday November 12, 2026 | 5-8pm

At Dodge Alley (Turk & Larkin St.)

Jordan Glenn's BEAK (est. 2014) is a percussion heavy ensemble that blurs the line between dynamic/energetic grooves and chaos. The power of this electric ensemble is wheeled by Jordan Glenn’s curious baton, moving in and out of composed and spontaneous material. The group features Sudhu Tewari (homemade instruments), Robert Lopez (percussion), Mark Clifford (vibraphone), Jon Arkin (drums), Lisa Mezzacappa (bass), David James (guitar) and Karl Evangelista (guitar).

Glenn’s BEAK is experimental music at its most fun, deftly balancing spontaneity and noise with infectious grooves and sensory delights. Importantly, this music points to the rich tradition of experimental music in the Tenderloin nurtured via Luggage Store’s Creative Music Series and the Center 4 New Music… a first for TLM’s music-forward programs at Dodge Alley’s. Plus, the band is somewhat of a supergroup of the improvising musicians at the heart of the Bay Area’s deeply rooted experimental and New Music scene. Not to be missed!
