Mendocino Quartet

Billed as the "North Coast's multigenerational string band ", four accomplished Mendocino County-based musicians will travel down the coast to Point Arena to bring their sound and a good time to the historic Arena Theater. Featuring beautiful 4-part harmonies, the quartet includes long-time collaborators Steven Bates, Gwyneth Moreland, David Hayes, and Gene Parsons performing contemporary and traditional folk music.

Bates is a superb vocalist, a gifted songwriter, and extraordinary guitar-hero whose live performances leave audiences exhilarated, rejuvenated and clamoring for more.
When he plays acoustic, he delivers a fast paced strumming technique that has a rock and roll vibe unto itself.

Gwyneth Moreland is an acclaimed songwriter whose tours have taken her to stages all across the U.S. and her hauntingly beautiful vocals are winning her invitations to collaborate with numerous recording artists.

David Hayes is a veteran of The Van Morrison Band, Jesse Colin Young's band, Southside Johnny, the Asbury Jukes and more having played in hundreds of sessions and on stages around the world with Ray Charles, Tom Waits, Bobby Bland, John Lee Hooker, Joan Baez and dozens more.

Gene Parsons is a multi-instrumentalist who played with the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers. He has performed on stage and in-studio with many artists including Arlo Guthrie, Everly Brothers, and Randy Newman.
