Caffe Trieste and Kiki Wow present The Proudest Monkeys and Joe Scardina on Saturday, February 17, 6:30pm-9:30pm.

The Proudest Monkeys is a musical collective operating out of Monterey. In 2016, band leader Trevor Lucier released the album Destruction of the Species. Following a successful first show, which was declared one of the area`s best shows of the year by local publication The Monterey County Weekly; the rest of the group came together around a mutual conviction that music is a potent resource in the movement to bring humanity closer together.

Joe Scardina is a Carmel Valley based singer-songwriter, focused on fluid vocal melody and contemplative chord progressions. He has been seen previously performing with popular Monterey County act Valley Soul and recently stepped out of his comfort zone to prepare a solo performance consisting of heart-felt original songs. With a style ranging from soulful blues to alternative rock, he seeks to create a sound that provides an audience with warmth and thoughtfulness.
