Caffe Trieste and Kiki Wow present Nicole Dillenberg and Marky Starks on Saturday, June 2, 6:30pm-9:30pm. Donations are gratefully accepted.

After thirty years in Los Angeles, Nicole Dillenberg is proud to make the Central Coast her home. A former concert artist, hard times and heartbreak turned her towards songwriting. In 2012, Nicole released a new EP of original material inspired by Tin Pan Alley composers, The Original Standards Project, which featured jazz all-stars Dan Lutz, Ray Brinker, and John Boswell. In 2014, Nicole had the honor of having her original song, Planned For Love, demoed by Sugar Joans (season 7 of The Voice).

In addition to being a music promoter of house concerts, the Ugly Mug in Soquel, and a KPIG fixture, Marky Starks is also a songwriter. Some of her songs are clever and funny and others explain the countryside where she lives. Sprinkled in are covers that have meaning for her and her audience.
