TINY STORE CONCERT Singer-songwriter Nathan Sadly, a CSUMB music student whose real name is Nathan Cobar, is having himself a year: He dropped his first album, Red Matter, last September, and his second, Malleable, this past April. His songs are catchy, creative and clever, both easy and interesting to listen to. He’s young and still relatively unknown, but he’s someone to watch, a potential future star readying to ascend. And it’s hard to imagine a better place to watch him perform right now than Recycled Records, Monterey’s oldest record shop. [DS] 7-9:30pm Saturday, June 28. Recycled Records, 604 Lighthouse Ave., Monterey. $7; $5/students. 375-5454, bit.ly/NathanSadly. Saturday, June 28– Sunday, June 29 HAM IT UP There’s no shortage of communication modes in our modern world—from TikTok to newspapers to text messages, we are in touch constantly. But beyond all of this, there is still old-school ham radio, with amateur operators all over the planet communicating directly to each other at a higher frequency than AM/FM radio. How does it work, and what are they saying? This open house is a chance to meet with the people at the Monterey Bay Amateur Radio Association and learn what they do, how they respond during emergencies, and how to get involved yourself. “This is a public service,” MBARA President Dusan Tatomirovic says. “Its primary importance lies in providing crucial emergency communications when traditional systems fail during disasters.” Tune in during Amateur Radio Field Day at MBARA’s headquarters and locations nearby. [SR] 10am-7pm Saturday-Sunday, June 28-29. Monterey Bay Amateur Radio Association, 599 Dx Drive, Marina. Free. 204-8401, n6ij.org. FIDDLE PLAY As part of the 2025 Big Sur Fiddle Camp taking place in Big Sur comes a community concert. Listen to the top fiddle teachers from all over the world. The following day, Henry Miller Library presents Deep in the Redwoods: The Great Big Sur Fiddle Jam, which is another chance to experience topnotch string music. Participating musicians include John Weed, Miles Zaud, Ruairidh Mackay, Nick Milo, Zach Brown and others. [AP] 7:30pm Saturday, June 28. Location in Big Sur to be announced upon a ticket purchase. $35. lygia@bigsurfiddlecamp.org, bigsurfiddlecamp.org. 2-5pm Sunday, June 29.

Hot Picks by Sloan Campi, Erik Chalhoub, Dave Faries, Celia Jiménez, Pam Marino, Agata Popęda, Katie Rodriguez, Sara Rubin and David Schmalz. For the dogs, every visit to the Pacchetti Dog Park is worthy of celebration. This Saturday, June 28, humans and canines will celebrate the 10-year milestone of the popular Seaside park. DANIEL DREIFUSS I TRADED MY QUIET RETIREMENT IN CARMEL FOR A VIBRANT SOCIAL LIFE IN A 55+ RESORT COMMUNITY THIS IS AN ADVERTORIAL BASED ON ACTUAL CUSTOMER FEEDBACK FOR TRILOGY SAN JUAN OAKS After owning a thriving scrapbook store and scrapbook retreat company, I sold the business and retired in 2023. I had been living in Carmel for years, and after retiring, I knew I wanted a more active lifestyle. Carmel is beautiful, but it’s a little quieter than what I was looking for. When I first visited a Shea Homes Trilogy community in La Quinta, where my daughter lives, I loved the whole vibe and what they offered. The facilities were beautiful, and everything was maintained so well. It was clear the people who lived there had a zest for life and wanted to get out, do things, and have fun— which is easy because at Trilogy communities, they bring the entertainment to you! So, after retiring, I was sitting in my condo in Carmel, and I thought; let me see what Shea Homes is doing around here. When I discovered Trilogy San Juan Oaks, I knew it was where I needed to be. I moved into my new home in December 2024, and I am loving life. I’m less than an hour from the ocean, and it’s easy to visit and see my friends there. But I’ve met so many new friends here too. And now I’m bringing so many people out to look at the community, to hopefully join me out here! I’ve truly found a community of people with a zest for life, in a similar age group (I’m 61). Last year Shea did a welcome dinner for a group of us who bought the first 24 homes. I first met other homeowners here at a dinner for new members, and found we had similar interests, and were at similar stages in our lives. Several of us stayed in touch through the whole build process. We would meet for dinner, and some even invited me and the construction crew for dinner. It was great going through the process together. Everyone is super friendly. I recently saw a new neighbor and pulled over to introduce myself out the car window, because I know what it’s like to be a new homeowner! Life here is only going to get better. My home is important, but to me, my life outside the home is even more important. I encourage anyone—singles, couples, those looking for a rich and full life in their retired years to check out Shea Homes Trilogy communities. And if you end up at Trilogy San Juan Oaks, I look forward to welcoming you! To learn more about this community visit Trilogy55Monterey.com or call 831-784-8872.
