We are delighted to have the Back Porch Trio (aka BP3) performing this Saturday at our 2026 Gala. This popular Mendo County band’s repertoire includes upbeat stomp and holler, plaintive ballads, funk, folk, pop, and tunes that are just plain fun. They’ve performed a few times at the Museum’s First Fridays, doing a mix of original songs and covers with their own unique interpretations. We’re really excited to have them be a part of our Gala, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Grace Hudson Museum.

If you don’t already have a ticket, you’re out of luck. We are officially sold out.

Here’s the final auction tease for our 2026 Gala on September 26, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Grace Hudson Museum. Museum Director David Burton will open up his modest home to host and prepare an al fresco dinner for six guests on his back deck. During cocktail time, blues/Americana guitarist Clay Hawkins will perform on a variety of guitars and talk a bit about their characteristics. David will arrange the menu with the winning bidder, and the meal will be paired with w**es selected by the evening’s sommelier, Martha Barra. During the dinner, participants will play a game David is calling “3 Questions.” (Don’t ask, just wait and see.) Much fun will be had by all. As dining will be outdoors, the dinner will need to occur between mid-May and early July 2027. Donated by David Burton (dinner & music) and Martha Barra (w**es).

FINAL CALL for online ticket purchases. Go to the homepage of the Grace Hudson Museum website and find the GALA 2026 TICKETS button. After tonight, you’ll need to phone the Museum during regular business hours, or drop by in person, to check on ticket availability: (707) 467-2836 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Here’s another live auction item we’ll be featuring at our 2026 Gala on Saturday, September 26, 5:00 to 8:00 PM.
