Producer and record label auteur Chris Manak, aka Peanut Butter Wolf, is returning to San Jose for his second homecoming appearance this year. The founder of the taste-making Stones Throw Records, an LA-based indie label that was once home to alternative hip-hop OGs like MF Doom, J Dilla and Madlib, headlined the Jazz Beyond stage at the 2019 San Jose Jazz Summer Fest. As Peanut Butter Wolf has grown his label, his curatorial tastes have only broadened. He’ll be discussing his musical journey during this free talk celebrating hip-hop history month.

It’s little wonder that Lowrider Magazine, the world’s authority on bouncy Buicks, chopped Chevy’s and dropped Dodges, came out of San Jose. From Cesar Chavez to freestyle music, the South Bay has long been a hub of Chicano culture. In conjunction with “Story and King: San Jose’s Lowrider Culture”—on display through March 31 at the King Library—“Out of the Past: San Jose’s Lowrider History” is one of several events celebrating the art of these tricked-out cruisers. This panel discussion will feature a number of lowriding pioneers along with those who are carrying the tradition into the 21st century.
