Ah, Willow Den, how we’ve missed your subtle charm this last year. Though dim and dark, you are warm and welcome, and always contain at least a few surprises within. Since rebranding as Willow Den Public House in 2019, the Den has been making a push towards music, though that was quickly interrupted by the pandemic. This Saturday, however, they promise “Live Music is Back,” with a show from Bay Area reggae groups Kruel Summer, and Lot49, both of whom like to mix a little R&B with their reggae. Summer’s just beginning, and these mellow grooves are just the kind you want to get stuck in.

Kruel Summer, Lot49, & Superbloom
Sat, 9pm, Free
Willow Den, San Jose
