France vs. Italy: Battle of the European Fish Stews @ Bluewater Grill
Jan 14 @ 5:30 pm – 5:30 pm

Bluewater proudly kicks off its 2020 Second Tuesday Monthly Tasting Series with a Jan. 14 showdown between Europe’s two famous fish stews paired with hand-selected wines from each country. Following the special events, seafoodies will be able to declare which centuries-old dish is best: French Bouillabaisse or Italian Cioppino.
The “French Bouillabaisse vs. Italian Cioppino Tasting Event” on Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2020, is part of a month-long competition between the two European fish stews. The $45 tasting event features separate bowls of French Bouillabaisse, made with saffron and garlic, and a tomato-based Italian Cioppino, paired with a glass of French Pinot Blanc and an Italian red, respectively.
Seafood fans unable to attend the Jan. 14 celebrations can order the same fish stews for the regular menu price throughout January; while the French and Italian wines are included on Jan. 14 only, they can be added for the per-glass price during the remainder of the month. The French Bouillabaisse is also available as a seasonal special through February, and customers can enjoy Bluewater’s San Francisco Cioppino year-round.

Ever heard of a big band covering Rihanna? No? Well then get ready, my friend! Were happy to introduce you to the new generation of big band music born of rebellion, while continuing to honor the style and evolution of the genre that Sinatra immortalized. How good are we? Glad you asked. We have musicians who have toured with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Robert Randolph and the Family Band and New Kids on the Block. This group is nothing if not upfront: its one of those rare cases where everything you know is right in the name: Weve got Shaun Johnson – an Emmy-winning singer/songwriter who has sold nearly two million albums as part of the nationally known vocal group, Tonic Sol-fa. Then theres the big band sound. Few acts can channel Sinatra as he softly croons about lost love, inhabit Citizen Cope as he belts one out, and then segue into the theme from Spiderman without any indication that these musicians, these eras, and these styles were ever anything but destined to go together. Lastly, theres the experience. Our sound is centered on innovation to ensure that, while each performance is an experience that audiences wont soon forget, no two experiences are exactly the same. Being relatively new to the game, BBE has a fresh sound that audiences havent ever heard before. Looking for a group heavily influenced by the big band era, but which never not for one moment feels as if it lives anywhere but the present? Youll find it with The Shaun Johnson Big Band Experience!

SoCal Whale Watching Kayak Tour @ Redondo Beach Marina
Jan 19 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm

Each November the Pacific grey whales begin their southern migration from the arctic waters of the Bering Sea passing through Southern California on their way to the warm water lagoons of Baja returning north around March. While we can’t guarantee an encounter with a whale we will see other marine life such as sea lions bright orange garibaldi pelicans and dolphins in their natural environment. We’ll review basic paddle strokes and boat safety prior to paddling out on our 4-5 mile adventure. *Please note this environment may have rolling water which can lead to motion sickness. Must be 12 years of age or older and anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
