Indian Lake Community Association presents Arts in The Garden featuring musician Gabe Navarre, and poet Ashley Wonder Admission is FREE and patrons are encouraged to bring non-alcoholic beverages and snacks to this family friendly event. Join us for an awesome time at Arts in The Garden!

 

 

Gabe Navarre was born in Paradise, California to a family with a long musical heritage. He wrote his first song at age 11. It wasn’t very good. But as Gabe matured, so did his songwriting and instrumental finesse. At 17, Gabe strapped on his wandering shoes and hopped a train west, settling in the artistic, bohemian houseboat community of Sausalito, California. It was there and in nearby San Francisco, that he honed his musical chops, playing clubs like John Lee Hooker’s Boom Boom Room and The Saloon, the longest continuously-running blues club in the country. His musical explorations drew him to Nashville, where he worked as a professional musician for two years, and followed that up with a stint on the Las Vegas strip. More recently, Gabe has brought his music home to New England. His songs are well-crafted, edgy and timeless.
