The Rhythm Express is playing at Swabbies on the River in Sacramento on Saturday, November 14th at 8:00pm. Details can be had at http://www.TheRhythmExpress.com/.

The Rhythm Express Band is a true variety band that plays a little bit of everything. Whether your event is a wedding, party, mixer, or special occasion, or you operate a commercial establishment, our mission is to provide live music that is certain to entertain you and your guests with hits that span a variety of genres and eras.

Whether you're young or not-so-young, our tune selection provides something for everyone. Our repertoire covers all genres of music from pop to dance to rock 'n' roll to country to soft rock, even sambas, and, if you like, we can even take you on a journey that starts today and includes stops in each decade back through time all the way to the 50's.

We know that every event is special, so we tailor our song list accordingly. For example, if your goal is to get guests movin' and groovin', every song we play will be danceable and we'll provide the juice to get even your worst stick-in-the-mud guest off their butt and onto the dance floor!

We can also perform lower energy material to serve as background entertainment for your dinner party, mixer or happy hour event. And, just as important as the music itself, we know that no one likes a band that's so loud you can't even think, let alone talk. Rest assured that we are professionals who pay special attention to volume. We assess the acoustics of your venue upfront so we know what to do to keep our sound under control at your particular venue. This way, you can have fun without worrying about having your ears blown off!

We know that every band tells you a BS story about how great they are, and many drop a music clip that was recorded in a studio, but when it's show time, they sound nothing like the clip they gave you. So, we're not going to do any of that. If you want to check us out, we'll be at Swabbies on the River in Sacramento on Saturday, November 14th at 8:00pm. Details can be had at http://www.TheRhythmExpress.com/.

The Sacramento Rescue & Restore Coalition has a continuously growing collection of artwork that has been donated by local artists. Coalition members are able to use the exhibit to reach out to communities where victims of trafficking may be found and to raise general awareness of modern day slavery. For that reason the artwork is not for sale, but instead has been incorporated into Coalition outreach materials and electronic media. Through the use of symbolism, realistic depictions, and the actual experiences of victims, artists have illustrated the devastation of human trafficking and the hope associated with the rescue and restoration of victims.

This coming January, Sacramento Rescue & Restore will have a series of events for National Human Trafficking Awareness Day and needs more art. Donating art is a great way for artists to add to their resume and gain visibility in the community. Art is also a powerful tool for change.

If you would like to submit a work of art to be displayed at our January Second Saturday event in recognition of National Human Trafficking Awareness Day, please submit images of your work with your name and phone number to:
