In addition to co-directing the BMF, Gabe has also organized many sustainable-minded music events, including four annual bike-music tours of Utah, The Winter Walking Tour, and the upcoming Summer Walking Tour. Catch his band live-on-bike, rolling from GG Park to Dolores Park; you’ll be captivated by his golden voice that ranges from smooth and sweet like honey to dangerously exciting like Michael Jackson dancing in a lightning storm.…
