On Monday, November 5, Magnolia Pub & Brewery officially celebrated its birthday at the coolest music venue in San Francisco, the legendary Great American Music Hall, with the Everyone Orchestra (EO).

The Everyone Orchestra is an exciting ensemble assembled from a rotating cast of all-star musicians. This version of the group included EO founder/conductor Matt Butler, organist Melvin Seals, ALO guitarist Dan Lebowitz, multi-instrumentalist Joe Craven, Tea Leaf Green guitarist/vocalist Josh Clark, vocalist Audio Angel, electronica dulcimer wizard Jamie Janover (Zilla), plus the Jambay Trio and more.
The Everyone Orchestra provided two sets of inspirational improvisation led by Matt Butler, who communicates his musical whims to the band via a small grease board and a black marker. Several Magnolia beers were offered on tap for a discounted price including their Tenth Anniversary Ale. The atmosphere was jovial, as hundreds danced the night away at the historical venue.
