Just wanted to give a little shine to some excellent gems many Concordians don't know about!

Berk's Beans - coffee roaster

1717 Solano Rd

(on the backside of the commercial park)

Amazing fresh roasted coffee. Open everyday 9a - 1p. $6 for a pour over, which is comped if you buy a bag of fresh roasted coffee. They were featured on the cover of Diablo Gazette this month

Live Oak Kitchen - pop up BBQ

4075 Forestview Ave, Concord, CA 94521

(Residential)

This pop-up makes killer tri-tip sandwiches, smoked turkey, hot links, ribs, and more. They usually sprout up every other Saturday spring through fall.

Bat Snacks - bat-shaped cheesy crackers

Local musician Matt Xavier decided to launch his own brand of savory snacks, with $1 of every bag sold going to bat habitat preservation. Available in Wicked Cheddar and Hellfang Heat. He has a pop-up that makes appearances at local events, but he also distributes. I'm Concord, you can find bags at Epidemic Ales and Red Hat Sports Bar.

Hi all!

I'm brand new to Reddit and thought it only made sense for my first post to be here.

Just wanted you all to be aware of my weekly local music show The Beat of Diablo on KVHS. It airs Sundays and Thursdays at 7pm. If you're in the west or north side of Diablo Valley, you can find it on the dial at 90.5 FM, otherwise you can stream it at KVHS.com

I showcase independent music of all genres, with an emphasis of what's new in the Bay. I've aired over 600 unique acts over these last 240 weeks, and am always adding new folx to the fold. If you've got music you'd like considered for airplay go to TheBeatofDiablo.com and click "submit music".

If you have an upcoming show in the East Bay that you'd like mentioned on air, you should know that I will need that information about two weeks in advance. The show is pre-recorded, usually on Wednesdays, with new episodes slated to air Sunday. Thursday is a rebroadcast.

If you live in Contra Costa County (outside of Concord and Clayton) you can get the show on community access television on Comcast 26.

OK, the obligatory show post is done.
