Nestled within an unassuming yet peculiar little business complex in Fairfax, California, lies the vibrant nucleus of Studio Breeze, the creation-hub behind those renowned and vivid landscape design patches adorning heads of the trucker cap/beanie/straw hat wearing public across the North Bay and beyond. Notably, even Lady Gaga seems enamored with the Breeze brand as she hobnobbed around LA last year.
Owner Tommy Breeze defies the conventional image of a CEO in the fashion industry. Tall and gangly, with a sweet countenance and a serene disposition, his curly, dark locks are often restrained beneath one of his personally crafted trucker hats. You might frequently spot him pedaling around town or delivering his creations to local stores in his old Toyota station wagon.

Tommy's ethos revolves around community, creativity, and fostering the success of others. "My dream is to build a creative platform that helps artists thrive" he shares. His business model involves recognizing and bolstering other local businesses in innovative ways, such as hosting "sew-ins" and "design your own hat" events at local establishments, which benefit both parties.

On occasional weekends during the mild seasons of late spring to mid-fall, after the sewing machines have been silenced and the studio lights dimmed, Breeze transforms the outdoor patio space of the shop into a mesmerizing music venue. With stage lights aglow, amplifiers humming, it becomes a sanctuary for the young and old alike to rock and roll. At most of Tommy's gatherings, teenagers groove alongside middle-aged women getting their head-bang on, while old-timers sway to the beat, and a motley crew of hipsters, hippies, and eccentrics join in the community dance party, ensuring an evening of fantastic music that will get you home and in bed with a good book by 10PM.
Over the past year, Studio Breeze has hosted an impressive lineup of influential local bands, including Milk For The Angry, PSDSP, El Radio Fantastique, San Geronimo, and Sunhunter, as well as national acts such as Colorado's River Spell, Achilles Wheel, and Boot Juice from the Sierra foothills, and Half Hour Late from San Diego.
