Bodhi Smith is a California native where he currently makes his home in Southwestern riverside County. Bodhi views photography as a journey to be taken. He is drawn to experience the wonders of being able to capture the lightening on the dramatic landscapes that he taken photos of.
Smith is a free spirit. He enjoys going on long adventures in the wilderness with his dog, the dude, trying to capture the peaceful landscape of a canyon or the towering snowcaped mountains "in the moment" of his camera. He wishes to share all these "impressions in time" with other people so they may enjoy it also.
“Photography through the years has now covered almost every single concept of merit. And these millions of photos have further covered "almost" every angle, "almost" every point of the four seasons to the four corners of the earth ...but it is that incomplete "almost" that keeps me walking down the path of discovery searching for that next breathless original impression.”
Presented by Dance Theatre Collective of Southern California in association with Temecula Presents

Presented by GaS Productions and The Ranch Rockers Country music is alive and well in Temecula and you’re gonna LOVE what you hear. Have you ever wondered how LeAnn Rimes, Garth Brooks, Taylor Swift or Toby Keith got started?
The producers of “Temecula Live!” have modeled COUNTRY AT THE MERC after the local “Oprys” throughout Arizona, Texas and the Southwest. Performers are auditioned to appear each week, backed up by the house band, The Ranch Rockers, giving local talent and budding artists a place to ply their craft and fill the air with hand clapping, boot stomping music.
On the first and third Saturdays of each month, we're playing LIVE country music in the frontier heart of Old Town Temecula in the historic Mercantile building. In a venue big enough to hold powerful sound yet small enough to make you think you're at a private concert, Gwyn, Sandi & The Ranch Rockers host a variety of performers and musicians giving it their all.
COUNTRY AT THE MERC is the only show of its kind on the West Coast. Forget about a long, expensive trip to Nashville or Branson to experience great country music. Stay right here!
TICKETS: $15 *Due to mature subject matter, parental discretion is advised at 9pm performances only.
AUDITIONS: Think you got what it takes to be a performer on the show? Join us between shows at 8:30 and give it your best shot! Audition with only your voice or bring a karaoke track or guitar. Those wishing to audition can also email TheMerc@TemeculaLive.orgor visit www.CountryAtTheMerc.info To view Upcoming Featured Performers, click here.
