    The Return of Nostalgia Fest - 2011

    Saturday, April 16th, 2011

    Yeah, I know. The ’90s were a great time for music in Santa Rosa and Sonoma County. Great places to play were as plentiful as the bands and fans that were packing them in. And now here we are, almost twenty years later (shudder) and those who were involved in the scene are left reminiscing […]

    Harlowe & The Great North Woods @ The Rumble Portland

    Monday, February 7th, 2011

    I’ve had the pleasure of seeing the folk stylings of Harlowe & The Great North Woods a few times around town now, and each time the Portland based seven-piece just keeps sounding better. Their music is delicate and filled with varying layers of strings, harmonizing vocals, and a level of genuine emotional delivery that truly […]

    The Flying Skulls at the Hop Monk July 8th

    Sunday, July 4th, 2010

    I am way out of touch with my people in the Santa Rosa area.  I guess that’s why I haven’t heard of “The Best Dance Event in the North Bay” 2 years running (Bohemian).  If that alone’s not enough to convince you to check out this event then maybe this year’s ”rag-time hobo theme” will peak your oscillator?  San […]
