Can't stop the music! Summer vacation's technically over but that don't mean the music has to stop. In fact, this September the North Bay continues to rock and roll harder than ever with some great festivals, club dates and weekly jam sessions.

The man who drove ol' Dixie down Local tourist bureaus must cringe at the sound of Southern Culture on the Skids wallowing in the greasy underbelly of the Deep South on high-octane rockabilly that extols the virtues of stock-car races, finger-lickin' barbecue, Little Debbie snack cakes and the white-trash denizens of trailer parks.
But for Rick Miller—the band's co-founder, guitarist, vocalist and songwriter—the region is more than a source of kitsch and low-rent balladry: It's home. (Thursday, August 26, 2010, 11:27 AM)

Marin Country Mart at Larkspur Landing and Local Music Vibe present three hours of family-friendly, live music every Friday from May 28th to September 10. Each free show, beginning at 5pm, is outside on the grounds of the New Marin Country Mart. Shoppers and diners, as well as ferry riders, are encouraged listen to to the music in a relaxing, social atmosphere at the start of each weekend.
Music is the magic, enveloping the valhalla that is Rickey's in a misty shroud, as you try to remember why you were so uptight before you discovered that's it all good, sitting by the palm trees and the pool on a balmy indian summer evening. Dine and dip, bring fido. It's the food, it's the mojitos, it's just another great moment at Rickeys!
