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.

You're Invited to Our Launch Party!
The Pacific Sun and Local Music Vibe, in conjunction with The Woods Music Hall at the Mill Valley Masonic, invite you to come party with us as we celebrate our new collaboration! Kick up your heels with the Bay Area return of your favorite dance band, About Face! Marin's own Summer of Love band The Wyld Ones will get the party started with some classic rock and blues.

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.

Jon Popenoe Blues Band

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!
