Roger Daltrey and nearly the entire WHO band, (minus Pete Townshend), came to Santa Rosa on Friday evening Sept 4 and played a 90 minute set at the LBC.

The Alterman Images music photography exhibit opened on the 8th of August. Opening day was a smashing success, thanks to all the people who showed up to support the project.

Glen Hansard 'peaking' at HSB 2024 Today I woke up with the tragic news of one of my favorite musicians on the planet, Irishman, Glen Hansard. He died from a fatal motorbike accident at the age of only 56. Already, Ed Sheeran, Bruce Springsteen and numerous other musicians are coming forward with tributes to Hansard, just hours after his death. He leaves behind a wife and three year old boy.

Spin Doctors In the late eighties, three bands were formed. In 2026 all three played in the North Bay on one stage at the beautiful Green Music Center at Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park, California. The Green Center has both indoor and outdoor areas to view the show from. And the interior of venue itself is stunning. Chris Barron / Spin Doctors The show opened with the Spin Doctors.
