Far West Fest

Far West Fest | Point Reyes

West Marin has plenty of adventure to get caught up in. The Far West Fest is this weekend at Love Field in Point Reyes. Surely one of the better festivals in Marin, this year marks the 10th anniversary of the event, which has raised over $300,000 for local charities. Four stages of live music is always a welcomed destraction. Ozomatli and the Monophonics will probably draw the largest crowds. Local bands such as Aaron Harris & the Bad Farmers, El Radio Fantastique, and the Kyle Martin Band, will hopefully grab the attention of festival goers. 

Fresh oysters, cold Lagunitas and Iron Springs beer, delicious wine and camping, in case you're having too much fun, are available on site. The event begins at 10am and runs through 7pm. If you don't have any weekend plans consider attending the Far West Fest this Saturday, July 25th. Enjoy.

Cloverdale Concerts

Cloverdale | CA

Friday night live is a weekly event at the Plaza in Cloverdale. These free concerts begin at 7:00pm. This summer's lineup hosts a plethora of artists, most are local, some are well-known. Thanks to the Cloverdale arts alliance for curating such a cool endeavor. The farmers market accompanies each live show, getting under way at 5:30pm.

This Friday (June 19th) JP Harris & the Tough Choices play their own brand of Nashville country. Some of the other artists I'd like to catch are Sister Sparrow & the Dirty Birds (July 3rd), El Radio Fantastique (July 10th), The Stone Foxes (July 17th), Orgone (July 31st) and The Mother Hips (August 7th). This weekly series runs through September 4th and is often sponsored by a winery or vineyard. Free music is worth the drive.

Whiskers & Whiskey

Happy Halloween Hopmonk Sebastopol

Happy Halloween to all of you who partake in the hallowed eve of debauchery. Ghosts and ghouls in the west county of Sonoma have the option to get rowdy at the local water'n hole this Halloween. Hopmonk is hosting a spirited adult evening dubbed, Whiskers & Whiskey. Sounds good. Mustache's will be in full effect, I've been cultivating the caterpillar on my upper lip for a few weeks now.

In the abbey Phutureprimitive and El Radio Fantastique will be performing, along with others. There will also be a garden stage with live music and DJ's. Cheers to the local scene.

Here's to a fantastic Halloween, no matter how old you are. To all those driving, be on the look out for the trick or treaters and the late night staggerers. Have fun and be safe. Enjoy!
