Misfit Cabaret BLOOM "From the ashes of what once was, I rise--not as who I was, but as who I was always meant to become." From the barren shackles of winter, a single bud appears from the snow, stretching her face to the sun, just breaking from the clouds. As The Light kisses her dewy nose, she shyly unfurls her fledgling leaves, coyly beckoning her family of flora and fauna to awaken and begin in their rebirth. The Dead Things have served their purpose, and in their wake, new life grows strong and wild, dancing in the beauty of a new dawn. The cockroach, creatures of everlasting life, sparkles in all her glory as the stunning Banbury Cross gives a dewy rhinestone covered sheen to earth's most despised insect. Goddess Carlotta Di Carlo and Fey creature Oliver Branch welcome spring in a daring tribute. Violette On The Rocks sheds her thorns as she embodies the first rose of spring. And leading the procession of spring Kat Robichaud plays hostess, storyteller, and chanteuse, in an evening of artistry and rebirth.

Poolside began in a converted Los Angeles backyard pool house in early 2011 when Jeffrey Paradise set out on a low-stakes journey to produce appropriately chill music for summer soirees. A light but danceable kind of music with sunny vibes and liquid rhythm that he dubbed "Daytime Disco." Jeffrey, a San Francisco State University alumni, and SF mainstay has spent the better part of a decade and a half giving back to the SF Music Scene. The Daytime Disco moniker inspired Poolside's Daytime Disco weekly Spotify playlist. Curated by Paradise, featuring his own music and works by like-minded artists, it now boasts almost 43,000 followers and has become the catalyst for the debut of the Daytime Disco party in Union Square in 2025, and future events to come.

Feel-good funk, smooth grooves, and nonstop party vibes: In 2026, The Dazz Band proudly celebrates 50 Years of Dazz: The Legacy Lives Loud! The story began in 1976, when nine gifted musicians rehearsed relentlessly inside a Cleveland warehouse driven by discipline and belief. "It was like a nine-to-five job, five days a week," recalled founder Bobby Harris. That commitment paid off, leading the group, then known as Kinsman Dazz, to sign their first recording contract with 20th Century Records that same year. Led by saxophonist Bobby Harris, the group released their first single, Might as Well Forget About Loving You followed by their self-titled debut album, Kinsman Dazz, in 1977. This marked the first ot two Kinsman Dazz albums produced by Philip Bailey and Ralph Johnson of Earth, Wind and Fire. The project captivated listeners with a musically rich sound, defined by tight rhythms, jazzy chord progressions, expansive horn sections, sophisticated arrangements, and smooth vocal harmonies. Their growing success attracted major label attention, and in the early 1980s, the group signed with Motown Records and changed their name to The Dazz Band.

Following the release of 2023's Smalltown Stardust, King Tuff, the moniker of Burlington, Vermont artist Kyle Thomas, found himself a bit lost. He had felt lost since 2016. Both Smalltown Stardust and 2018's The Other had been departures from his sound, and while they were both new sonic places that he needed to explore, neither album felt all that fun to perform live.

At the early age of 4, she began playing violin and quickly became fascinated with her family's expansive record collection with a mother whose life had been embedded in the gospel church, Wilson found herself immersed in the genre and became enamored with R&B and gospel artists like Otis Redding, Billy Preston, Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone. It wasn't until her teenage years that she was introduced to genres like country rap and pop. "None of it really hit after so many years of what I was listening to, so I just implanted gospel into my brain." The name of Wilson's rollicking solo project fittingly came to her just as Wild Child was playing the last festival before their hiatus. While roaming around the festival grounds, a security guard yelled at her, calling her "sir" and "woman." Something clicked: It was the song that she had been singing in a dream the night before, the character she longed to create. "It felt so appropriate and reminded me of Motown, just classic but powerful. It was everything that I didn't really get to express in Wild Child." As Sir Woman, Wilson took the Austin music scene by storm in 2022 with the release of her full-length self-titled debut. It led to her taking the stage at renowned clubs, earning Artist Of The Year at the 2023 Austin Music Awards, as well as features in Rolling Stone, Spin.com, Variety and the Cover of Austin Chronicle and many other publications. The buzz surrounding Wilson's project has helped earn Sir Woman upwards of 30 million streams on Spotify.

Cinco De Mayo 2026: Punk rock. Mariachi. Two great tastes that go great together – er, right? Well, anyway, the two joined regardless one fateful August day in 2006, when The Bronx showed up to play on a television show. At the time, the Los Angeles-based punks were infamous for scabrous rifferama that suggested a return to L.A.’s golden age of hardcore (it’s not coincidence that the band portrayed Black Flag in the Darby Crash biopic What We Do Is Secret, or went on their first tour with the Circle Jerks). The show requested the band play an acoustic version of “Dirty Leaves” off the band’s second, self-titled album – a request that didn’t sit well. “Going ‘unplugged’ was a ‘90s fad that I had a knee-jerk reaction to dislike,” notes guitarist Joby J. Ford. “We wanted to do something a little bit different.” Indeed, The Bronx took it one irreverent step further, donning uncharacteristic sombreros and arranging the song as a mariachi lament.

Celebrating 30 years of Liquid Swords: "GZA, aka the Genius, was the most cerebral MC in the Wu-Tang Clan, as well as perhaps the most acclaimed. His cool, precise flow and intricate, literate rhymes weren't as theatrical as Method Man or Ol' Dirty Bastard, the two biggest commercial stars to spring from the collective. But among hip-hop aficionados, GZA was revered for his flawless technique and lyrical dexterity, and was considered by many to be the best pure rapper in the entire Clan. GZA was born Gary Grice on August 22, 1966, on Staten Island, New York, and shuttled between several other New York boroughs with various relatives during his childhood. He started learning rhymes by the earliest hip-hop MCs while spending time in the Bronx, and returned to Staten Island to share them with his cousins, who later became known as Ol' Dirty Bastard and the RZA. In fact, the three of them first teamed up in the early '80s as part of an obscure group called All in Together Now. Time passed, and GZA landed a recording contract with Cold Chillin', which, unfortunately, was nearing the end of its brilliant run. In 1991, he became the only future Wu-Tang member to release a solo album prior to the Clan's formation, with Words from the Genius.

Keyboardist Hailu Mergia's Wallis Band was at the center of the action. Even repression by a military regime didn't slow him down, as he pivoted to writing and playing instrumental pieces so that lyrics wouldn't give the authorities a pretext for offense. But by the early 1990s Mergia had settled in Washington, D.C. and was no longer performing. His return to the stage in recent years is one of world music's great stories, and his band is a creative force, delivering ancient melodies set to state-of-the-art Ethio-jazz grooves.

Last year, Cohen released her critically-acclaimed record, Earthstar Mountain, a love letter to the Catskills, Cohen’s home since 2018. Earthstar Mountain highlights her interconnectedness of all; in her past, present, future and alternative selves, in her friends––here and gone––and in the mountain that peers through her windows, as blurred, shimmering memories come into focus to produce a collage of echoes and sonic souvenirs. The record also includes collaborations with Sufjan Stevens, Sean Mullins, Oliver Hill, Claire Cottrill (Clairo) and more! Rolling Stone describes Earthstar Mountain as “a love letter to the Catskills, an extraordinary rumination on the cyclical nature of life, and one of the best indie releases of the year."

Where are we headed? What are we consuming, how is it affecting us, and why does everything feel so bad and weird sometimes? These are some of the questions posed on Ruban Nielson's fourth album as Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Sex & Food--a delightfully shapeshifting album that filters these real-deal serious themes through a vibrant sonic lens that spans battered drum-machine funk, doomy and thrashing rock, and pink-hued psychedelic disco. Recorded in a variety of locales from Seoul and Hanoi to Reykjavik, Mexico City, and Auckland, Sex & Food is a practical musical travelogue. Over the last decade, Nielson's established himself as one of the most inventive sonic travelers currently working, and Sex & Food is the most eclectic and expansive Unknown Mortal Orchestra release yet.

That American Football's first record continued to resonate with an ever-expanding coalition of new listeners long after their brief existence is proof of the skillfulness and subtlety with which they could express themselves as undergrads. And that mysterious aura is a lot to live up to. People have had almost twenty years to live alongside that album. And now, in a flash, their body of work doubles. But now, could anyone even count how many different instruments in how many different bands Mike and Nate Kinsella have played? The simple addition of bass goes a long way in rounding out and deepening the overall sound. With an easy-breezy shuffle, they balance Jackson Brown and Steely Dan with rushing, clicky rhythms under sweeping chord progressions woven out of arpeggios and harmonics. Every drum-fill is like a polite interjection, perfectly considered, but disruptive and propulsive nonetheless.

He's even gone so far to purchase a G2 Paul Languedoc and assemble a rig to achieve a similar sound to Trey Anastasio. Any true Phish fan knows that one of Trey's primary influences is Frank Zappa. He famously claimed that Zappa played the best guitar solo he ever witnessed live. Playing this music isn't just a casual lark for Rezak. He has performed and worked with original members of the Zappa band, including Ike Willis, Arthur Barrow, Bobby Martin, Ray White, Chad Whackerman, and Moore. Arthur Barrow even appears on his album, Gateway to the Galaxy. The intricate essence of Zappa's music flows through his veins!

Sunday, May 24 Memorial Day Weekend: One of Marin County's most treasured events, our annual BBQ is a major source of funding for the department. Often called "one of the last great hippie stomps," it draws thousands every Memorial Day weekend for hours of music, dancing, great food, and the chance to reconnect with old friends. Over the course of weeks, the old picnic grounds at the edge of Santos Meadow are transformed into a full-fledged fairground -- complete with a bandshell, children's rides, and massive amounts of barbecued chicken, crepes, beer, and wine. It's an extraordinary community effort, powered entirely by volunteers, and it's the best place to pick up one-of-a-kind MBVFD clothing and accessories.

In addition to his touring, Jerry has set up a non-profit called Nomad Music Foundation that acts as a sort of School of Rock for displaced teenagers in areas of conflict. So far, he has taken guitars and taught lessons in camps in Kabul, Afghanistan, and Sulaymaniyah and Dahuk, both in Kurdish Iraq.

LIVE 105 presents From The Pyre Tour:The Last Dinner Party, originally the Dinner Party, are an English rock band from London, formed in 2021. Although it has only been a year since our debut album, Prelude to Ecstasy, was released, we had been playing many of those songs since our very Þrst rehearsals in the stagnant summer of 2020. Nothing Matters, our Þrst single, has been a feature of every setlist since our Þrst ever gig at the George Tavern in 2021. We have held, nurtured and fed these songs for a long time, and in return they have ßown us to heights and guided us on journeys once totally incomprehensible. While it may seem to an outsider that we have moved quickly on to a second album, this timing felt like a natural progression to us. We're not closing the book or beginning a new 'era', but transforming and shapeshifting, vibrating with the experience and inspiration that these last few years have given us. It is our absolute delight to present our new album From The Pyre to the world

His band, Tom Rigney & Flambeau, specializes in blazing Cajun and Zydeco two-steps, low-down Blues, funky New Orleans grooves, Boogie Woogie piano, and heartbreakingly beautiful ballads and waltzes. Much of the repertoire is composed by Rigney, but they mix in some classics from the Cajun/New Orleans songbook. Along the way you may pick up a trace of Rigney's Irish roots, or echoes of folk music styles-it just makes the musical gumbo that much tastier. Flambeau showcases Rigney's fiery, virtuoso fiddling!

His band Graham Parker and The Rumour, originally his backing band of pub rock all-stars, began their career with their debut Howlin' Wind in 1976 which led to a cult-like following of devoted fans. After delivering Squeezing Out Sparks in 1979, which was a smash with critics and won him a larger audience in the United States, Parker courted a crossover career with solo projects such as 1982's Another Grey Area and 1985's Steady Nerves and he has been touring solo ever since.

country electro post-punk, Punk Rock Golden Oldies, Chip Kinman & Band -from Burbank, CA -Chip Kinman (Dils, Rank and File, Blackbird, Cowboy Nation) released one of 2022's best records and it flew under the radar. The Great Confrontation was heavily influenced by Krautrock and was a double LP fans of Robert Rental and Chris & Cosey would've really appreciated. Kinman's new LP is unlike The Great Confrontation. Chip Kinman is reminiscent of his past body of work. The record occasionally utilizes a drum machine (think Blackbird) and it's the B side that I really like. "Me and Tony," Chip's endearing ode to his late brother and collaborator Tony Kinman, has a 1970s Lou Reed vibe to it (Coney Island Baby not Sally Can't Dance).

She moved to her home state of California in 2014, and began playing music full time, starting the eclectic gypsy jazz inspired band, Bandjango Collectif, a wild around the edges band that mixes French Jazz Manouche, New Orleans Hot Swing, and Eclectic Global Folk, allowing Stella to explore and play in vocal improvisation, different languages, and song interpretation.
