Freight & Salvage
HIP-HOP DANCE FLOOR / STANDING AREA OPEN KRS-One is believed to have written the most rhymes in hip-hop’s history.

Teaching everything from self-creation to stopping violence; from vegetarianism to transcendental meditation, from the creation of Hip Hop Appreciation Week (every third week in May), to establishing hip-hop as an international culture at the United Nations (2001), KRS-One has single-handedly held the history and original arts of hip-hop together now for over two decades.

Fully Seated @ Rio Theatre: I’ll go back to the source.” Guthrie famously had the words “This machine kills fascists” printed on his guitar, and on several of the songs on Snider’s new album, Cash Cabin Sessions, Vol. 3, he squarely aims his guitar at the creeping fascism he sees in America. He had been wanting to make a political record since 2016, and although only half the songs lean in that direction, there is one constant throughout the album: a man, his guitar, and the truth.

Robert Plant’s Saving Grace ft Suzi Dian, Rosie Flores

Fox Theater Oakland
Roar In The Fall: Though Robert Plant is, literally and figuratively, the biggest name on the cover art for Saving Grace, he would be the first to say that the album is very much a group effort, with its title also serving as this new band’s moniker. The group members were drawn together by a shared love of roots music both vintage and modern–of blues, folk, gospel, country and those tantalizing sounds that lay in between. Despite Plant’s iconic status as an artist since his days with Led Zeppelin, Saving Grace managed to start out in 2019, casually and somewhat discreetly, as a local project. The players had been working collaboratively for barely a year, even serving as an unheralded opening act on a handful of dates with Fairport Convention when the pandemic intervened and any formal plans to tour or release music were temporarily shelved. That turned out to be less setback than serendipity. It allowed Saving Grace time…
