I just got back from closing weekend of Dead and Co at the Sphere. My daughter drove to Vegas to join me, she is now on the bus. It is a joy sharing music that you love with your kid. Great shows.

By the way, I posted some links under the way-too-unimaginative discussion name of “livestream concerts”, providing digital membership info for the San Francisco Opera and a couple major jazz venues. If you have any go-to sites for streaming live music (livestream or On Demand), please add them there! The jazz sites both offer a monthly option, so you can check them out for under $10. The operas are $28 each. Jazz at the Lincoln Center also offers lots of educational material.
It’s been a typical month for us on the concert scene, with some jazz, trad, & classical: Kevin Sun Quartet (jazz) 4-21-25 Big Easy, Petaluma Alasdair Fraser & San Francisco Scottish Fiddlers (traditional Scottish fiddling) 4-27-25 Jackson Theater, Santa Rosa Santa Rosa Symphony, Orion Weiss, Young Women’s Chorus of San Francisco (Gershwin Piano Concerto & Holst’s The Planets) 5-4-25 SSU The Price Sisters (bluegrass) 5-6-25 house concert, Petaluma Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band (jazz) 5-9-25 SSU (SSU = Sonoma State University) |
Steve Earle - Last Night -Sunday 7/6/2025 - Ludlow Garage - Cincinnati, OH Solo Acoustic Show. Fantastic! I've seen Steve Earle at least 10 times over the last 25+ years, including his solo acoustic set at this same venue a year ago. That show a year ago was fantastic, and somehow he managed to top it this time around. The guy is 70 years old. I don't know how he does it. I don't know too many artist that continue to improve as they age, but Steve Earle is definitely still on his game and is maybe even better today than ever. Highly recommended. |
