Returning to the Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds on Saturday, August 6, the Petaluma Music Festival once again brings an enormous array of talent to three stages for a fun-filled day of music that benefits music programs in Petaluma’s public elementary and secondary schools. This year’s festival boasts its biggest lineup to date with an incredible roster of local and regional musicians.
Headlining the festival is prominent California songwriter Jackie Greene, best known as a former member of the Black Crowes, as one half of the Skinny Singers duo and for his own prolific solo output. Greene is a North Bay favorite, often selling out weeklong residencies at venues like Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley and playing alongside legends like Phil Lesh at Terrapin Crossroads in San Rafael.
Speaking of North Bay favorites, masterful guitarist and songwriter Steve Kimock will also play the Petaluma Music Festival, and he’s bringing friends. Best known for founding ’80s jazz rock fusion band Zero and now living in Sebastopol, Kimock this year unveiled his latest solo album, Last Danger of Frost, an experimental blend of Eastern and Western melodies. He’s also recently debuted his latest collaboration, KIMOCK, a duo with his son John.
Also on the bill for the Petaluma Music Festival are Bay Area veterans the Mother Hips, David Nelson Band, Moonalice and Mark Karan. The festival fills out the rest of its lineup with Northern California musicians David Luning, Kingsborough, Highway Poets, the Sam Chase, Joy & Madness, Saffell, MoeTar, the Melt and the Grain.
