It’s rare that a musician falls so in love—or addicted, as the case may be—with a city that he creates a whole album about said city. But if that city is San Francisco and if that musician is Chuck Prophet, it makes a little more sense. Prophet has, as he describes it, been chasing the San Francisco dragon his whole life. Many of the songs on his San Francisco—themed album Temple Beautiful have political underpinnings, but this is nothing new for Prophet. As a singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer, the California native is well loved locally, meaning his free concert this week at the Healdsburg Plaza will probably fill up quickly. With any luck, he’ll play “After the Rain,” with its reference to the Russian River, on Tuesday, Aug. 28, at the Healdsburg Plaza Bandstand. Healdsburg Avenue and Matheson Street, Healdsburg. Free. 6pm. 707.431.3300.
