.May 22: Dustbowl Road at Clement and Mendocino Ave.

Within days of the first, wildly successful Hootenanny at the North Bay Film and Art Collective, event organizers celebrated with our modern version of the old-time vaudeville afterglow. In other words, they started a Facebook page. It soon emerged that there was more than memorializing at hand, though, because this weekend’s second installment, titled Dustbowl Road, features over two dozen bands spread out over just five hours. At a block party including Video Droid, the Last Record Store, Community Market and Gaia’s Garden, there’s the music of Waters, J.D. Limelight, Skiffle Symphony, the Easy Leaves and truckloads more; workshops and jams continue throughout the day until the afterparty at the North Bay Film and Art Collective that night at 6:30. Grab your banjo and shuck on down on Saturday, May 22, at Clement and Mendocino Ave., Santa Rosa. Noon-5pm. Free. 707.525.1963.
