Among the sad developments surrounding the closing of the New College of California and its Santa Rosa campus was the loss of its music venue, used for years as a home for touring folk artists, local Americana favorites and the occasional theatrical production. The lovely brick room in Railroad Square lives again, however, as the North Bay Film and Art Collective, an all-ages space supported by the Arlene Francis Foundation presenting music of all styles. This Monday welcomes Church, a touring band from Portland featuring “Triste Sin” Richard Laws, known around these parts as an amazing bassist. Locals Low-Five, Moggs and Not to Reason Why open the show on Monday, Oct. 12, at the North Bay Film and Art Collective. 99 Sixth St., Santa Rosa. 6pm. $7. www.myspace.com/fac.Gabe Meline
