Bay Area based blues musician Aki Kumar is bringing his innovative “Bollywood Blues” style of music to The California in Santa Rosa twice in the next few months.
First, he’ll be the guest artist at Donny Mederos’ Monday Night Pro Jam on Monday, Jan. 5, which will serve to whet one’s whistle for his birthday bash happening on Saturday, March 14.
Born in Mumbai, India, Kumar (full name, Akarsha Kumar) was introduced to a multitude of musical styles at an early age, including rock and roll, Indian classical music, modern pop and Bollywood film scores. These early flavors continued to marinate in Kumar as he immigrated to America in the late ’90s with a more serious line of work in mind, computer science.
Landing in Oklahoma City in 1998, Kumar had an affinity for computers that soon drew him to Silicon Valley, where he attended San Jose State. The move proved fortuitous, as his love and passion for a wide spectrum of music naturally attracted him to the Bay Area blues scene, where he quickly became a fixture.
Speaking by email, Kumar says, “The Bay Area is where I got my musical start, [and] although it is the epicenter of hi-tech innovation, it also hosts exceptional musicians and a lively but somewhat underground blues scene.”
Hardcore blues fans can be a bit inflexible (although, that may be changing), so it was the underground blues scene where a unique artist like Kumar could flourish and hone his sound while still working a grind in the tech industry. This was until a common tale of the blues befell him, as he was laid off from his tech job in the early 2000s.
Yet, rather than return to a fickle line of work, one he had perhaps grown less fond of, Kumar leaned more into his music and joined a popular blues outfit, Tip of the Top, led by Bay Area-based blues guitarist Little Jonny Lawton, known for his work with Little Jonny and The Giants. Around the same time, Kumar hit on inspiration for his brand of music while humming along to a song from the traditional Hindi songbook, and he noted the similarities to a Jimmy Reed song.
He then decided to go all in on music. And so, under the tutelage of Grammy nominated blues harmonica player David Barrett—who has been a featured artist in Mark Hummel’s Blues Harmonica Blowouts alongside James Cotton, Charlie Musselwhite, Kim Wilson and Mark Hummel—Kumar honed his blues harp skills as well as his vocal and frontman chops. This gave local blues maven Bill Bowker cause to say, “I’ve always enjoyed Aki’s playing coupled with his sense of humor,” adding that the combo “makes for fun-filled time.”
Kumar continues to perform all over the area and beyond, as well as teaching harmonica, hosting shows and recording. It’s well worth noting that his 2021 album, Diruba, which was released in partnership with Sony music, has garnered well more than a million downloads in India alone.
Although an artist who has earned fans worldwide and the respect of his peers might perhaps be better served living in a more music rich environment than San Jose, Kumar makes an interesting point, noting that perhaps the more progressive and accepting people of the Bay Area are a great core group of listeners. He says, “It certainly doesn’t hurt that the audience here is very diverse and accepting of such cultural innovations as ‘Bollywood Blues.’”
Locally speaking, Kumar says, “I’ve lived in the Bay Area for well over two decades, but it is only in the past five years that I feel like I have broken into the North Bay, and especially Sonoma County.” It’s been a warm welcome, as he notes that “audiences in Sonoma have been ‘hip’ to the blues for a long, long time, culturally and generationally. They seem to love the fresh spin I offer on it.”
When asked what fans can expect at the Pro Jam, he adds, “I always enjoy performing with Donny Mederos’ band and make it a point to never send them material ahead of time, which keeps things interesting for us on stage.”

It’s that time of year when critics look back and attempt to encapsulate an entire year’s worth of productions into one easily read list of the “best of” the year. Why? Because it gives us something to do during the slow period between the close of the holiday shows and the onslaught of productions in the New Year.
We’re kidding. Mostly.
The end of the year is a time for reflection by many, and critics are no different. We take pleasure in remembering and reporting on the good work we’ve seen produced locally. It’s our way of saying thanks to the community for the work they do and for continuing to invite and welcome us into their theatrical homes.
Here, in alphabetical order, are the Top Torn Tickets for the best and/or most interesting theater produced in Sonoma and Napa counties in 2025, as determined by Beulah Vega (BV), Caitlin Strom-Martin (CSM) and Harry Duke (HD):
As You Like It – Napa Valley College – A joyous celebration of diversity and a giant thumb in the eye to those who have a problem with that. HD
Bootycandy – Left Edge Theatre – A hilarious and transgressive ensemble piece. LET still reigns as the North Bay theater company that actively produces confrontational and gutsy shows. CSM
The Bridges of Madison County – Raven Players – Usually, I would run away from a musical romance like a Hallmark heroine from her big-city fiancé, but I liked this production. The two leads rose above the trite script and the lackluster songs and delivered outstanding performances. BV
Featherbaby – Spreckels Theatre Company – Maybe the greatest talking bird play ever written. HD
Gary, A Sequel to Titus Andronicus – Left Edge Theatre – An absolutely outrageous theatrical piece. Ballsy in every sense of the word. HD
The Importance of Being Earnest – 6th Street Playhouse – Proof that no gimmicks are necessary to get audiences to appreciate this hilarious Oscar Wilde classic. HD
Meet Me at Dawn – Mercury Theater – Raw and grounded performances and a haunting sound design made this one of the most emotionally moving shows of the year. CSM
A very impressive opening entry into full productions by the newest North Bay theater company. HD
Othello – Jacobethan Theatre Workshop – Towering performances and simple outdoor staging combined for Shakespeare as it’s meant to be done and done well. HD
The Pirates of Penzance – 6th Street Playhouse – Charming performances, colorful stagecraft and a top-notch orchestra brought the Gilbert & Sullivan classic energetically to life. HD
The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui – Mercury Theater – An astounding, unforgettable lead performance anchored this Bertolt Brecht cautionary tale. CSM
Revenge of the Rebobs! – Lucky Penny – In another life, I’m a horror writer, and there is nothing I love more than campy cryptid horror (most of my work falls into that category), so I was thrilled to see the elusive Rebobs take the stage. More horror plays (with or without the camp), please. BV
Ride the Cyclone – SRJC Theatre Arts – An absolute showcase for the young artists involved in all aspects of this production and the facility local taxpayers funded. HD
A polished, professional-level production and hands down my favorite show of the year. If the cast is any indication, the kids are alright, giving me hope for the future of theater. BV
The North Bay is an incredibly supportive community for the performing arts. Thanks also to the audiences for continuing to show up.
Santa Rosa
The relationship between language and visual art has shifted from ancient hieroglyphics to the bold commercialism of Pop Art, yet the interplay remains a vital frontier for modern creators. And the Santa Rosa Arts Center explores this intersection in its Small Works exhibition, “Words and Letters,” featuring a diverse range of disciplines, including sculpture, ceramics and photography. By examining how text is wedded to the canvas, the show highlights how artists continue to push the boundaries of communication. Running concurrently with the annual Members Show, the exhibition offers a comprehensive look at the region’s creative output.
A reception will commence at 5pm, Friday, Jan. 2, at the Santa Rosa Arts Center, 312 South A St., santarosaartscenter.org.
Healdsburg
Geologist and environmental scientist Gen Zorich brings a technical rigor to the ephemeral in her latest collection of oil paintings, “In the Clouds.” The works examine the shifting cloudscapes of Sonoma County, treating these atmospheric forms as both aesthetic subjects and indicators of a changing climate. Zorich’s debut as a featured artist at the Upstairs Art Gallery is paired with Ron Sumner’s “Yosemite” in the Stairway Small Works Showcase. While Zorich focuses on the transformative power of the sky, Sumner’s watercolors ground the exhibition in the rugged permanence of the Sierra Nevada, capturing the kinetic energy of landmarks like Vernal Falls.
A reception will be held from 3:30–5:30pm, Saturday, Jan. 3, at the Upstairs Art Gallery, 306 Center St., Healdsburg. upstairsartgallery.net.
Novato
The unlikely intersection of the Venezuelan plains and the Appalachian mountains find common ground in the musical duo of Larry & Joe. Larry Bellorín, a legend of Llanera music forced into exile from Venezuela, and Joe Troop, a Grammy-nominated bluegrass artist, have forged a “Latingrass” fusion that defies easy categorization. Their performances are as much about storytelling as they are about technical mastery, blending polyrhythmic Venezuelan traditions with high-lonesome bluegrass roots. In their matinee performance at HopMonk Tavern in Novato, the two offer an intimate look at how social movements and musical inheritances can coalesce into a vibrant, bilingual celebration of resilience.
4pm, Saturday, Jan. 3, HopMonk Tavern, 224 Vintage Way, Novato, $20–$30. hopmonk.com.
Bolinas
The Bolinas Museum opens its 2026 season by grounding the ethereal in the physical through two concurrent exhibitions. In “Pure Passage,” Oakland-based artist Soleé Darrell utilizes a unique process of applying powdered and liquid dyes to silk velvet, a technique born from dream work and spiritual channeling that results in high-dimension, saturated abstractions. Meanwhile, the group show, “Of Earth: Telluric Mediums,” examines the planet as a literal source of creation. Featuring works in clay, adobe and soil by artists including JB Blunk and Joanna Keane Lopez, the exhibition invites sensory connection to the ground beneath us. Together, the shows bridge the gap between intuitive inner worlds and the raw materiality of the landscape.
An opening reception runs from 2–4pm, Saturday, Jan. 17, at the Bolinas Museum, 48 Wharf Rd. bolinasmuseum.org.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Before major eruptions, volcanoes may emit harmonic tremors. Lasting for hours or days, they are signals that pressure is building. A similar phenomenon is simmering in your sphere, Aries. Be alert. What rhythmic clues are vibrating through your system? What pressure is mounting that could eventually erupt? I’m not saying you should interpret them with a worried mind. In fact, they are offering you valuable intelligence about what needs to be released. You can either ignore them and let the eruption surprise you, or you can pay attention and arrange for controlled venting.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your heartbeat isn’t regular like a metronome, but slightly irregular. The phenomenon is called heart rate variability and is a sign of health. A perfectly regular heartbeat is actually a warning sign. Your heart knows something your mind might not believe: Perfect consistency is pathological. Variation is vitality. The rhythm of life includes the beautiful irregularity of a system that’s alive enough to respond and adapt. Keep these truths uppermost in mind during 2026, Taurus. You will thrive on changeability and fluctuation.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The Greenland shark waits for animals to fall asleep, then eats them while they’re unconscious. Since it’s too slow to chase anything, it has evolved a patient approach to hunting. It acts on the understanding that everything eventually lets its guard down. I suggest you cultivate similar patience in 2026, Gemini. There’s no need to rush toward what you want. Position yourself correctly, and wait for moments of opportunity. You’re playing a long game.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Atmospheric rivers are massive moisture highways in the sky. Meteorologists have been documenting newly identified patterns in how these marvels work. They’ve learned that tiny changes in ocean temperature can redirect thousands of miles of incoming rain. This will be an excellent metaphor for you in 2026, dear Cancerian. You’ll be in atmospheric-river mode. Small shifts in perspective and slight recalibrations of intention will send your momentum flowing in different and better directions. No drama required. Simple micro-adjustments will reroute larger currents. Attend devotedly and zestfully to the subtleties.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Certain fungi can break down pollutants like pesticides and plastics into less toxic substances. These mushrooms digest what’s considered indigestible, transforming poison into nutrients. I suspect you will have a metaphorically comparable capacity in 2026, dear Leo: a superpower that enables you to metabolize blight and taint. I predict you will exult as you eliminate stuff that’s useless and harmful. Please indulge your unusual talent to the max.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The U.S. Library of Congress adds 60,000 items to its collection every week but only catalogs a fraction of them immediately. So vast amounts of knowledge sit there, acquired but not yet processed, waiting for librarians to create the finding aids that make them accessible. You’re in a similar situation, Virgo. You’ve accumulated extraordinary amounts of information, experience and skill. But how much of it is cataloged? How much is accessible when you need it? In the coming months, I hope you won’t acquire more. Instead, you will spend time with your archives and process what you have already gathered. What do you know that you’ve forgotten you know? What experiences hold wisdom you’ve never extracted?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Vault doors often require two keys, turned simultaneously, to open. Why? Such a practice furthers risk reduction and fraud prevention. Let’s make this a potent metaphor for you in 2026, Libra. It will symbolize cooperation and balance as well as an enhancement of your security. The treasures you’ll be trying to access will require dual input. One key is yours: intellect, agility, charm, initiative. The second must come from a collaborator, mentor, friend, an unexpected stranger or even a spirit guide. Just assume that the vault won’t open through brilliance alone. It will require synchronization.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In December 1968, U.S. astronaut Bill Anders was orbiting the moon inside the Apollo 8 spacecraft. He snapped a photo that showed the Earth as a blue-and-white sphere rising over the gray lunar surface against the blackness of space. This iconic image helped fuel the environmental movement and transformed how humans visualized their home. You’re at a comparable pivot, Scorpio. In 2026, you will see familiar situations from new angles, and this will reorganize your understanding of how life works. That’s a good thing. Be alert for watershed moments that bring revolutionary blessings.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland is made of 40,000 interlocking basalt columns formed when ancient lava cooled and contracted. Legend says a giant built it as a bridge to Scotland. Both stories are true, one geologically and the other mythologically. Your life in the coming months will remind you that multiple explanations can coexist without canceling each other. The scientific story of lava cooling doesn’t make the giant story less meaningful. The giant story doesn’t make the geology less accurate. Conclusion: You don’t have to choose between competing narratives about your life as if only one can be true. What if both are? The practical explanation and mythic explanation describe the same phenomenon from different angles. You can be both the cooling lava and the giant building the bridge.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. He helped ensure its core technologies were released to the world without patents or royalties. Universal, open access mattered more to him than personal profit. That single decision was a profound gift to the world. Billions benefited. In his generous spirit, dear Capricorn, I’ll ask whether there are any ideas, knowledge or resources you’re holding in reserve that could multiply through sharing. In 2026, I invite you to be like Berners-Lee: a magnanimous strategist who understands that things may gain value through distribution, not restriction. Your intelligence will be worth more unleashed than protected. Your innovations will need the crowd to fulfill their purpose.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the myths of Mali’s Dogon people, Nommo is an amphibious, telepathic being who brought language, rhythm and balance to Earth—and then departed. If things fall out of harmony, it’s believed, Nommo will return, speaking the lost syllables that realign the cosmos. You’re a bit like Nommo these days, Aquarius. Parts of your world may be in disarray, and your sacred task is to listen for the lost syllables. What’s missing in the dialogue? What notes aren’t being sung? If you seek gently and speak truly, restoration will follow.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The longest chess game theoretically possible is 5,949 moves, but most games end in under 40. Chess masters don’t win by seeing every possibility. Instead, they recognize patterns and anticipate which paths are worth exploring. Let’s apply this as a useful metaphor, Pisces. In 2016, it’s crucial that you don’t waste energy by considering improbable scenarios that will never materialize. You should be determined not to miss emerging themes because you’re too busy calculating unlikely variations. According to my prognosis, you don’t need to see further; you need to see more precisely and accurately. The chess master’s advantage isn’t exhaustive analysis; it’s knowing what to ignore. Ninety percent of your options don’t matter. Ten percent do.
New Year’s Eve, 1999. It was a party to remember, and a quarter century later, it still haunts me.
I was friends with a quirky, brilliant entrepreneur who had invented something few understood at all—the first internet search engine. The party celebrated not only the coming new year, but also a quantum breakthrough in computer technology.
There were perhaps a hundred people at the party, chatting, mingling, eating from a lavish buffet and drinking from an open bar. They were mostly young—at 47, I was clearly one of the elders. But there was one person who stood out among the guests. Not because of what she did, but because of what she did not do. She did not talk to anyone. She did not eat or drink anything. She sat in a chair against the back wall, looking hopelessly out of place among the vibrant crowd.
I had never seen her before. But I could not help but wonder who she was and why she was there. Finally, I asked my friend if he knew her. “That’s my wife’s sister,” he said. “She’s kind of weird.”
A few minutes later, I happened to be talking to my friend’s wife, and mentioned that her sister did not seem to be having a very good time. “Oh, she’s a hermit,” she replied. “She lives in New York. She doesn’t do anything. Never talks to anyone, never sees anyone. She’s been like that for years. I can’t believe she even showed up for the party.”
I looked at the woman, sitting in the same chair in the same location. I didn’t know very many people at the party, and obviously neither did she. I decided to go talk to her.
I walked over to where she was sitting. “Hello,” I said. She looked away and ignored me. “I hear you came here from New York,” I persisted.
“Yes,” she replied, looking away.
“I used to live in New York,” I replied.
No response. By now, I felt completely uncomfortable.
“Take care,” I said, and walked away.
I never saw her in person again. Several decades later, when she became very well known, I was completely shocked. And that was my party with Ghislaine Maxwell.
Daniel Shiner is a bookseller in Mill Valley.
I grew up in a conservative Republican Catholic family in the 1950s. The GOP at that time still had some integrity, moderation and even intellectual merit. That was then.
This is now. The party stands for racial hatred and exclusion, concentration of wealth in the hands of oligarchs, commercial exploitation of the natural environment and blind plunder. Oh, plus it’s now a cult, not a party of broad interests.
There is only one political party that is more corrupt, less in tune with the interests of ordinary Americans, less involved in proposing and executing solutions to actual problems, and less effective at conducting its own affairs.
That is the Democratic Party.
There is only one path forward, which is defeat of every Republican and Democratic incumbent, and replacement of them by people who reflect a new, more enlightened citizenry. Time to take the gloves off.

That was the year that was,” sang Tom Lehrer—a line that now reads less like commentary than accounting. Lehrer, who died in 2025, spent his career paying close attention to how systems behave under pressure. It’s a useful posture for looking back at a year in Sonoma and Napa counties where culture, policy and daily life continued to intersect in public view.
The North Bay Bohemian’s 2025 reflects a year of persistence. Art continued. Institutions evolved. And people kept showing up.
January opened with the performing arts returning to regular operation. “Lights Up: North Bay Theater Companies Raise Curtains on 2025” surveyed stages across the region reopening seasons, announcing casts and committing to schedules. The emphasis was practical: rehearsal space secured, tickets on sale, shows moving forward.
February brought national policy closer to home. “Deportation on the Menu” followed the effects of immigration enforcement through Wine Country kitchens, farms and hotels, tracing how labor shortages altered daily operations and strained businesses built on invisible work. The reporting grounded the issue in lived consequences rather than rhetoric.
Water emerged as a central concern that same month. “Historic Pact Signed Re: SoCo’s Main Water Source” documented an agreement shaping the future of the Russian River watershed. The story focused on negotiations, allocations and long-term planning, outlining decisions that will affect the region for decades.
Spring coverage turned toward craft and process. “The Art of Making” examined a documentary series centered on artisans and builders, following the steps of work done by hand. The piece stayed close to the materials and methods, showing how objects are made and why those skills continue to matter.
In May, the paper slowed its pace. “The Keeper” offered a personal account of family history and survival, placing memory and inheritance alongside the year’s larger civic stories. The piece stood on its own, rooted in experience rather than argument.
Summer expanded the map. “Summertime and the Living Is Easy” tracked free outdoor movie nights held in parks, airports and public spaces across Sonoma County. Screens went up. People brought chairs. The events drew neighbors who might not otherwise share a room.
July brought music into focus. Coverage of “Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven at Petaluma Music Festival” traced the band’s long career and its continued draw, noting a crowd that spanned generations. The reporting stayed with the facts: the set list, the turnout, the staying power.
That same month, “Party at the Mall” documented Slick Bridge’s transformation of a vacant shopping center into a working arts space. Studios replaced storefronts. Artists moved in. The piece followed how the project took shape and who made it happen.
August closed the summer with action. “Activists Fast for Sanctuary” reported on a hunger strike undertaken in support of immigrant protections, detailing the participants, their demands and the public response. The story stayed with the facts of the protest and its stakes.
Taken together, the North Bay Bohemian’s coverage of 2025 records a year shaped by action and adjustment across the region. Cultural life continued. Public decisions carried weight. People responded in visible ways.
That was the year that was.
The opening of the Talking Heads 1984 concert film, Stop Making Sense—a new and improved version of which plays Jan. 10 at Napa’s Uptown Theatre, with a live Q&A with cofounder Jerry Harrison—finds David Byrne on a bare stage performing “Psycho Killer” with an acoustic guitar.
His sole accompaniment is what appears to be a portable cassette player, which actually contains a pre-programmed Roland TR-808 drum machine backing track.
Opening with “Psycho Killer” made sense. With its new-wave sound and unsettling first-person lyric, the 1977 single was the group’s first to break into the United States’ top 100. Two decades later, it was included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s list of the “500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.” And today, it is by far the band’s most-streamed track on Spotify. There’s also a newly-released video for “Psycho Killer” featuring a new visualizer created by the album’s art director, Tibor Kalman.
But for all its success, the song’s history includes one dark and jarring moment. Just a year after its release, the band was performing it during a free concert at Berkeley Quad when the context of the song’s performance changed. Word began to spread that San Francisco’s Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk had been assassinated just miles away at city hall.
This convergence of events—one joyful, one tragic—showed how a performance could exist within a larger, living context. But the group’s real evolution was still to come.
The Jonathan Demme-directed Stop Making Sense perfectly embodies those changes. Over the course of the film, band members Byrne, guitarist Harrison, bassist Tina Weymouth and drummer Chris Frantz are gradually joined by five additional musicians, including the legendary keyboardist Bernie Worrell. This expanded lineup, which had been out on the road playing a lot of festivals, allowed the group to bring to life the layered, funky and rhythmic sound of their recent Remain in Light and Speaking in Tongues albums.
“I think one of the reasons the film has lasted so long is that it looks like it could have been done in the 1930s,” Harrison said in an early September interview. “It’s normal stage lights, the slide projections; there’s nothing from the ’80s—other than maybe the clothes we were wearing and the instruments that were available at that time. And the Talking Heads music has really stood the test of time. It doesn’t feel dated.”
Harrison was also involved in the film’s sound mixing. “Mixing it and being able to have that spatial placement was really sort of eye opening, so to speak, as well as ear opening,” the guitarist said. “And the new scan, I think, is really beautiful, because we were able to find the original negative and get it cleaned and scanned it in 4k. It really is just beautiful looking.”
For those who want to hear live versions of songs like “Psycho Killer” in their stripped down formative stages, Rhino Records recently reissued the album Talking Heads, Live on Tour ’78.
Harrison still has fond memories of that era.
“There were all of these industrial spaces for rent,” he said. “And so musicians, painters and dancers all intermingled in the downtown New York scene. Most of the buildings had very rudimentary fixtures, and a lot of times not enough heat, but there was a lot of space. It was great; you’d be walking down the street and running into everyone from Robert Rauschenberg to Merce Cunningham to Philip Glass to fellow members of the CBGB scene.”
Harrison is also very enthusiastic about how the group’s sound changed over the course of its 16-year lifespan.
“There’s something great about those live performances,” Harrison said. “I’ve been trying to get Rhino to at some point put out an album of all the versions of ‘Psycho Killer’ that we did live. Because there’s so many guitar parts that David and I are playing that mutate over time more than in other songs. It’s really interesting how much things change.”
The Talking Heads’ Jerry Harrison will host ‘Stop Making Sense’ at 8pm, Saturday, Jan. 10 at Uptown Theatre, 1350 Third Street, Napa. More info at uptowntheatrenapa.com.
Nina Schmidt’s piece on Norm Solomon’s book, The Blue Road to Trump Hell, underscores a lesson in being 10 or 15 years too late, with due respect for a terrific book. A really, really better world will begin with removal of the incumbents of both parties; new limits on how long elected officials can serve, including an age limit; and new rules about how leaders are elected in both houses of Congress, with meritocracy replacing seniority.
The Trump disaster is going to take decades to reverse. Congress can either be an impediment or an agent for progress in the long road back to respectability, accountability and credibility. Right now, it is a major roadblock. And so is the electorate.

Regarding the film article, “See/Say: Communication via Cinema,” Dec. 10, 2025—elegant, eloquent reasoning, and deeply compassionate into the bargain. A powerful reminder and also a gentle suggestion. Thank you for this, Joe Mulcaire. Please write more.
