Recommendation #3
Rancho Nicasio

Lydia Pense & Cold Blood will perform this Saturday at Rancho Nicasio.

Known as the Queen of Bay Area Rhythm & Blues, Lydia Pense has been delighting audiences with her unique brand of Funk and Blues for over 50 years. Cold Blood band members are all veteran Bay Area musicians who have played with many great artists including Elvin Bishop, The Starship, Boz Scaggs, Albert Collins and more. Of course there is Lydia who still has the chops with the patina of a seasoned veteran who's done and seen it all. Together she and the band continue to twist together R&B, (both Old School and New School); into something that doesn't have a label... On any given night, Lydia Pense and Cold Blood power through their historic essentials, like "You Got Me Hummin'," "I Just Want To Make Love To You," "I'm A Good Woman," and "Down to the Bone."

Marin Theatre Company

Pulitzer Prize winner Suzan-Lori Parks' Sally & Tom hits the stage at Marin Theatre Company this month. Don't miss this bold and brilliant backstage look into who gets to tell the stories of our past—a play The New York Times called “subtle, clever and human."

Blending heart, humor, and sharp insight, Parks goes behind the scenes as a fictional theatre company tries to mount a play about the relationship between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings. As the playwright and director—who are also romantic partners—wrestle with how to depict this fraught history onstage, audiences get a look at what happens when uncomfortable truths are confronted in art and in life.

This original story of riches to rags reveals all of life’s questions can be answered watching the world from behind a bar.

She leaves her posh life to learn bartending under Claire Jordan, a legendary bartender with a failing bar called The Near Miss. The two forge an unlikely friendship to confront the unfair systems affecting their lives.
