Calling all Pink Floyd flans! The Gilmore Project is performing two shows this Wednesday and Thursday at Sweetwater.
The Gilmour Project is a 5-piece, all-star ensemble that flips the ‘Tribute Band’ script on its head, with exploratory performances of iconic and deep cut Pink Floyd classics, David Gilmour-centric and solo compositions, and pulling other surprise classic rock masterpieces out of their hats.
Starting from the heart of Pink Floyd’s musical structure, these superstars allow each other to soar in collaborative improvisation to deeply express the soul of this profound music. These lifelong, stadium musicians add a new, authentic edge to the virtuosic impact of the compositions, better than a mere tribute band. Floyd fanatics will enjoy a deep dive into a catalogue of hits, deep tracks and covers conjoined to overwhelming Pink Floyd reverie.

Wreckless Strangers return to Sweetwater this Saturday to celebrate the release of their forthcoming album, Dirty Souls. Alt-gypsy-rock troubadours Beso Negro will open the show, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening of music and fun.
The six-song collection is the Bay Area sextet’s most raw and visceral effort to date, a modern take on the arena rock of the ‘70s and ‘80s upon which the band members’ earliest musical seeds were sown. The songwriting is among the most intimate and personal to date, exploring themes of relationships, loss, empowerment, and perseverance. Co-lead singers Amber Morris and David Noble function as a single organism, bringing the songs to life with bluesy grit, soul, and humanity bolstered by rock-solid, road-hewn grooves.

Westerly is the headliner at HopMonk Novato this Friday.
This formidable six piece band writes about spirituality, love, and the state of the world. Though they integrate roots influences, the band is expressly not a retrospective. Their sound brings contemporary flourishes that often give nod to the Americana, Rock, and other various forms of Roots Music that have characterized the West Coast musical landscape. Most recently the band is promoting their new singles "They Will Test You", "This Weapon", and "Give Me A Song". The band has shared stages with the likes of guitar virtuoso Grace Bowers and Latin Music Legends Ozomatli as well as being featured extensively on Bay Area radio stations including KPFA, KALW, and KALX.

Marin Theatre Company (MTC) kicks off 2026 with Anton Chekhov's classic, The Cherry Orchard (January 29 - February 22).
American Conservatory Theater Artistic Director Emerita Carey Perloff, who helmed Marin Theatre’s wildly successful production of “Waste” last season, returns to direct the Russian playwright’s final work. Set at the turn of the 20th century, an aristocratic matriarch returns home to her family’s estate, which has fallen into debt. The house and beautiful cherry orchard are set to be auctioned off while the family resists solutions, desperate to preserve their way of life and ignore the changing times.
Director Perloff leads a stellar cast of Bay Area theatre veterans including Lance Gardner, Liz Mbong Sklar, Anthony Fusco, Danny Scheie, Leontyne Mbele-, Jomar Tagatac, Howard Swain, Joseph Patrick O’Malley, Rosie Hallett, and Anna Takayo, alongside New York actors Molly Ranson and Joel Morel.
