Homecoming show for Eric Lindell & The Westside Summer League, after a fun, music-filled field trip to New Orleans, Louisiana! California-born, New Orleans-bred Eric Lindell effortlessly combines West Coast rock, Louisiana R&B, Chicago blues, Memphis soul and honky-tonk country to create a rootsy, infectious Americana sound. His instantly memorable original songs, along with his guitar, harmonica and bass playing, raspy soul vocals and off-the-cuff performance style, have built him a loyal fan base across the country.

Placeholder (NorCal Fusionviolence), Everything Falls Into Place, Lucky Star and Lane Division at the Phoenix!

Zak Fennie & Friends Band will be performing a free show at The Garden By Tannery Bend (1500 1st St. Suite 150) at 9 p.m. Zak Fennie is a well-known local singer-songwriter who has finally put together a full band of local stalwarts. Expect a great night of emo-inspired heavy rock tunes. Local favorites eggcorn will also be performing their brand of signature chamber music indie pop.

Appearing live at the Little Saint in Healdsburg! Sam Weber is a Portland-based songwriter whose reputation precedes him. If you haven’t seen him in your town on one of his many extended tours, you might have seen his name on marquees beside Bahamas and Feist, or in liner notes as a songwriter on the next Madison Cunningham record. His songcraft is only rivaled by his musicianship, both of which are disciplined enough to stun and feel effortless.

Grammy nominated artists Larkin Poe will bring their American roots music, fused with contemporary blues and rock influences, to the Uptown Theater as a part of BottleRock AfterDark. Tickets range between $60.90 – $78.95. Ages 12+ are welcome. 

Killer Fish, Casino Black Coffee, Lean-To and Strep at the Phoenix!

Rilo Kiley are indie rock darlings of the 2000s era led by former child actress Jenny Lewis. They bring an infectious brand of punk-infused indie rock that will worm its way into your head all the way down to your toes. They will remind audiences of artists such as Liz Phair, The Shins or Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Rilo Kiley took a nearly 15-year hiatus before reuniting in 2025. I was able to catch them at the Greek in Berkeley last summer. It was my first time catching the band live and the wait was more than worth it. I can’t wait to see them again and this time at the much smaller and more intimate Uptown Theatre! This show is getting close to selling out, so make sure you pick up your tickets now! Remaining tickets will run between $89 – $101.

Saturday, May 23, will bring BØRNS to the Uptown. I wasn’t familiar with the artist’s name, but once I turned on his music I immediately recognized his brand of danceable singer-songwriter style indie pop. I took a walk with BØRNS in my earbuds and I couldn’t help but start dancing. It’s hugely infectious, which explains why he gets so much airplay on local radio stations and pops up in a large number of major commercials. Tickets are running between $55 – $89.

Originally hailing from the Z area of the planet Peelander, Peelander-Z is a Japanese-American punk rock band and they’re coming to Santa Rosa to save your day! They’ll be performing with area locals Redwood Chrome, Big Tractor and Slagathor at the Arlene Francis Center!
