Tom Rigney & Flambeau

Oct. 14, 2018

Cajun, Zydeco, and much much more!

Our 27^th season kicks off with a return visit from Tom Rigney & Flambeau.

Tom Rigney and Flambeau will tear the roof off anyplace that has one. Flambeau specializes in fiery Cajun and zydeco two-steps, low-down blues, funky New Orleans grooves, and heartbreakingly beautiful ballads and waltzes–a musical gumbo of tasty global sounds stirred together with Rigney’s virtuosic talent, charismatic stage presence, and enough high energy to lift an audience to its feet.

On Track, and Smokin’

This concert has been postponed until further notice.

Roundin’ the bend for a much anticipated return, California Zephyr is back with fancy pickin’, sterling harmonies, great songwriting, and infectious humor!

“This is the kind of band you want to go down to the river and stomp frogs with!”

California Zephyr

On Track, and Smokin’

Apr. 15, 2018

Back by popular demand, we extend our season to bring back local favorites California Zephyr to wrap up Season 26.

This is a rare Modesto appearance by the band that features native sons Alan Arnopole and Steve Ewert.  The show, entitled “Roots and Branches,” highlights music from all phases of the group’s storied 43-year career. It coincides with the reissue of their inaugural albums California Zephyr and In The Saddle (now on CD for the first time!).

Join them for a rollicking afternoon of great harmony, solid musicianship, and masterful song craft.  As comedian Pat Paulsen exclaimed upon the band’s performance on the original “Gong Show”:

“This is the kind of band you want to go down to the river and stomp frogs with!”
