We hit a high note in February
With our management client Eliane Elias winning a Grammy for Best Latin Jazz Album. Speaking of albums Royal Jelly Jive finished recording theirs at Prairie Sun Studios and held a listening party at the recording studio. Kudos to RJJ as well on playing BottleRock this May.
Early activates before our Somo Concert Series have included an El Radio Fantastique show at The Mystic & an upcoming Frankie Boots & The Sam Chase (album release show) @ The Phoenix in Petaluma May 14. We were also proud to have produced the 2-day showcase for the Next Level Conference in conjunction with Creative Sonoma and our own Josh Windmiller’s Northbay Hootenanny! Another NB Hootenanny is the upcoming Railroad Square Music Festival in Santa Rosa on June 5th, and the music of Petaluma’s The Rivertown Revival July 16. Additionally we launched our merchandise service arm designing and providing merchandise services for Yanni’s 2016 tour!
Here is our 2016 Somo Concerts lineup!
This year’s festivities kick off with the Seva Foundation’s 80th birthday bash benefit for the legendary Wavy Gravy on May 22nd with two stages of music featuring progressive blue grassers Yonder Mountain String Band, three-time Grammy winner Steve Earl, San Francisco psychedelic rockers New Riders of the Purple Sage, Dead Winter Carpenters, John Popper of Blues Traveller, electric, acoustic, lap and pedal steel “guitar monk” Steve Kimock and local heartthrobs The T-Sisters.

The young soul singer Allen Stone will play the SOMO Event Center June 30th with support from San Francisco’s psychedelic soul band, The Monophonics. Tickets are on sale now at www.somoconcerts.com. Stone proves himself deeply devoted to making uncompromisingly soulful music that transcends all pop convention. Like many of his own musical heroes- Stevie Wonder chief among them- Stone pulls off the near-magical feat of channeling a weight of the-world sensitivity into his songs while still radiating hope and promise. Stone has been featured on the Ellen Degeneres show, the Conan O’Brien show and was VH1’s first “You Oughta Know” artist of 2013.
July 10th brings the World’s Greatest Pink Floyd Tribute Show: Brit Floyd (as seen on PBS) with a spectacular new million dollar light show, state of the art video design and an even bigger stage production, Space and Time CONTINUUM promises to be the most ambitious and best Brit Floyd show yet. Powerhouse alternative rock vocalist Grace Potter brings her solo debut, Midnight, July 22nd, an inspired work that is surprising, revelatory and wildly original. Reggae fans will be delighted to hear that UB40 featuring Ali Campbell, Astro and Mickey Virtue will be joined by the legendary Wailers on July 27th.
