Healdsburg Happenings, Oct. 2 – 11
The idea of a tribute band for a combo that never had a gig is pretty audacious, but when the material includes songs by Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan and George Harrison, it begins to make sense...
Inclusion means everyone at new playgrounds

Pavilion aces final test for local events

Storm KOs tree, Power Line on Reed Court

Another check off the basket list
Floating above Santa Rosa, Windsor and Healdsburg’s vineyards in a hot air balloon while sipping champagne and eating croissants makes a morning magical.

Morning commutes to Santa Rosa down Hwy 101 are boring unless one happens upon a balloon piloting its way up the valley.
Media Exec Reborn as Donkey Protector
The seasonal legend is that the carpenter went door to door in Bethlehem looking for lodging while his very pregnant young wife was carried by an ass. Thirty-three years later, that grown child rode a donkey into Jerusalem to culminate his ministry. Whatever one...

It’s the path he and his brother Cody have been traveling down ever since NMA dropped their 2000 debut, Shake Hands with Shorty, and one the band members will share when they hit the LBC stage on May 9.
