FRIDAY, FEB. 14
Valentine’s Day
The City of Healdsburg will be closed on Friday, one of its regular bi-weekly community development days, and again Monday, due to the federal President’s Day (if we still have that this year).
Right On Schedule
Rain is forecast for this weekend, just in time for the 133rd annual Cloverdale Citrus Fair at the Fairgrounds in Cloverdale. This year’s theme is “The Good Ole Days, Remember When …” Parade is Saturday, fair through Feb. 17, cloverdalecitrusfair.org/home.
BoHoss Boogie
OK, we don’t know what that means, but bet it’s some ’kicking music. Right now they’re a duo, but size may depend on the environment, and in the music-friendly halls of the Elephant in the Room there’s room for growth (at least in good weather). On Valentine’s Day, 8-11pm, 177 Healdsburg Ave.
SATURDAY, FEB. 15
Raven Gala
The Raven Performing Arts Theater throws its second Winter Gala on Saturday, Feb. 15, starting at 6:30pm. Local actors and singers will perform from upcoming shows The Bridges of Madison County and School of Rock, as well as other selections. Talent from the Young at Heart company will also sing; expect other surprises from the stage as well. It’s a fundraiser, with auction items available and $25-$50 tickets. 115 North St., raventheater.org.
Dad Country
The genre gets a boost from Arkansas-based Nick Shoulders and the Okay Crawdad, with Jonny Fritz opening. Shoulders says this tour “will be the last for the foreseeable future with the original Crawdad rhythm section,” including Grant D’Aubin and Cheech Moosekian. Special SRO show upstairs at Second Story, doors at 6pm, music at 7. Little Saint, 25 North St.
Latin and More
Enjoy the “World Guitar” duo of David Correa and Tommy Hill, plus percussion from Rami Ziadeh. Jazz in the lobby of Hotel Healdsburg every Saturday, from 6-9pm. No cover, Spirit Bar small plates available plus full bar, at Hotel Healdsburg, 25 Matheson St.
SUNDAY, FEB. 16
Vinyl Sundays
Here’s a new one at Furthermore Wines: Hang out with local musicians as they play their favorite records. Chris Amberger started it off last Sunday with hardbop, Chad Richard shares his love of jazz guitar this Sunday and others are upcoming. Meanwhile the regular Thursday-Saturday music continues with various artists, free, from 5:30-8pm. Tasting room address is 328-A Healdsburg Ave., furthermorewines.com/events.
Pipe Organ Concert
St. Paul’s Director of Music Paul Blanchard plays an hour-long concert on the church’s Bigelow pipe organ at 5pm on Sunday, Feb. 16. St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 209 Matheson St., 5-6pm, admission is free.
The Pulsators
Often voted Best Dance Band in local music polls and surveys, the Pulsators have been seen on Healdsburg stages since back in the day, if not earlier. They’ve lost none of their ska-rock R&B roots, and they’ll bring it all to the Coyote Den on Sunday. Tickets $30, show starts at 9pm at Coyote Sonoma, 44F Mill St.
TUESDAY, Feb. 18
Public Hearing on Districts
The usual Monday City Council meeting is delayed until Tuesday (due to the President’s Day holiday), and the agenda will be highlighted by the “third public hearing” of the city’s transition to district elections. Public comment is welcome (and essential); the meeting starts at 6pm and the hearing could start possibly as early as 6:15pm. It’s at Council Chambers, 401 Grove St., and live on Zoom, YouTube and facebook.com/cityofhealdsburg.
