Luther Burbank Center for the Arts presents #IMOMSOHARD: The Flashback Tour
2026-01-25 17:00 - 19:00 | Luther Burbank Center for the Arts, 50 Mark West Springs Road, Santa Rosa, 95403, United States
#IMOMSOHARD began as a popular web series by real-life best friends, comedians, and moms Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley. One night, over a glass of wine and many tears of frustration, these two friends decided to tell a different kind of story. With a camera, two husbands, a babysitter, and bottomless mimosas, Kristin and Jen decided to speak openly about their fears and failures and to prove that the only way to survive motherhood is through laughter and friendship.
Kristin and Jen went on to create weekly videos about all things womanhood and motherhood: hemorrhoids, nipple hair, sex after marriage, mom bods, spanks, wedding dresses, and swimsuits. (Yes, they wore them on camera.) The videos have received nearly 300 million views worldwide in just five years, which has led to over 3 million followers, four sold-out national tours, branded deals, a podcast, a New York Times bestseller, and a TV deal. They’re now on their fifth original nation-wide tour playing to thousands of fans every night.
Both women write and produce the #IMSH series with a common goal: “Maybe we can make you feel better about the job you’re doing, if you see the terrible job we’re doing.”

Bring the whole family for a special benefit supporting the Petaluma High School Music Department on Saturday, Jan 17th!
Spike Sikes & His Awesome Hotcakes
The most frequently heard comment after a Spike’s Awesome Hotcakes gig goes something like this –

“No one is making this kind of music anymore!” But what, exactly, is “this kind of music?”
Like hotcakes themselves, it goes by many names. Soul. Swing. Rhythm & Blues. Jazz. Jump. It’s a sound that’s classic and simple, but when it’s done right, it hits the spot and has you grinning from ear to ear. Spike has spent years searching for this sound.
From the Texas blues joints he cut his teeth in to the funky halls of New Orleans, he was always studying the music, trying to find just the right recipe. It makes perfect sense that he found his bandmates in Sonoma County, a music scene that has fostered many eclectic artists for decades.
What he didn’t know was how hungry audiences were for “this kind of music.” You might say they’ve been eating it up like…Hotcakes!

Sweetwater presents Kristina Marinova plays the music of the Grateful Dead
2026-01-15 20:00 - 22:00 | Sweetwater Music Hall, 19 Corte Madera Avenue, Mill Valley, CA, 94941, United States
Experience the brilliance and versatility of Kristina Marinova, a classically trained European pianist, who captures the sonic tapestry of the Grateful Dead’s music spanning from their inception in 1966 to their award winning and critically acclaimed three album Live European Tour in 1972 with her newest release, “THE BUS CAME BY AND I GOT ON”.
Kristina boards the psychedelic bus and brings nothing but a grand piano—and proves that’s all she needs. She transforms eleven cornerstones of the Grateful Dead canon into a cinematic solo-piano experience that mirrors the arc of an early-’70s Dead show, complete with exploratory segues and encore-worthy fireworks.
Marinova’s touch is already legendary. Classical Music Review hailed her Carnegie Hall program 4 Rhapsodies as “A Feast for the Ears,” while Nagamag Magazine wrote that her playing feels “like a message from God,” praising its “dazzling, tender, virtuosic and emotional” power. A capacity crowd at Tarrytown Music Hall went further, calling her recent recital “an incredible spectacular performance” by “the elegant and masterful Bulgarian pianist.”

Luther Burbank Center for the Arts presents The Temptations and The Four Tops
2026-01-15 19:00 - 21:30 | Luther Burbank Center for the Arts, 50 Mark West Springs Road, Santa Rosa, 95403, United States
Two legendary groups, one unforgettable night—The Temptations and The Four Tops bring their iconic Motown magic to the stage for an evening of smooth harmonies, soulful hits, and nonstop nostalgia.
The Temptations, often referred to as American music royalty, are world-renowned superstars of entertainment, revered for their phenomenal catalog of music and prolific career. Ranked #1 in Billboard magazine’s most recent list of the “Greatest R&B/Hip-Hop Artists of All Time,” The Temptations are headlining concerts around the country, showcasing enduring fan favorites, including “My Girl,” “Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me),” “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” and “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone.”
With their unmistakable harmonies and timeless Motown hits, The Four Tops bring a legendary sound that defined a generation—and still gets audiences on their feet today. From the soaring power of “Reach Out I’ll Be There” to the irresistible groove of “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch),” their catalog of chart-topping songs remains among the most beloved in pop and soul history. With over two dozen Top 40 hits and a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction to their name, the group’s legacy is as enduring as their melodies.

Sweetwater presents Winona with Gillian Grogan
2026-01-11 20:00 - 22:00 | Sweetwater Music Hall, 19 Corte Madera Avenue, Mill Valley, CA, 94941, United States
Winona is a musician, songwriter, and performer from the misty hills of the northern California coast.

Her mythic songs and haunting vocals are full of melancholic longing and timeless beauty. Rooted in the folk music of the 1960s and inspired by modern indie songstresses, Winona’s sound is at once nostalgic and dew-fresh unique. She loves the music of Feist, Kate Wolf, Courtney Marie Andrews, and (of course) Joni. Now backed by an immensely talented band, Winona’s songs are free to come entirely alive, with shimmering chord progressions, siren-like harmonies, and melodies that will spirit you away to the stars.

Gillian Grogan is a vocalist, guitarist, songwriter and van-dweller with roots in Sonoma County.
Grogan has woven bits of folk, indie, rock, and nature itself into a sonic landscape “unlike anything else you’ve heard in ‘folk’ music today” (Ear To The Ground). Tickled strings, floating vocals, hammered riffs and belted requests—she has taken the plot and given it curves, let it swell and shrink back again. Untamed and untethered, her pure yet earthy voice will silence the room one moment and have it in stitches the next. We All Need Someone To Shout For calls it “powerhouse emotive folk storytelling in the vein of Laura Marling”. NPR Music’s Felix Contreras calls her songwriting “six strings and the truth.”
She calls it “full-bodied folk.”
Pairs well with massive vistas, bustling gardens, light mischief, hope and traveling alone.

Mystic Theatre presents Zepparella
2026-01-10 21:00 - 22:30, 2026-01-09 21:00 - 22:30 | Mystic Theatre, 23 Petaluma Blvd N, Petaluma, CA, 94952, United States
How to honor the legacy of a band deemed sacred? To tread on holy ground is perilous, and must be done with the intent and spirit of a disciple—Pay attention to the intricacies of the magic, explore the far ends of the innovation, strive for ever-growing ability, and let the purity of the love for the music drive it all.
Drummer Clementine is the founding member of ZEPPARELLA. From the beginning of her musical career, her goal has been to be onstage every night. The pursuit of that goal has led Clementine to constantly tour the US and Europe in projects as diverse as Bottom, AC/DShe, The House Of More, The Solid, Francis Bakin, Stars Turn Me On and Beaux Cheveux. She tackles the best rock drumming ever written with her own emotionally powerful style, bringing the Motown influence of the Bonham groove to the forefront. The profound musical connection established with Gretchen Menn (guitar), Holly West (bass), and Anna Kristina (vocals) creates the bond required to do this great music justice.
It was under the tutelage of classical guitarist Phillip DeFremery, a student of Andrés Segovia, that guitarist Gretchen Menn began her path on the instrument. Playing with tireless passion and constantly seeking out new challenges, her projects are often unconventional, genre-bending expressions combining elements of classical, rock, progressive, jazz, and metal. On influences, Gretchen has never tired of her initial inspirations—Eric Johnson, Steve Morse, Frank Zappa, and Jeff Beck. But she has loved Jimmy Page’s guitar playing longer than she has played the guitar. It was through the music of Led Zeppelin that she found a gateway into music that resonated deeply with her, creating a love for guitar-oriented music, and, ultimately, the guitar.
Now more than ever, Zepparella explores their own improvised magic within the framework of Zeppelin’s mighty songs!

Sweetwater presents Jim Keller
2026-01-10 20:00 - 22:00 | Sweetwater Music Hall, 19 Corte Madera Avenue, Mill Valley, CA, 94941, United States
Jim Keller first got nationwide attention with the Bay-area band Tommy Tutone. He co-wrote and performed “867-5309/Jenny,” a classic power pop tune that helped make 80s radio so listenable.
Now a cult figure in the music business, Keller’s gigs in New York and Nashville are legendary. If the best players in town aren’t on stage with him, they are in the audience, singing along, playing along, making the sort of noise that would get you locked up in a lesser town.
He’s in the throes of a creative renaissance, and his new album, End of the World, features some of the strongest writing of his career. It marks his seventh album since 2010, when he returned to songwriting after more than a decade managing composer Philip Glass and representing the likes of Tom Waits and Ravi Shankar.
Keller will be joined by the album’s producer and multi-instrumentalist Adam Minkoff (Graham Nash, Amy Helm), legendary bassist Bob Glaub (Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks), keyboardist Todd Caldwell (Crosby, Stills & Nash) and, in all likelihood, surprise guests to form what Keller calls his Usual Mess.

What started as a quaint motor lodge and a common pitstop for travelers and truckers in the 1940s morphed into a bohemian’s hang by the 1960s and 1970s. Artists, musicians, and vagabonds of all types would stop there as seedy ownership pumped obnoxious amounts of money into high end renovations, eventually attracting some of the most prominent acts of the era. But when the money ran out, The Sage Motel devolved into a place where you rent by the hour.

Sage Motel, Monophonics’ fifth studio album since 2012, tells its story. Once again produced by brilliant bandleader Kelly Finnigan, the album captures a timeless sound that blends heavy soul with psych-rock. With their previous album, It’s Only Us, selling over 10,000 physical units and garnering over 20 million streams, Monophonics have built a reputation over the past decade as one of the most impactful bands in the country.

If these walls of the Sage Motel could talk, this is what they’d say. So join us as we examine where the stories are told and experiences unfold….and sink into a soft pillow of soulful psychedelia….. down at the Sage Motel.
