Uptown theatre presents Hannibal Buress
2026-08-29 20:00 - 22:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Uptown Theatre, 1350 Third Street, Napa, CA, 94559, United States
From within the bustling heart of the Windy City, a comedian named Hannibal Buress embarked upon his journey. The year was 2002, the location, the Big Muddy Room at Southern Illinois University. Guided by the wisdom of his friend Chidi and sharpened in the fires of Tony Trimm’s “Sunday School sessions,” young Buress was prepared to take the comedy world by storm.
In 2006, he emerged from the shadows, performing at Montreal’s Just for Laughs New Faces, an event that led to his first international appearance on Late Night with Jörgen Raymann in Holland. From that moment, he continued to grow, creating a series of successful stand-up specials including Animal Furnace, Live From Chicago, Hannibal Takes Edinburgh, Comedy Camisado, and Miami Nights.
Fate intervened in 2009, when a last-minute booking on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon led to a meeting with Seth Meyers. This encounter gave him the opportunity to write for the legendary show Saturday Night Live. It was there, my young turtles, where Buress had one sketch air – a moment he credits to the creativity of his cousin Percy. He cherishes the memory of watching Rihanna uttering his lines in the “Shy Ronnie” sketch. After a season there, he moved to 30 Rock, filling the space left vacant by the departure of Donald Glover.
In the realm of film, Buress has proven his versatility, showcasing his talents in Neighbors, Neighbors 2, Baywatch, Daddy’s Home, Spiderman: Homecoming, Spiderman: Far From Home, and Tag. He also provided a memorable performance as Lincoln the dentist on Broad City and lent his voice to animations like The Secret Life of Pets and The Angry Birds Movie.
From 2009 to 2017, Buress held court at the Comedy at the Knitting Factory, his charm and wit making an indelible mark on late-night television, featuring on shows such as David Letterman, Conan, Stephen Colbert, and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.
In 2022, he underwent a transformation, shedding his skin to become Eshu Tune in the world of music. His rhythmic anthems like “Veneers remix” with Danny Brown and Paul Wall, the lively bowling song “1-3 Pocket,” and the meticulously crafted “I Lift Weights” echo through the streets. This endeavor was made possible through collaborations with creative minds like Kiefer, Tru, Eshu Tune, Wahsabi Papi, Kenny Segal, Eryn Allen Kane, and Haile Supreme.

Sweetwater presents Duane Betts & Palmetto Motel with Miko Marks
2026-08-29 20:00 - 22:00 | Sweetwater Music Hall, 19 Corte Madera Avenue, Mill Valley, CA, 94941, United States
Duane Betts ignites and brings an evolution to the Southern rock tradition. With a fiery legacy forged by his father, the legendary Dickey Betts, the second generation musician infuses it with his own soul-stirring blend of blues, raw passion, and six-string mastery. Backed by his band, Palmetto Motel, Betts delivers a dynamic live show filled with searing guitar solos, heartfelt storytelling, and a mix of classic influences with fresh energy. Fans can expect a blend of roots rock, blues, and some improvisational jamming, creating an electrifying yet deeply authentic experience. With top-tier musicianship, a connection to rock ‘n’ roll history, and the desire to make every performance a true experience, a Palmetto Motel show is an unforgettable journey that no music lover should miss.

Palmetto Motel is…
Johnny Stachela (guitar, vocals)
Pedro Arevalo (bass, vocals)
Vincent Fossett Jr. (drums)
Max Butler (B-3 organ)

After a 14-year hiatus, Miko Marks has spent the last few years making up for lost time. Her early career as a country singer brought critical acclaim but also a series of industry execs who didn’t think they could market her to their audiences. In 2021 she re-emerged as a “monster talent” according to Rolling Stone, drawing on the full scope of her musical and cultural roots, and has quickly become a fan favorite at festivals and venues all over the country. With a vintage sound that deftly blends Americana, blues, southern rock, and even gospel, her powerful voice and warm, soulful spirit literally bring every audience to its feet. She follows up Our Country (2021), Race Records (2021 EP), Feel Like Going Home (2022) and its 2024 deluxe version (feat. Buddy Miller, Tré Burt, Melissa Carper…) with a blues album coming in 2026.

Raven Performing Arts Theater presents macbitches
2026-09-04 - 2026-09-20 | CA
macbitches takes a darkly funny look at the toxic, high-stakes world of university theater, centering on a freshman who unexpectedly lands the role of Lady Macbeth. The play centers on freshman acting major Hailey, who unexpectedly scores the coveted role of Lady Macbeth. Her upperclassmen rivals immediately invite her over to “celebrate.” As the Fireball and Svedka flow, the young women interrogate their own ambitions as well as the power structures that have shaped their education—and when the night spirals into violent and shocking acts of betrayal, they come to learn that what’s done cannot be undone.

2026-09-12 20:00 - 22:00 | Sweetwater Music Hall, 19 Corte Madera Avenue, Mill Valley, CA, 94941, United States
Dirtyspoon is arguably the most underrated, most important and most beloved band in this entire bio. Deftly (Deaf-ly?), navigating various genres , the Dirtyspoon bus ride makes stops at 80s Alt, Big Hair Spandex Metal, Nostalgia Pop and Familiar Funk. We believe that the key to a great party is getting the ladies on the dance floor. And you know we’re right fellas. Dirtyspoon recently underwent genetic testing and it turns out our ancestry includes Ska, Reggae, Country, Nu Metal, Hip Hop, Emo, ShoeGaze, Pop and Blues. And Icelandic. Dirtyspoon covers highly danceable hits from the 80s, 90s but You Aughta Know that already. We have been favorably compared to, in no particular order, the Joe Montana era 49ers, a bottle of 1982 Mouton Rothschild and the second season of Hill Street Blues. Equally comfortable covering Come on Eileen… Sweet Child of mine… And Uptown Funk … Dirtyspoon is the soundtrack to your misspent youth …missed opportunities …and the one who got away.

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with a taste of Latin America in Sonoma County! Enjoy authentic food, music, games, and activities for the entire family. Organized by the Center’s Latino Advisory Council, this free, family-friendly, campus-wide festival honors Latin American countries that recognize their independence during this month.
LBC also will present its annual Community Leadership Awards in partnership with Los Cien Sonoma County to an individual and an organization that have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to the Latino Community through volunteerism, education, mentorship, or other personal or professional efforts.
Fiesta de Independencia began at the Center in 2010 to commemorate Mexican Independence Day (September 16) and has since evolved to celebrate the rich history of the diverse Latino cultures and people who are an integral part of the North Bay community. Drawing more than 5,000 community members each year, the event has become a Sonoma County tradition. The Fiesta is a community-wide celebration of cultures, people, and traditions that also increases awareness about Hispanic history and tradition, service organizations that support our community, and the many Latinx businesses in Sonoma County.
