FREE CONCER - SHADES OF THE BLUES - BENEFIT FOR FRIENDS OF McLAREN PARK

One can’t think of San Francisco without thinking of good music. Santana, The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and Steve Miller, just to name a few, were all nurtured in the City by the Bay.

In that same tradition, some of the best local musicians will be gathering at the Jerry Garcia Amphitheater for a free concert. The “Shades of the Blues” concert is Saturday, August 26th from 11AM -6PM.

Featured acts will include:
• DC'S BLUES PLANET
• FOG CITY REVUE
• MIKE MIRANDA BAND
• FUNKYDAWGS
• THE NEIGHBORS
• REGI HARVEY’S LIGHTNING SQUAD
• ALBERT KING GILES & FRIENDS
Experience the great acoustics and the beautiful natural setting of the Jerry Garcia Amphitheater in McLaren Park.

This concert will benefit Friends of McLaren Park. Admission is free. Donations are welcome.

So pack the family and a picnic and discover the heart and soul of our city’s wonderful local music scene.
