Bayonics & Sila / Bay Vibes 2 / Faraway Family / THE SOUTHERN TROUBADOURS & ANDERS OSBORNE

I hope all of you have had a chance to stop by the San Francisco Giants County Fair this week. BISS is really excited to have been a part of it, and want to thank all of our artists who participated. If you haven't had a chance to stop by you still have this weekend to check out the music, the rides and a ball game. Make sure to ride the Scrambler (they call it the sizzler)!!! Tonight on the county fair stage is Notorious, WonderBread 5 and Groovelayer. Tomorrow at the AT&T park is Kenny Chesney with Sugarland.

Tonight I am stopping by the Fair for Groovelayer and then will definitely be at The INDEPENDENT early to catch Bayonics and then Sila & the Afrofunk Experience. Then we'll end up at the BBR for FRO. (*WIN)

Tomorrow all day and on into the night is the Bay Vibes 2 Summer Music Festival @ Pier 23 featuring Kapakahi, Monophonics, Spaceheater, Izabella, Afrolicious, Kev Choice Ensemble, Native Elements, Pat Jordan Band, & Dogman Joe.

Sunday, I am heading over the bridge for the West End Village Celebration, 4th Street - Downtown with Eric McFadden and the Faraway Family. Then back into the city for THE SOUTHERN TROUBADOURS ANDERS OSBORNE, CLARENCE BUCARO & JUMPIN' JOHNNY SANSOME, and JeConte, Cohen & Friends @ Mojito for another Forthebayou.org Event. ALL PROCEEDS GO TO SAVING THE LOUISIANA WETLANDS!!!
