FANWAR LARP

istening to music can quite literally be a buoyant experience at the Russian River Jazz and Blues Festival. With the stage just feet away from the water, your inner tube can serve as your seat. Float along as you listen to acts such as Grammy-award winner Stephanie Mills and the iconic Tower of Power as well as Bay Area favorites Con Brio, Frobeck, and many others. Shows will be held September 9 and 10 at Johnson’s Beach in Guerneville. General admission is $55 for a single day or $90 for the weekend; a gold pass, which includes reserved seating as well as complimentary wine, is $110 for a single day or $190 for the weekend.

Mark St. Mary and his Blues and Zydeco Band
Taste the Music n the kettle of New Orleans’s Creole culture bubbles Zydeco, its zesty tempos giving the city its trademark musical flavor. Thanks to Sonoma County Cajun and Zydeco Delta Rhythm Festival, you don’t have to travel to Louisiana to hear it. The festival comes to Ives Park in Sebastopol September 2–3, 11:30 a.m.–7 p.m. On September 2, nationally known acts such as Geno Delafose and the French Rockin’ Boogie Band, Mark St. Mary and his Blues and Zydeco Band, and others will take to the stage. Then, on September 3, rockabilly groups such as the Blasters, Kim Lenz and Her Jaguars, and the RevTones will take their turn getting the crowd to move and groove. Besides music, there will be plenty of crawfish and other Cajun eats as well as vendors selling arty wares. Admission is $25–$30 for one day or $40–$50 for both days.
