Wolf Tree plays acoustic Americana at Northspur Brewing every first Friday of the month. Wolf Tree presents a curated mix of Alt Country and Americana songs, and alternates between guitar, mandolin, and octave mandolin – often with harmonica accompaniment. If you enjoy the likes of Townes van Zandt, John Prine, Colter Wall, Son Volt, or Gillian Welch, you’re sure to hear something you love.

Masters of contemporary Celtic guitar and traditional song, Keith Murphy and Yann Falquet will entertain you with songs from Quebec, France, and the northwest.

The Day of the Divine is an event celebrating the feminine with an all female lineup of local artists featuring The Real Sarahs as the headliner.

Ken Olcott comes from San Rafael to teach and call all the dances for this family-friendly, all ages dance. Live music will be provided by Fort Bragg's Flatwheelers. No partner needed.

Fresh off their tour to Portugal and Northern Ireland, San Francisco based band, Dirty Cello will present their exciting blend of blues, rock and Americana that has been described by Oakland Magazine as, “...funky, carnival, romantic, sexy, tangled, electric, fiercely rhythmic, and textured, and only occasionally classical” at Willits Community Theatre on Nov 8.

Band leader and cellist Rebecca Roudman is also a member of classical orchestras, but with the Dirty Cello band she lets her hair down and uses her classical training to push the cello to its limits - more Jimi Hendrix than Yo -Yo Ma.

Rebecca describes the Dirty Cello show as, “We play what folks want to hear, from the Devil Went Down to Georgia to Led Zeppelin, we go on stage with a huge collection of songs and then just have a ton of fun - we don’t take ourselves too seriously, and we just want the audience to have a good time too.”

This band of road warriors has played their unique blend of music all over the world with tours from Italy to the Middle East and everywhere in between.

Roudman reports that Dirty Cello’s shows are all about high energy and fun. The band is known for taking everything a bit uptempo, running into the crowd, and prompting classic singalongs.
