Yes, you can join a bus full of party goers and drive to S.F. and back for a great show at Slim’s on Thursday, Oct. 9th with ROYAL JELLY JIVE, HIGHWAY POETS & MARTY O’REILLY.

Just think, you won’t have to worry about drinking and driving because someone else will be doing the driving! Just BYOB, and you’ll be able to get your party on before you even cross the bridge, and you can bring your friends. Even though the original bus has SOLD OUT! There are still tickets left on the second bus leaving at the same time, same place, for the same show!

Bus leaves Santa Rosa or Petaluma to Slim’s in San Francisco the evening of Thursday, Oct. 9th – Buy your tickets ASAP! This will sell out, and you’ll be bummed you didn’t get on the bus! – http://www.eventbrite.com/e/hootenanny-express-w-royal-jelly-jive-highway-poets-and-marty-oreilly-the-old-soul-orchestra-tickets-12659371521

Who’s going to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass?

Posted on October 4, 2014 by Melinas Garden

We are so lucky to have this amazing weekend of top quality FREE music in the beautiful Golden Gate Park every year. Hardly Strictly – THANK YOU for the years of wonderful music and good vibes.

This year we are blessed with another warm weekend! So, take your picnic blanket and a pal and get down to Hardly Strictly!

If you can’t make it to San Francisco, then be sure to get out and about in this glorious Californian weather. It’s bound to break soon, and with the El Niño speculations, it will probably be pouring for weeks!

See you in the park!
