other serious dance music from the last four decades.

This is the premiere Zydeco band for the west coast. Their eclectic, soulful style ignites the
stage wherever they perform. Zydeco fans will be energized by their tight rhythm section and
unique brand of Louisiana-spiced playing. Their fifth CD released, "Bank the Fire," was
released in 2003, providing fans with hot Zydeco in the tradition of the masters like Clifton
Chenier,Buckwheat Zydeco and Queen Ida.
July 23rd . Don's Neighbor's
Your favorite neighbors-hood rock and roll band, with a diverse and interesting blend of
original rock and classic rock covers from yesterday and today. This band has what it takes
to keep an audience poppin' for hours of fun and old time rock and roll.
July 30th Downtown Allstars with David Ladd
The Downtown Allstars are a contemporary jazz band made up of some of the premiere
studio and club musicians in the Bay Area. Their sound is a unique blend of instrumental
and vocal music combining Jazz, Motown, R & B, Funk, Salsa, Reggae, and Caribbean.
Jazz listeners will enjoy their outstanding vocals, contagious rhythm, virtuoso musicianship
and energetic performance.

August 6th The Back Pages
This group brings to the world a sound that hasn't been heard in years... a sound that goes
back to those heady days of the Summer of Love — the 60's. This cover band plays
everything from the Yardbirds to the Grass Roots. The band members' clothes, hair, love
beads and vintage instruments are reminiscent of the 1960's.
RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of Staff that the Heritage and Cultural Arts
Commission receive the report from Staff
