The devastating Valley Fire that swept through Lake County last weekend, and continues to burn, has leveled entire neighborhoods and left tens of thousands of people homeless, displaced and in need of basic supplies like clothing, food and shelter. It’s a heartbreaking story, but the community in the North Bay has been quick to act with relief drives and fundraising efforts and that include a number of concert events. Here’s a few coming up this week and next:
September 17: Coffee and beer cafe Brew welcomes local musicians Cory Oleson, Charlie Davenport, Andrew Maurer and Francesco Catania with local artists auctioning off their work and proceeds from sales and beer going to relief efforts in Lake County. 555 Healdsburg Ave, Santa Rosa. 7pm.
September 20: HopMonk Tavern is hosting a collective of Sonoma County artists, promoters, and event producers in presenting an all-day benefit concert and silent auction. The lineup is still TBA, though it’s sure to be a killer bill, with all proceeds benefitting Valley Fire relief. If you can’t attend but still want to donate, you can do so here. 230 Petaluma Ave, Sebastopol. Noon. $20.
September 26: The Phoenix Theater is putting together a rocking night of local acts including Bad Boy Eddy, State Line Empire, LuvPlanet and Faith & Bullets. A raffle and silent auction come with this show as well, and again all proceeds are going straight to those in need. 201 Washington St, Petaluma. 7pm. $10.
These are just a few of surely dozens of such shows happening for this cause. If you know of one, throw it into the comments, and if you can, please help our neighbors in need. Don’t know where to start? Go here.

  1. Due to the recent tragedy of the Napa valley fires many displaced families who lost everything still desperately need our help. In an effort to raise money for these displaced families a few north bay locals have rallied their friends and inspired some great local bands to volunteer such as local artist Midori and Ezra Boy, Skunk Funk, Swaybone and many more!
    The relief concert will be held at Villa Romano restaurant on 1011 Soscol Ferry Rd. in Napa on Sunday October 25. From 12:30 PM to 10pm 
    We hope to raise money to donate directly to evacuees through North coast opportunities and LoveLakeCounty.org This event is for all ages and free admission. Costume contest, games, raffle, art, open mic food and beverages.
