There’s nothing we love more than a new music festival except for an independent music festival, and there’s nothing more we love more than an independent music festival than an expanding music festival. That makes Mill Valley at least three things that we love! Because for its second year, the Mill Valley Music Festival has doubled in size. At this rate, it will be over a month-long in just five years! Let’s do it!
This year’s lineup is a near-perfect two days of music outdoors in the beautiful Bay Area. After our first real winter in several years, we’re all going to need the bright sunshine of a Michael Franti & Spearhead set on a Saturday night under the stars. And then on Sunday night, the 14th, we finish with dessert as Cake play their first announced Bay Area show since 2019!
Add to that the New Orleans rock/funk/rap/spoken word genius mashup of Tank and the Bangas, the horn-driven pop-soul of The Dip, the buttery smooth Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears, the ecstatically joyous Remain in Light project from Adrian Belew and Jerry Harrison paying tribute to the classic Talking Heads album of the same name, the southern soul solo debut of Durand Jones, and much much more, and I don’t know even know how you could skip it.
The second day of this is Mother’s Day. Your mother will love this. Bring your mother.
