My band Stonetrout (think Grateful Dead meets Bonnie Raitt) will be opening the 7th Annual Cannabis Harvest Festival, a benefit for S.A.M.M. - the Sonoma Alliance for Medical Marijuana - this Saturday, November 5th. This is a great event - big fun. It will be held at the Community Center in Sebastopol, just down the road a piece from Alembic. My band goes on early, right at 7 p.m. I'll be playing my Electrum among other guitars.
Here is the revised press release:
