Musical Notes in Sonoma County

he Peacetown Summer Concert Series brings community together for


this fun, family-friendly an- nual event. “We started in 2012 with four shows, went to six the next year, then eight and 10. Now up to 13. Each year the crowds swell but, the vibe stays sweet. In between bands, we have an amazing moment of si- lence where the whole crowd goes quiet and I play the magic flute. It is always a wake- up minute of beautiful connection,” explains, Jim Corbett, Caretaker of Peacetown. This free summer series takes


concert


place on Wednesday evenings through Sep- tember 4th from 5:00 – 8:00 pm at Ives Park in


19th. Rounding out the line- up in June are Blues Legend, Nick Gravenites along with opener Ace of Cups on the 26th.
