Get ready for an eclectic double bill. Vetiver, indie folk project of San Francisco’s Andy Cabic, plays lush, seventies-esque Americana that straddles the line between bright pop and introspective melancholy. Performing with several acoustic guitarists, Cabic’s songwriting makes the old school into a melodic beauty. Similarly, guitarist David James, alongside reed player Beth Custer and trombonist Alan Williams, have moved from their foundations in jazz to incorporate the influence of rock, soul, funk and a variety of African and Latin musical traditions, to create a musical tradition all their own—experimental yet totally accessible.

To show that Frisco ladies ain’t no punks, San Francisco’s own La Doña makes a trip to the Mid-Peninsula this Saturday afternoon for a free performance at the Mitchell Park Bowl. The multi-talented vocalist/rapper/trumpeter/artist fuses Mexican banda styles with reggaeton and Bay Area hyphy hip hop to tell stories of strength, culture, women, hustle and life in both Spanish and English—all topped off with a little Bay swag. Behind her are an accomplished crew of dedicated musicians, laying it all down smooth for this fly Frisco mama’s distinct voice and lyricism.
