"Bay Vibes Summer Musicfest 3 celebrates community through local music"
Bay Vibes Summer Musicfest 3
Sunday, August 22, Noon-2 a.m.
Café Cocomo, San Francisco, CA
www.bayvibesfest.com
The Bay Area's largest all-local music festival returns for the third year in a row, featuring a heavy-hitting line-up at a hot new venue: Café Cocomo , in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill district. With a beautiful main stage and huge dance floor, plus a large outdoor courtyard and second stage, this location is sure to be a hit with Bay Vibers old and new.
Whether you’re into the positive island reggae of SF’s Native Elements and My Peoples, funky acoustic soul-stripping jams of Alma Desnuda, conscious hip hop of Berkeley’s The Getback, or the jam-rock grooves of Main Stage favorite Izabella, Bay Vibes Summer Musicfest 3 offers a little something for everyone and a chance to turn people on to new sounds right here in their own back yard.
Leading up to the festival, a promotional Bay Vibes Sampler CD will be released by Sonic Zen Records, featuring the more than 20 Bay Area based musical acts are performing throughout the 14-hour event. (Members of the press who would like to receive a copy of this disc for review may contact charlie@soniczenrecords.com.)
The musical delights will be enhanced by live painting from local artists, yoga and massage from local healers, yummy food and drinks with plenty of organic Bay Area style, and hot local DJs tearing it up between sets and also closing down the house. In addition, Rock the Bike will bring their environmentally-minded flair in the form of pedal-powered performances.

About Bay Vibes:
Bay Vibes was conceived on a sunny day in the park by Robin Applewood, the charismatic lead singer of Dogman Joe. Growing up within the larger San Francisco art and music scene, with many years of professional experience playing out, Applewood sought to create a venue that would further expose, build, and unify the Bay Area’s artist community. He looked to fellow musicians, talented artists, production experts and other friends to help define and celebrate what he knows to be the unifying thread: a sound that carries from the heartbeat of the city to the music-loving world at large.
In its third year, Bay Vibes is a locally-driven and oriented event company with excellent ties to the real and online communities, and, in 2010, intends to expand to an Internet radio station continuously supporting multi-genre local bands. Applewood and company are dedicated to promoting local music, both for the locals and to music fans visiting or wanting to get turned on to the Bay Area sound from afar. Bay Vibes encourages all interested folks to come and enjoy current events throughout the city, and features stellar shows at Yoshi’s SF, including: Songwriter Sundays, Late Night Live Tuesdays, and Global Movement Wednesdays.
What would any music community be without the occasional festive extravaganza? Coming from core beliefs in the unification of sound amongst local artists and a strong desire to foster a thriving community, in Bay Vibes, Applewood also created an evolutionary model for music festivals. By involving performers in promotion and organizers in the show, Bay Vibes 3 breaks down barriers between “rock stars” and the community, making our event by and for the music loving community as a whole. The positive benefits of such a model ultimately connects festivalgoers with many different styles of up and coming Bay Area music, and the musicians with their fans in a holistically fun and new way.
Created for and by music lovers, Bay Vibes proves to be a fast-growing community of great musicians and artists with a fresh and yet old-school approach to supporting local music. If you want to get involved, contact Robin at robin@bayvibessf.com and let us know about your own local talents – the more Bay Vibers, the merrier!

http://www.songwritersunplugged.com
San Francisco has a new home for its exceptionally talented songwriters. June 29th is a culmination of eleven months and over 100 songwriters giving their all to build the Songwriters Unplugged series into what it has become. The present culmination of this arc celebrates the second time that five favorites land on the Yoshi's SF main stage, to show their best.
Respect for the craft of songwriting is really what draws people to these events -- and the turnout at the weekly series has been excellent week after week for the Sunday Lounge Stage events. One of the highlights of the experience is the feeling of community. The focus of the event is on the creativity and expression of the artists, rather than a place where original songwriters can feel like they're a part of something bigger than just their own bands.
A lot of songwriters are showing up each week to support those who are performing -- and it really feels like we're building a community here, a family. The kind of family you want to adopt. The caliber of muicianship is high with an ambiance to match.
