| Other Info: | History
The Simi Valley Cajun & Blues Music Festival, now in its 23rd year, has continually evolved since its humble beginnings. The Festival started out in 1988 as a New England Clambake fundraiser for the Rotary Club of Simi Sunrise, and within two years the Cajun Creole music theme was adopted. The Cajun theme proved to be very popular as the Festival gained national attention and grew to be one of the largest festivals of its kind west of the Mississippi River. The Festival currently presents live Cajun, Creole, Zydeco and Blues entertainment on multiple stages, offers more than 150 food, beverage, craft and sponsor booths, and attracts approximately 15,000 attendees. One hundred percent of all Festival profits are donated in support of charitable, educational and humanitarian causes. Thanks to the generous and vital support of our corporate partners, profits from The Simi Valley Cajun & Blues Music Festival have resulted in total charitable donations in excess of $1,000,000.

Nicasio, CA, USA 94946
A BRIEF HISTORY OF NICASIO
Tucked away, among the rolling hills of West Marin County, sits the quaint village of Nicasio. Nicasio, which means "the hidden one". is a town that has been unspoiled by time. The town, which had its beginnings somewhere around the mid 1800s, has seen people come and go, yet has not lost many of the characteristics that it possessed approximately one hundred and fifty years ago. Located at the exact center of Marin County, Nicasio still retains a vast amount of land that has seen slow and gradual progress. These changes have not disturbed the tranquility that the town still possess.
Rancho Nicasio boasts of its great atmosphere and great food. Making reservations helps them have everything just right.
|
| Other Info: | This very popular dinner/dance/bar nestled in the tiny coastal town of Nicasio is worth the trip. The atmosphere is cosy, the food is great, and it has the right stuff for enjoying live music. The show starts at 8:30pm and ends at 11pm. |

The Palms Playhouse is a cultural oasis for folk, rock, alt. country, blues, Americana, jazz and whatever else suits our fancy. This is our 30th year of hosting national touring bands, regional stars, and just plain great music in an intimate setting where you are never far from the stage. The atmosphere is casual. The bar serves beer, wine, sodas, coffee, tea, pretzels and cracker jacks. Come join us for a great night of live music in Winters
History
The Palms Playhouse was born in an old South Davis barn in the late 70's as a playhouse for local thespians but soon evolved into a cultural oasis for some of the finest live music heard anywhere. The old barn was rickety and full of dust. The winter winds blew through the wooden slats and the summer heat sizzled. It didn't matter. Palms' fans, listeners and musicians alike, swore those wooden slats were magical sounding boards creating top-notch, one-of-a-kind acoustics.
In 2002, after 27 years in the "Old Barn," the Palms Playhouse was forced to find a new home . While the old barn can never be replaced, the new venue in the 19th century Opera House in Winters continues to offer the same off-beat intimacy that The Palms was known for and an eclectic setting for some of the world's finest performers and musicians.
Nuts and Bolts
The Palms is located in the Winters Opera House in downtown Winters, California about 75 minutes east of San Francisco, 40 minutes west of Downtown Sacramento and about 15 minutes west of Davis. It seats 220, with first-come-first-served seating and has a dance floor, bar, and unlike the "Old Barn," large modern restrooms, along with heating and air conditioning. Advance Ticket Purchase is recommended but tickets are available at the door if the show isn't sold out.

| Other Info: | Doors open at 8pm, showtime 8:30pm
tickets are $18
