SEPT 1 Sound Summit
Sound Summit
Lukas Nelson and Father John Misty headline a full day of performances, including Mill Valley’s own Teal Collins, in an epic event at the Mountain Theater on Mount Tamalpais. The show is a homecoming for Collins, who grew up in Mount Tam’s shadow and will debut her new band, playing all original material at her “beloved magic spot.” Garage rock from L.A.’s Allah-Lahs, Mardi Gras Indian funk from New Orleans-based Cha Wa and San Francisco DJ Andy Cabic (of Vetiver) round out the day. Hometown favorite Brian Murphy with KNBR partner Paul McCaffrey bring their Murph & Mac act to the master of ceremonies role. “Mill Valley has changed over the years,” says Mill Valley resident Murphy, “but everything about Sound Summit — the appreciation of music, the appreciation of the mountain, the love and good vibes in the air — is the best of what a lot of us “Millbillies” like to think of as true Mill Valley. Thank goodness it’s back!” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. soundsummit.net
