If you are in need a cover band who can get the party started...I've got one for you! I've been…read morefollowing this band for about 2 years now. I've seen them in the City @ Foley's Irish Pub (they're there every 3rd Saturday), Flamingo Hotel and Resort in Santa Rosa, and various locations supplying the entertainment at fairs, weddings, and birthday parties!!! Everytime, I see them...they get better and better...truly a class act! They not only play the old school funk jams that will get your booty shaking, but also the reggae/island feel that all islanders know and love, they can get jiggy with it, slow it down for romancing, plus, they can rock the house- they got something for everybody out there...no matter what color, shape or size...love these guys! I love them so much I hired them as a wedding gift for one of my sister's best friends-Sia & Tony's wedding was Saturday, 8/08/09 and the reception was at the Basque Cultural Center! Let me tell you...they did not disappoint anyone at this reception...their sounds were hip, funky, soulful and island all the way! I was truly surprised at the cultural songs they performed...it was a very colorful event, a Samoan/Tongan wedding. Sole won the hearts of both families...entertaining them in their native languages.....awesome job! I already knew they were good, but they were over the top with the traditional island music...kudos!!! If you really want to get a nice cardio workout, check these guys out. I must have sweated off ten pounds. I can't help it...once they start, I am on the dance floor till the end! Sole deserves a 5-star rating and I recommend them for any special event you're planning... I am grateful and appreciative that they share their talent with us all. They are a class act!!!! Keep us dancing Sole! Auj, a faithful fan

I found City Lights Band, as I was perusing my high school year book. They played for one or more…read moreof my high school Father-Daughter dinner dances. I was so happy to discover that 10+ years later, they were still together and active! Their website has many different samples of their music. http://www.citylightsband.net/ We chose them because they have a huge repertoire of music to play from, and a very strong male & female vocalist. They were able to play bosa nova jazz music during dinner, which made the wedding so much more elegant and festive. My husband really wanted to add some brass to their 6 piece band. Barry, the band leader, was very easy going, and fun to work with-- not to mention his great sense of humor! He helped Emc the night. We added a sax and a trumpet, which made the band sound fantastic! We chose "At Last" as our first song-- which everyone was so impressed with. Thank you City Lights Band! BTW, the band members live all over the bay area. The band leader, Barry, lives near Santa Rosa. They perform all over the bay area, and all over California!

So much so that I wanted to be able to buy their music in iTunes so I contacted them through social media and asked where I could find their music. Jordan kindly replied and told me that their stuff wasn't on iTunes but that he could send me a CD FREE of charge! How awesome is that guy! I have not been able to make it out to any of their most recent events but I can say that the music and entertainment is quality stuff. And even though it's been a while since I've seen them whenever their album comes on on my iPhone I enjoy every bit of it and I sing a long to my hearts content. Bottom line is, if you want to have a great band playing in your venue these guys are it!

Yesterday marked the 4th time I have put on a tutu to the sounds of SF's LGFB. This year's theme was 60s so we all enjoyed hearing hits from The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, Nancy Sinatra, Tom Jones, and Motown, as well as the classic ballet excerpts. And you can't top an all-audience finale to the Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In from "Hair." This is an all-ages local gem!

They've been putting on this show for over 20 years. Like the typical Nutcracker performances, at Dance-Along Nutcracker you will be dazzled by the music, the dancing, and the costumes. But unlike the typical Nutcracker performances, at Dance-Along Nutcracker you will be encouraged not vilified for boogey-ing and pirouetting in the aisles. And of course, you are expected to break out your tutus and tiaras for the occasion. Don't have one? No worries, you can get them there. Kiddies LOVE it so take your nieces and nephews here, put a lock on the title for "Favorite Auntie" and have lots of fun in the process!

Perfect day, grassy slope with shady trees left us cool in the hot day, and a good view from anywhere.

Good for the kids to see women performing like this. Will go again every year and recommending to friends!
