River Shook carries the country-rock torch of Sarah Shook & the Disarmers into an exciting new era. Shook debuts as a solo artist this year, and continues to deliver everything we’ve come to expect from them: killer songwriting, a smoking hot band, and high-energy, heart-winning live shows. We’re excited to announce that River has added support by DLMC and DMF alum ISMAY.

You can catch them right back here in Davis Friday, November 13th 2026 at Davis Odd Fellows Hall, doors open at 7pm with music at 8pm (support TBA). This is a guaranteed DLMC member supported event, so members – you’re already on the will-call list. Everyone else, hit the link for tickets now!

“My songwriting, my music, they’re country to the bone, but it’s that rock n’ roll element that makes the whole thing lift off,” says Shook. “If you want to give fans an unforgettable show every night, you need that reckless energy and purity of spirit.”

We’re throwing a pre-Davis Music Fest party with our partners at Sudwerk Brewing Co. featuring soul, groove, funk, and jazz with local cosmic salsa legends Boca do Rio and San Francisco’s rising starts The Heeters. That’s right, we’re taking over the Sudwerk Dock Store’s Hopyard Stage Friday, June 5, 7-10pm for a night of infectious rhythm and fun!

Boca do Rio started flowing when Kevin Welch from Vivendo de Pao and Alex Calatayud from Entre Nos formed a musical partnership in the late nineties that would redefine Brazilian music in the Bay Area. They are backed by a band locals will recognize as the very funky Big Sticky Mess.

Soul, R&B and Funk from the Bay Area, California. Deep grooves, tight three-part harmonies, and songs that will uplift your spirit. The Heeters is comprised of Tom Quell (vocals/guitar), Nadav Beary (drums), and two members of The California Honeydrops (Lorenzo Loera on keys and Miles Blackwell on bass. Lorenzo and Tom co-write the songs, which have that classic soul sound & those catchy hooks–with a personality that makes them still unique and relevant within the world of modern music.

​Get your tickets now and wear your dancing shoes!

​DLMC and the City of Davis are teaming up for another blockbuster celebration for this, our nation’s 250th birthday party!

The annual event kicks off with live music at 6:30pm and will wrap up with an epic fireworks display scheduled to begin at 9:40pm.

As always, we have an evening of excellent music lined up, featuring RonKat Spearman’s Katdelic (8pm)with an opening set by local indie rock heroes Rainbow City Park (6:30pm).

A graduate of George Clinton’s P Funk Allstars, RonKat Spearman’s talent spans multiple genres: funk, rock, pop and Afrofuturism; he is a multi-instrumentalist and a prolific songwriter, a triple platinum, Grammy and BMI song writer award winning artist who has has written for and toured with legends. This summer he’s playing High Sierra Music Festival, Joshua Tree Music Festival… and the City of Davis July 4th Celebration! 

Rainbow City Park, named for the play structure right in Community Park where we host this show, is an indie-rock band from Northern California, blending the emotional grit of ‘90s alternative rock with the introspective songwriting of today’s indie scene. Drawing inspiration from artists like Paramore, DIIV, and Pinegrove, the band crafts guitar-driven songs that balance atmosphere, melody, and raw energy.

Formed in early 2022, the band consists of Danielle Judith (lead vocals, guitar), Chris O’Keefe (guitar), Nick Nassab (guitar, vocals), Ryan Williams (drums), and Jake Kaspari (bass). Shortly after forming, RCP began touring extensively throughout Northern California, quickly earning a reputation for their energetic live performances and strong musical chemistry. They finished their year supporting Japanese Breakfast and The National Parks at Sacramento’s Farm-to-Fork Festival.

In 2023, they released “Broken Record / Dad Jeans” and “Convince You”, continuing to refine their sound while maintaining a busy tour schedule including supporting Wild Child at Sacramento’s Concerts in the Park.

In early 2024, “Valentine’s Day 1999” was released to critical acclaim and high praise from the West Coast indie scene. Frontwoman Danielle Judith explores themes of existentialism and family in this ethereal tune. In support of the release, the band toured throughout California, sharing stages with Royel Otis, Katy Kirby, Ben Nicholas of Lucero, Wilt, Mom Cars, Couch Dog, and Sour Widows.

That spring, the group held a weeklong residency at the Panoramic House with producer Mike Davis to record their debut EP. The resulting five-song collection blends washy guitars, dynamic percussion, and intimate lyricism centered on growth and desire. Fall 2024 singles “Complicate This” and “Overgrown“ offered an early glimpse into the collection to come.

The band released their debut EP, Fruitless on February 4th, 2025. Following a series of sold-out hometown shows, RCP embarked on a West Coast tour, reaching new audiences throughout California and the Pacific Northwest. To begin 2026, they shared a live version of “Water Under The Bridge” and has since returned to the studio, currently working on new material to be released this spring.

“Sometimes things just click, music melds, and something special comes together. This was the case for Rainbow City Park… an indie band that is taking off right in our backyard” – The Dirt
