Live Music in the North State: April 11 – April 17

 

 

The Oaksong Music Society presents Karen Savoca and Pete Heitzman at the Pilgrim Congregational Church this Saturday, April 14.

From jazz to blues, touring acts and local favorites, it’s a good week to get out on the town. Heck, you can even catch a psychobilly punk band from Bogata, Columbia.  Also, it’s worth noting that Market Street Steakhouse has resumed live music on occasional Wednesdays, and we have a new music venue in The Brasserie in Redding. Enjoy.
