The Annual Old Grove Festival takes place at the historic Redwood Forest Theater in Armstrong Redwoods SNR. This beautiful open-air theatre was built in the 1930s. Concerts and theatrical events took place there for decades until the theater was closed in the 1980s out of concern for natural resource protection. In 2006, the theater was reopened for limited use.

Dirty Cello brings the world a high energy and unique spin on blues and bluegrass. “Dirty Cello’s music is all over the map: funky, carnival, romantic, sexy, tangled, electric, fiercely rhythmic, and textured, and only occasionally classical.” Oakland Magazine
