Thank You for supporting live music in your community!

This was not an easy list to compile as there were so many magic moments that simply could not fit in the "Top 15" , for example:

Conor Oberst in Felton @ Don Quixote's Music Hall, Kurt Vile (solo sets) in Santa Cruz and Pioneertown, Laura Marling & Michael Chapman in Big Sur, M Ward / fIREHOSE @ Cocoanut Grove in Santa Cruz, King Tuff in Big Sur, tUnE-yArDs @ The Rio in Santa Cruz, Jenny Lewis in Big Sur, Other Lives @ Don Quixote's Music Hall, Cass McCombs in Santa Cruz, Bill Callahan film screening and mini sets in SF & Big Sur, Father John Misty / Magic Trick / Jenny O @ New Parish & DQ's, Communion events in CA, Cairo Gang & Josh Abrams's truly gorgeous and very intimate acoustic set indoors @ Henry Miller Library, John C Riley & Jessica Pratt @ The Chapel in SF and Vetiver @ The Independent, Peaking Lights @ New Parish, Woods, White Fence, Magic Trick @ The Chapel, Nicki Bluhm & The Grambler's @ DQ's, ...just to name a few brilliant nights that will not soon be forgotten and could not fit on this very short year-end list.
