Rock Notes
- May 2026
- Buongiorno from the west coast
- I am writing this on the eve of our trip to Italy, and I am trying to grasp the basics of speaking Italian, and I wouldn't say that my grasping factor is incredibly high right now. Although I am half Italian, my dad never spoke it. Most of my Italian comes from movies and restaurants in North Beach in San Francisco. And my 70 year old mind is not as porous as it once was, stuff is just not getting through the way it used it. Heck I can't remember half the English words I know most of the time. Just walk into the next room and there it goes….
- Anyway I digress. I just wanted to let you know that The Sorentinos will be playing 4 shows this Summer, and they should all be winners. We have all the dates listed here in the gig section. I am looking forward to getting out and sharing the music, and playing with the band, and putting out good vibes in a world that seems to be very short on good vibes at the time.
- Our first gig will be at the Jack London Lodge which is a beautiful place to listen to music and then two days later we will make a long overdue return to the Novato Arts and Wine Festival which is always a good gig with a big stage and pro sound.
- Then a show at The Redwood Cafe in Cotati, which I am dedicating to my buddy Marcus Ziemer, who passed early this year. We will be playing the whole "Sonoma County Sweet" album, and then a few more hits that Marcus would have liked.
- And then our last gig of the summer is at Waterhawk Lake Club in Rohnert Park, that happens to have the most talented bar manager in the World! That's right... the World. Oh his name is Cappy Sorentino, so I might even be able to swing a free beer!
- So if your around the North Bay, come on by and shake your money maker and enjoy this gorgeous place we live in.
- So until then, Arrivederci, Danny
