SUMMARY:Kyle Rowland Live @ The Melon Ball

SUMMARY:Slattern V Live
DESCRIPTION:Slattern V is a Sacramento-based rock band known for its gritty\, high-energy sound and local-scene pedigree. Formed in the mid-2010s\, Slattern V emerged as a Sacramento supergroup featuring musicians from regional punk and power-pop acts such as The Knockoffs and Mr. T Experience. Their music blends garage rock\, punk\, and melodic indie influences\, often marked by sharp guitar work and driving rhythms. \nArts & Leisure is a Sacramento\, California indie-pop group featuring former members of Baby Grand\, The English Singles\, and Plastic Shoelaces. Their sound fuses ’60s pop sparkle\, ’70s power-pop hooks\, and ’80s new-wave energy\, creating a super-charged\, harmony-rich style that has become a staple of the region’s DIY pop scene. Their album This Vast Illusion\, produced by Allen Clapp of The Orange Peels\, showcases the band’s signature blend of jangly guitars\, melodic vocals\, and upbeat\, shimmering arrangements. \nNolan Erck of “Nolan & The Last Action Heroes” is a musician\, producer\, writer\, and tech entrepreneur active in the Sacramento creative community. He works across multiple disciplines: building apps\, recording artists\, playing guitar and bass in several bands\, and contributing writing and journalism to Sacramento Press. \nPresented by Left of the Dial\, That California Sound\, and KDRT 95.7 FM \n  \n

SUMMARY:Stage Ready Band Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Seven weekly rehearsals. Two live performances. One unforgettable summer. \nWhether you’ve dreamed of joining a band for years or simply want to get beyond practicing alone\,\nStage Ready lets you experience live music from the inside. \nWhen you join the Stage Ready program\, you’ll be matched with fellow musicians from your community. Together\, you’ll build a setlist\, shape your arrangements\, and rehearse as a band at Watermelon Music\, a long-standing Davis institution. Then you’ll take the stage at The Melon Ball performance hall\, and a second public performance at a local venue in Yolo County. \nAlong the way\, you’ll be guided by a professional coach with stage experience\, who will be present at every rehearsal. They’ll give advice\, help solve musical and logistical challenges\, and keep your band on schedule and on track for opening night. \nStage Ready isn’t a sightseeing tour of the music scene. It’s a real band experience. You pick the songs. You shape the sound. You play the show. No backing tracks. No canned accompaniment. Just musicians working together to create something memorable. \nAlong the way\, you’ll develop critical performance skills\, learn how to work effectively with other musicians\, and build connections that can last far beyond the program. The final performance isn’t necessarily the end of the story – it might just be your band’s first gig.
