Music festival returns after COVID hiatus
Blues rocker Clark, indie-pop outfit set for Sonoma Harvest
The Sonoma Harvest Music Festival is set to return to the B.R. Cohn Winery in Glen Ellen for the first time in three years, after a break because of the COVID-19 pandemic, with Texas blues-rock musician Gary Clark Jr. and indie-pop outfit Portugal. The Man as its headliners.
“We are happy to be bringing music back to the Sonoma Valley,” Dave Graham, a partner with BottleRock Presents, which also produces the BottleRock Napa Valley Festival, said in a statement. “B.R. Cohn Winery is the perfect venue to experience incredible music in a beautiful, intimate setting. We’re looking forward to enjoying these great musicians in the Sonoma wine country this fall.”
The festival, set to return Oct. 8-9, also features the world music act Thievery Corporation, country star Anderson East, alt-rock band Magic Giant and Hawaiian singer-songwriter Lily Meola on the first day, before Clark takes the stage. The bill for the second day, headlined by Portugal. The Man, includes dance-pop duo Phantogram, Stanford alum and rapper K.Flay, Los Angeles pop-rock band the Wrecks and multi-instrumentalist Yoke Lore.
Single and two-day festival passes, starting at $149 for general admission and up to $549 for VIP access, are available at https://sonomaharvest musicfestival.com.
BottleRock Presents staged the introductory Sonoma Harvest Music Festival in 2018, repeating the formula of pairing live music with Northern California’s distinctive mix of food and wine offerings in a more intimate setting.
Many of the artists appearing on the bill for this year’s concert previously appeared at BottleRock.
Before the pandemic, organizers expanded the festival to take place over two consecutive weekends but the 2020 concerts, with headliners Empire of the Sun and Modest Mouse, were canceled.
The Sonoma Harvest Music Festival benefits Sonoma County Regional Parks Foundation.
