"When the Hurricane struck, both the Doobies and Little Feat asked me how they could help," commented Bruce Cohn. "With the B.R. Cohn amphitheatre set for October 1, adding a second show was a natural. I can’t thank the bands, Supervisor Valerie Brown and my staff enough for helping me pull this together"

Parking for the show will be off-site at the Sonoma Developmental Center soccer field, with bus shuttles moving crowds in and out. The show will start at 12:00 noon with doors opening at 11:00 am. Please watch for and follow parking signs at the approach to the B.R. Cohn Winery. Parking and shuttle are included in the price of the ticket.
