Local Buzz

Who, What, Where, Now!

No Rest for the Active

As we plow into September we have much to be grateful for, including a summer of no monstrous fires, a summer in which good music of all kinds reigned and of course the community’s desire to keep on playing. That’s what we like to see. More. More eclectic music, more film festivals and more vital community interaction.

The Local Buzz will take a brief, end-of-summer break next week, but stay tuned this fall for all that buzzes on the Valley floor.
