The Pipeline

The San Francisco rap veteran who started out as Dre Dog crosses the Bay to Albany's Ivy Room this Friday, Nov. 6, ahead of a December date at Bottom of the Hill.

Oakland's long-running hard rock band plays Berkeley's Cornerstone this Friday, with no new album on the way and no need for one.

Most Mondays at noon, McFerrin and the vocal group MOTION turn a Berkeley listening room into an improvised choir, and the run goes on through the fall.
