On an uncharacteristically overcast May morning in Davis, Connor Herdt and Evan Daly of the band Boot Juice sit outside Delta of Venus cafe and munch on breakfast. It’s a favorite spot for the band, most of whom grew up together in the sleepy college town, but they never like…

For such a seriously dedicated artist (or, um, sculptor—we’ll get to that later), Richard Jackson’s art is uncommonly comical. Walking into his exhibition at the Crocker was like walking into a vibrant dick joke. And as a Richard myself, let me tell you that Richards know their way around dick…

GATHER is back to put some spice into those warm Sacramento nights and showcase the booming food capitol that the City of Trees has become. GATHER takes a city block and turns it into a bustling food hall with communal tables set up for outdoor dining, artisanal food vendors, food…

Plug your ears to Elton John’s unmistakably classic songs, and squint until you can no longer make out Taron Egerton’s uncannily good performance, and you might be forgiven for thinking that it’s a few months ago, and you’re watching Bohemian Rhapsody.

OK, so the name of the event is a bit of a groaner, but bear with us on this one; it’s for a good cause. These days, all the books we could ever want are easy to purchase (or pirate) online whenever we want. But despite all our e-readers, tablets…

Sacramento may not be a coastal city, but what we lack in oceanside views, we make up for with our rivers and lakes. From a lazy day of riverside picnicking and inner tubing, to white water rafting on the North Fork, Sacramento has some of the best watersports in the…

Hip-hop is a world art form in 2019. It’s on virtually every continent, spit in hundreds of languages. There are government-sanctioned hip-hop boy bands in China. They suck, but that’s not the point. In the early ‘90s when self-made independent rapper, bandleader, producer and comedian Lyrics Born first started out,…

Now that Wide Open Walls (formerly the Sacramento Mural Festival) has been running for three years, our city is quickly becoming one of the nation’s leading patrons of urban art.
