The great folks behind Davis Music Festival recently announced this year’s lineup as well as the venues that will be involved in the two-day shindig, going down on Saturday, June 22 and Sunday, June 23 at more than a dozen Davis venues such as Delta of Venus, Sophia’s, Central Park, City Tavern and more. New this year is the inclusion of the Mondavi Center as a DMF venue, a major score for the small, burgeoning music festival. There are more than 50 artists scheduled to play throughout the two days, both regional and touring, ranging from hard-hitting metal acts like Black Mackerel and Horseneck to folksy-indie bands like Chico, Calif.’s Surrogate and Sacramento’s darlings Sea of Bees. Singer/songwriter JD McPherson (who Rolling Stone labeled an “artist to watch” just last year) is one of the larger billings on the alphabetically listed flier that DMF uploaded to their website (http://davismusicfest.com/), as is John Vanderslice, Jon Langford, and Chuck Prophet & The Mission Express. The actual schedule that announces who plays when and where has yet to be released, so keep an eye out on their website and at https://www.facebook.com/davismusicfest for more information, but for now, fans of live music might as well just block off June 22 and 23, becuase Davis is where you’ll want to be!
