In this eighth year, Whale Rock Music & Arts Festival (formerly known as Beaverstock) will again deliver two stellar days of wine-loving peace and jammin’ in the vines, all benefiting Templeton Music Education. In addition to the headliners, the always eclectic lineup will include Rising Appalachia (roots/folk), La Santa Cecilia (Grammy Award Winning Latin), John Craigie (singer/songwriter), Diggin Dirt (Soul/Funk), Tim Bluhm w/ the Coffis Brothers (Americana rock n roll), Arthur Watership (Folk/Americana), Raquel Rodriguez (soul), Gene Evaro Jr. (Soul/rock/funk), Moorea Massa & the Mood (soul), Women of Whale Rock (local all-star female band), Brass Mash (brass band), Samba Loca (afro-Brazilian), AJ Lee & Blue Summit (Bluegrass), and Wolf Jett (Americana/folk).

Whale Rock Music and Arts Festival features back-to-back band performances on two stages, a gallery of local artists, all-ages yoga, kid crafts and games, Castoro wines, Bethel Rd. spirits, craft beers, hard ciders, food trucks, and more. The Udsen family has gifted event proceeds to local, education-based non-profit organizations each year. Total donated over the first seven years exceeds $100,000. The 2020 benefactor is again the Templeton Instrumental Music Boosters Association (TIMBA), a parent volunteer organization dedicated to enhancing the experiences of Templeton High School musicians. The 2021 Whale Rock Music & Arts Festival will be held Sept. 18-19, amidst Castoro Cellars’ Whale Rock Vineyard in Templeton, California.

Dulcie Taylor Band will be a part of the Atascadero Summer Concert Series -Atascadero local singer-songwriter Dulcie Taylor has several shows in the North County coming up. The Dulcie Taylor Trio will be playing Thursday July 15, from 4-6 p.m. at Stolo Vineyards & Winery in Cambria, and on July 31, the Dulcie Taylor Band will be playing at the Atascadero Lake Park Bandstand as part of the City of Atascadero Summer Concert Series. In March via Mesa/Bluemoon Recordings, Taylor released a six-song EP called Rediscovered. A showcase for Dulcie Taylor’s vocals, Rediscovered is the follow-up to the critically-acclaimed Reimagined EP released last year, of which New Times writer Glenn Starkey wrote: “When Dulcie Taylor left the East Coast for California, it was a gift to local Americana fans. This gifted singer-songwriter fit right into the local music scene, playing all around the Central Coast, winning Best Songwriter in the New Times Music Awards twice. These previously released songs have been ‘remixed, remastered, with some rerecording,’ and the results are nothing short of astonishingly beautiful.” Taylor says in explaining the new disc’s genesis: “I find that whenever we’re recording, there are often different paths one can go down at different points in the process. You may like all the paths but mostly you just choose one. It was so much fun (always a good thing) to go back and revisit these tracks and make some new moves with the spirit of the songs in mind. And it’s like time travel – when we’d bring up a track, it put me right back in the studio where the song was cut with the musicians who played on it. It’s very inspiring to create fresh ideas.”
