Siesta Valley Bowl Music Venue
Siesta Valley Foundation has launched a summer concert series at the Siesta Valley Bowl, formerly the California Shakespeare Theater. It will feature over a dozen shows starting this evening, and there may be room for more acts per the EBMUD agreement that outlines up to 40-50 annual events. A more recent press release pushes up that number to 75-100 performances annually from April to November.
This amphitheater is a small, intimate venue, and it was one of the best venues to watch plays before it closed. The photo above was from a performance I saw in July 2017 - The Glass Menagerie preview.
Sun Valley Bowl is partnering with Blue Note Entertainment Group for talent booking, meaning we should see some great acts come through the venue.
Below is the initial concert series schedule.
