Livermore, CA – During the summer months, reflecting the many out-of-town vacations by our community, Livermore Valley Arts notably has fewer performances compared to the rest of the year, but that does not mean that the artists coming through the Tri-Valley will be lacking at all in regards to talent and star quality! The cheerful warm months at The Bankhead kick off with a return engagement from the triumphant and moving Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir on June 21, with exciting summer Fridays continuing with aloha ambassador and ‘ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro, who will be in town on June 28 with his nearly sold out Tradewinds & Rainbows Tour, with very special guest Henry Kapono and featuring Jeff Peterson. The next month, The Bankhead is excited to welcome back the side-splitting and usual Bankhead sellout Best of San Francisco Comedy Competition, hosted by the uproarious Mo Mandel and featuring the hilarious Mike Merrill, on July 19, and multi-platinum singer and songwriter Joan Osborne on July 26. Closing out the sizzling summer months in August, acclaimed pianist and composer Keiko Matsui is back on August 2, the dynamic Freddy Jones Band on August 9 - celebrating the 30th Anniversary of their timeless hit “In a Daydream,” and the perfect family summer closer while the kids are still in those early weeks of the school year, ‘America’s Favorite Mystifier’ and America’s Got Talent Finalist Mike Super is back with his Magic and Illusion 2.OH!™ show on August 23. All of these exciting Friday evening performances, the majority of which are Tri-Valley favorites making patron-requested return visits, will take place at the beautiful Bankhead Theater in Downtown Livermore.
