Dinkelspiel Auditorium

With Albert "Tootie" Heath on drums, the Charles McPherson Quarter plays the Stanford Jazz Festival on Wednesday. For tickets and information, visit stanfordjazz.org.

Phono del Sol Music and Food Festival
July 21, 2012
Potrero del Sol Park
If the colossal size and crowds of festivals like Outside Lands aren't your thing, try the smaller and cooler Phono del Sol festival, that is presented by the Bay Bridged and Tiny Telephone and features local darlings the Fresh and Onlys, among others. For only 7 to 10 bucks, there's really no reason not to. For tickets and information, visit phonodelsol.com.
