The opening day of the 85th season not only celebrated the kick-off of the admission-free Bay Area concert series, but marked the first time the meadow allowed in-person audiences since a water main rupture caused \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13901869/stern-grove-finale-with-too-hort-tower-of-power-canceled-due-to-flooding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">extensive damage\u003c/a> in August 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The season opening featured a double bill with two East Bay legends: R&B and funk band Tower of Power and rapper Too $hort. (They were supposed to close out the 2021 Stern Grove season, but the show was postponed because of the flood.) Longtime fan Lisa Bazurto has attended several Stern Grove concerts over the years and was excited to see the festival pick up right where it left off. Bazurto was one of the thousands who could be spotted dancing and enjoying live music in the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I came out here to celebrate life again and get moving,” Bazurto said. “I had tickets for the last year that got canceled, so I’m happy to be here again for the reopening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13914718\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13914718\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/Tower-of-Power-perform-at-Stern-Grove-Festival-on-Sunday-June-12-2022.-Estefany-Gonzalez006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/Tower-of-Power-perform-at-Stern-Grove-Festival-on-Sunday-June-12-2022.-Estefany-Gonzalez006.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/Tower-of-Power-perform-at-Stern-Grove-Festival-on-Sunday-June-12-2022.-Estefany-Gonzalez006-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/Tower-of-Power-perform-at-Stern-Grove-Festival-on-Sunday-June-12-2022.-Estefany-Gonzalez006-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tower of Power perform at Stern Grove Festival on Sunday, June 12, 2022. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Beyond live music, the festival is a San Francisco cultural staple.

She said obtaining the free tickets was competitive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My homegirl was like, ‘You have to be at the computer at 2.’ And I was there at like 1:59, and I still had to refresh a couple of times, but I got two tickets,” Berry said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raylene Gorum, who attended Stern Grove Festival with friend Danelle James, said it’s refreshing to attend a festival where music is the focus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So much of the music experience has been commoditized,” Gorum said. “You have to buy everything from the venue. We donated and [the donation box] says ‘music for all,’ and it truly is. Maybe people, because it’s free, get introduced to new musicians, and that’s the kind of priceless experience that Stern Grove and the free ticket offers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure

Sanders’ work is deeply spiritual and psychedelic: “The Creator Has a Master Plan,” a thirty-minute composition that oscillates between breezy instrumentation, R&B vocals, and abstract chanting, exemplifies his innovative blend of jazz with Eastern influences and popular music.

Sanders’ work is deeply spiritual and psychedelic: “The Creator Has a Master Plan,” a thirty-minute composition that oscillates between breezy instrumentation, R&B vocals, and abstract chanting, exemplifies his innovative blend of jazz with Eastern influences and popular music.
