About

This marks the fifth year for what has become one of the most widely recognized events on the west coast summer festival circuit. The Petaluma Music Festival takes place on Saturday, August 4th, 2012, at the Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds & Event Center in Petaluma.
With past performances by national acts like Trombone Shorty, The Devil Makes Three, ALO and The Mother Hips, festival goers are always treated to a day full of a great variety of music.

This year is no exception. Performing at the 2012 Petaluma Music Festival are roots-rock bluesman Jackie Greene, the funk and groove of The Pimps of Joytime, the high-octane hootenanny of Poor Man’s Whiskey, the ‘ambassadors of San Francisco gypsy rock’ Diego’s Umbrella, rocking country soul singer Nicki Bluhm & the Gramblers, psychedelic southern rock quintet Truth & Salvage Co., and the punk tinged bluegrass of Old Man Markley. Joining these national headliners are Bay Area favorites Forrest Day, Highway Poets, Smokehouse Gamblers, The Pulsators, King Washington, Lost Dog Found, Steve Pile Band, Bobby Jo Valentine, Frobeck, and The Peter Welker Sextet.

Rounding out the day are the Wine & Food Tasting Pavilion presented by Whole Foods, silent auction, celebrity autographed guitar raffle, and a variety of specialty food, craft, and merchandise vendors. The presenting community partner is the Lagunitas Brewing Company.

All festival proceeds benefit the music education programs in all Petaluma area public schools.
