KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Moore Family Winery's summer concert series will feature the group the Wonderbread 5 on Saturday, June 27.
Doors open at 6 p.m. at the winery, located at 11990 Bottle Rock Road.
For more than a decade, the Wonderbread 5 have been thrilling audiences while maintaining its original band line up.
Michael, Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon and Action Jackson round out this unstoppable, international rock and roll party machine.
Unlike those “other party bands” that seem to plug in a new member every month or so and play the same tired songs from the 1980s, the Wonderbread 5 covers everything from Motown to Bean-town and back again.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, these globe trotting rockers have performed their amazing stage show in over a dozen states (several times each) and have traveled as far as Puerto Rico, Hawaii and Mexico, bringing an unparalleled excitement to the young and not so young alike.
Tickets are $15, with children ages 13 and younger welcome to attend for free.
A barbecue dinner also will be available for purchase.

COBB, Calif. – The Friends of Boggs Mountain (FOBM) cordially invite the community to a delightful melding of music and nature with Karen Rhoads at the classical piano on Saturday, June 27, at Boggs Mountain Demonstration State Forest.
Rhoads will play from 10 to 10:45 a.m. and again from 11:15 a.m. to noon. Admission is free.
Rhoads is a Cobb resident and FOBM board member. While growing up in Springfield, Ill., she studied piano with several teachers, most notably, with well-known instructor, George Ecklund.
“I had drifted away from my music over many years. As my parents aged and became ill, I wanted to reach back to good times when we enjoyed music together,” said Rhoads.
The head of the Santa Rosa Junior College music department put Rhoads in touch with Dr. Rudolph Budginas to help her get back “in the groove.”
“Rudolph not only has a performance career; he is that rare genius who also teaches brilliantly,” she adds.
Rhoads will play favorite selections by Bach, Chopin, Schumann, Scriabin, Grieg and Kuhlau, providing introductory comments about each piece.
The community is invited, and children are welcome. Bring folding chairs or blankets, and relax and enjoy the music in a shady grove at Boggs.
The site is wheelchair-accessible with assistance. Refreshments will be provided.
Boggs Mountain Demonstration State Forest is at the end of Forestry Road, about 1.5 miles north of Cobb off Highway 175.
