I had the pleasure of
attending this festival some years ago. My husband was the drummer
for Lara Johnston, the daughter of Tom Johnston of the famous Doobie
Brothers. It was so much fun. The City of Marin is located 1.5 miles
northwest of downtown Sausalito and about 5 miles north of San
Francisco. Marin City became real popular in the 90’s, due to it
being the home of Tupac Shakur. In 2010 the population of Marin City
was 2,666. The 15th Annual Marin City Blues, Jazz & Soul Party is
held Labor Day weekend. It is on September 3, 2012 at 100 Drake
Avenue, Marin City, CA 94965 from 12pm to 7pm. This festival supports
the history of the root of the blues and soul music. It also supports
the music education for the children of Marin City. This year’s
festival will have an interactive kid zone, delicious ethnic food &
beverages, local arts and craft vendors, business exhibitors and a
civic information booth. Here is the great musical lineup and times
they will perform.
