————————————————————-
Here are just some of the places we’ve played (and several we are still playing). We’ve also played many a private party – birthdays, dinners, BBQs, fundraisers, harvest parties, and Winter Holiday parties all over the Bay Area and a bit beyond, including San Francisco, Oakland, Belmont, Guerneville and more. (We have a nice set of Holiday music that we incorporate in with some of our regular repertoire for a mix of music that people always appreciate). Call, text or email us, (707) 888-4524, lark@lark.net so we can come play for you too!
- Guerneville Art Walk, Guerneville – 1st Saturday of the month – ever since they started several years ago. They keep asking us back to do a couple of outdoor shows each year and we keep saying yes; always some fun people and a good time.
- Osher Marin JCC, San Rafael – played for their weekly Happy Hour. A great time for all ages – kids, teens, parents, grandparents.
- MCARE Picnic, Novato – Fun people, wonderful BBQ picnic and a great time. (We love it when the feed the band too!)
- PorchFest San Rafael – So fun playing for LOTS of people at this now crazy-popular yearly event.
- Marin Lutheran Church 75th Anniversary Party – Jim and his lovely wife invited the Larkdales to help them celebrate their 75th anniversary. We had some attendees join us; one of whom played the spoons (spoons!) and was excellent!
- Karah Estate Vineyards, Cotati – Played a couple of times there before they were sold; next time we’re bringing an Aeolian wind harp to add some texture to our music for the wind.
- Spicy Vines Winery, Healdsburg – These guys make some really good wine and are so fun.
- P.S. – We are actively looking for winery gigs! Call or text or email: (707) 888-4524, lark@lark.net
- Farmers Markets – We’ve played for several of them, including the Marin Country Mart, Larkspur; The Petaluma Farmers Market; Sebastopol Farmers Market; Kensington Farmers Market and the Downtown San Rafael Market (sadly not happening anymore).
- Occidental Center for the Arts – We loved playing there with some other Sonoma County acts; beautiful acoustics, great sound, lovely people. Working on getting there again soon.
- Russian River Chamber Holiday Party – The crowd had a great time and got rowdier as the evening went on so we did too!
- Nazz Coffee House, Novato – Warm, wonderful folks came to this event. Really great to play for them.
- Ounces Outdoors, Terra Linda – Nice crowd who particularly liked our pirate songs, who knew? We’ve played there a couple of times now.
- Way Station, Fairfax – Great crowd and some of our favorite Marin friends, what’s not to like?
- Folkish Festival, Marin Country Mart, Larkspur – This was a fun Sunday afternoon several-month festival that the Marin Country Mart put on after the Farmers’ Market closed to encourage people to have a bite to eat and stay awhile – which they did.
- Aqus Cafe, Petaluma – before Covid struck, we played at the Aqus several times. They kinda sorta gave us our start and are near and dear to our hearts.
- Stringband Competition, Berkeley Old Time Music Festival, Berkeley – Definitely acoustic! One of the prizes was “best bribe to the judges”. Wouldn’t you know it, the year we played they didn’t have that competition! However, the following year, they “backdated” the award and we got first prize! Ask us about it the next time you see us (if we say so ourselves, it was fun and a good story!).
- Harmony Sweepstakes 2017, San Francisco – The Larkdales started out as an a cappella trio, and then then decided to add in guitar and bass. For this show we did a couple of beautiful a cappella songs, and then brought the house down with “I Can See Your Aura” by Marley’s Ghost. Our version has a “vocal tabla” feel to it.
- San Geronimo Presbyterian Church, San Geronimo – They wanted some old-time Gospel tunes for a special service, and we have a few great ones in our repertoire that they enjoyed.
