Sly Stone Tribute in Novato, CA, March 11, 2026

Thank You, Sly Stone! (Sly Stone Tribute)
Well, this is looking like big fun! I'm sure you guys remember “ Fun” ..
Oh, sorry, I was just daydreaming about the Sly Stone Tribute up in Novato on March 11, 2026!
I can’t wait to throw down with this band! I haven’t performed Sly’s music since the 70’s, just yesterday to some of us! Come on out, platform shoes are optional.
The songs, the feelings!
There are concerts, there are shows, but there is only one event dedicated to letting your hair down, throwing your head back, and dancing like there’s no tomorrow! Y’all have to come on out and help lift the spirits of the Universe. I really hope there’s a full moon so I can howl till the sun comes up!!
See You There !!!!!!
