music Feb 8: Soul Salvation at the Napa Valley Opera House

Posted by on Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 11:50 AM

Paul Thorn played the EarleFest stage last year, he told the crowd that he’d written his debut album in an attempt to win back a lost love. But it didn’t work; if anything, it just gave the lady more fuel to “treat me like dirt,” Thorn sardonically told a charmed crowd. Known for his fiery, barnstorming performances and wry humor, Thorn takes the stage in Napa with another soulful, church-raised crooner, Ruthie Foster. Get all the fire-and-brimstone of a good church sermon without all that God stuff when Soul Salvation, featuring Ruthie Foster and Paul Thorn, hits the stage on Wednesday, Feb. 8, at the Napa Valley Opera House. 1030 Main St., Napa. 8pm. $25. 707.226.7372.

music Feb. 3: Winstrong at 19 Broadway

Friday most definitely makes my list of top five favorite movies ever. Best quote? “Puff, puff, give. Puff, puff, give!”—those words of wisdom spoken so eloquently by Ice Cube’s sidekick, Smokey. Cube’s not the only one to take on the green stuff as his muse. Snoop Dogg’s latest album, High School, boasts a suite of songs about the wacky tobacky, and North California—based reggae artist Winstrong finds irie inspiration on his latest album with DJ Jacques, A Tribute to Legends (The Ganja Refix). Interpolating classic reggae and R&B hits with new ganja-culture lyrics (“I like the way you roll it, no diggity, we about to smoke it up”), he fits right into the ever-growing weed lexicon. Winstrong plays on Friday, Feb. 3, at 19 Broadway. 19 Broadway, Fairfax. 10pm. 415.459.1091.

music Feb. 2: Geoff Tate at the Uptown Theatre

Posted by on Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 11:26 AM

My high school years, Queensrÿche’s creepy lullaby “Silent Lucidity” earned major airplay on the local hard-rock station. The song displayed a softer side of the progressive metal band, best known for heavy riffs, long flowing hair and even longer guitar solos. Lead singer Geoff Tate may have less hair now, but he has become quite the wine man, putting out limited edition white and red wines (called “Insania”) with Three Rivers Winery out of Walla Walla, Wash. One could presume that his show in Napa this week is basically a good excuse to go winetasting in the area; see Tate explore lucid dreaming through song on Thursday, Feb. 2, at the Uptown Theatre. 1350 Third St., Napa. 8pm. $25. 707.259.0123.
