SUMMARY:Veronica Margaret
DESCRIPTION:Veronica Margaret takes the Makers Stage at Filbert & Grant for the North Beach Festival with the quiet\, unhurried charm of an Edwardian ghost — a San Francisco folk singer-songwriter who haunts the city’s cafes with her six-string and a gift for spinning elaborate stories about people who may never have existed\, but feel completely real once she starts singing.

SUMMARY:Jules Broussard
DESCRIPTION:Louisiana-born living legend Jules Broussard has been blowing away Bay Area audiences with his double-saxophone serenades and soulful solos for over 60 years\, sharing stages and studios with Alice Coltrane\, Van Morrison\, and Carlos Santana across an 88-year life well lived in music. At the Green & Columbus Stage\, Broussard brings his freshly minted New Orleans Jazz Band — Bay Area jazz veterans Ned Boynton on guitar\, Kevin Gerzevitz on piano/keys\, Bob Blankenship on drums\, and Derek Evans on vocals — fresh off residencies in North Beach and Fairfax. It’s rare to catch this much living history in an open-air festival setting\, but this is your lucky afternoon in the heart of North Beach.

A fixture at Les Joulins Jazz Bistro for nearly two decades and a performer at festivals in Sweden\, Copenhagen\, Amsterdam\, and Paris\, Unger approaches music as a spiritual mission — and he has a smile that welcomes every last member of the crowd to the party.

SUMMARY:Valeriana Q and the Swinging Gatos
DESCRIPTION:Valeriana Q and the Swingin’ Gatos bring a joyful\, cross-generational mix of song and style to the Green & Columbus Stage\, with vocalist Valeriana Q drawing on a performing life that runs deep in North Beach history. A proud veteran of Beach Blanket Babylon from 1995 until its closing\, she carries on a family legacy rooted in the neighborhood — her father\, Armando Duval Quevedo\, held court at the legendary supper club The Sinaloa from the 1950s through the 70s as MC\, singer\, percussionist\, and dancer. Joined by Chris Pimentel\, Marc Levine\, Gerry Kennett\, and Sammy Ramirez\, this is a band that knows how to keep a crowd dancing and smiling from the first note to the last.

SUMMARY:The Good Bad
DESCRIPTION:The Good Bad bring their high-octane string music and three-part harmonies to the Makers Stage at Filbert & Grant\, a San Francisco bluegrass quintet formed in 2010 by Aaron Lanes and Thom Beneudici that has spent the past decade and a half building a devoted following across the Bay Area and well beyond. The five-piece — Aaron Lanes (mandolin\, guitar\, vocals)\, Peter Domenici (banjo\, vocals)\, Tom Conneely (guitar\, vocals)\, Gabe Wheaton (fiddle\, vocals)\, and Noah Zisser (bass\, vocals) — weaves original songwriting together with traditional and contemporary bluegrass\, pop\, and Top 40 favorites into a set that is as versatile as it is virtuosic. Having shared stages with The Brothers Comatose\, The Lil Smokies\, Della Mae\, and Front Country\, toured Europe\, and played prestigious festivals like Winter Wondergrass\, The Good Bad arrive at The North Beach Festival with serious road-tested chops and the kind of infectious energy that turns a crowd into a community.

SUMMARY:Marc and the Contenders
DESCRIPTION:Marc and the Contenders bring the Bay Area’s premier Waylon Jennings tribute to the Green & Columbus Stage\, delivering the outlaw country legend’s music with the passion and authenticity it deserves.

Whether you saw Waylon live back in the day or are just discovering the magic of “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys\,” Marc and the Contenders promise a set of pure musical storytelling in the heart of North Beach.

SUMMARY:Howell Devine
DESCRIPTION:Howell Devine bring their hypnotic Hill Country and Delta Blues to the Main Stage at Broadway & Columbus\, a trio whose rollicking\, deeply rhythmic take on rural blues stands in stark contrast to anything else on the festival circuit today — a sound distinctive enough to make them the first blues act signed to the legendary Arhoolie Records by founder Chris Strachwitz in over 25 years. At the heart of the band is triple-threat Joshua Howell — guitarist\, harmonica player\, vocalist\, and co-founder of the Howell & Forsyth Guitar Company — whose deep roots in the techniques of Mississippi greats like Fred McDowell\, Bukka White\, Robert Johnson\, and RL Burnside shape every note he plays. Veteran upright bassist Joe Kyle Jr.\, who has shared stages with Emmylou Harris\, Elvis Costello\, Gillian Welch\, and Bela Fleck among many others\, joins drummer J. Hansen to complete a trio that mixes rural blues with wildly syncopated rhythms into something propulsive\, alive\, and utterly unforgettable.

SUMMARY:Jose Simioni Trio
DESCRIPTION:The Jose Simioni Trio brings a singular\, deeply personal sound to the Makers Stage at Filbert & Grant\, led by a North Beach fixture for over two decades — a self-taught master whose sophisticated\, gritty blend of jazz\, blues\, and rock defies easy categorization. Influenced by everyone from Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton to jazz greats Joe Pass and Jim Hall\, Simioni has synthesized these icons into a voice entirely his own\, moving seamlessly from floating\, lazy melodies to a rocking\, soulful growl that only a veteran of the Grant Avenue circuit can deliver. Originally arriving in San Francisco from Washington D.C. with nothing but a guitar\, an amp\, and a sleeping bag\, Simioni has since become a living cornerstone of the city’s blues and jazz tradition — and an afternoon with his trio is nothing short of a masterclass in musical identity.

SUMMARY:Tibbets Corner
DESCRIPTION:Tibbets Corner bring their raw\, hometown energy to the Makers Stage at Filbert & Grant\, a pub folk and punk outfit rooted in San Francisco’s own garage rock tradition\, led by Jon Brooder and Stanley Goldstein. Veterans of the city’s live circuit — including Civic Center stages — they deliver the kind of scrappy\, spirited performances that remind you why San Francisco has always been one of rock and roll’s most fertile grounds. Unpretentious\, loud\, and absolutely alive\, Tibbets Corner are SF’s own.
