SUMMARY:Gutter Swan
DESCRIPTION:Gutter Swan brings a rich Americana sound to the Green & Columbus Stage\, pairing the powerful\, emotive vocals of Loryn Barbeau with the disarming yet complex guitar of Steve Egelman. Barbeau is a native San Franciscan who trained as a classical singer and holds a Master of Music in Operatic Performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music\, while Egelman is a Bay Area veteran who cut his teeth in Thin Lizzy and UFO cover bands and also plays in the whiskey-soaked blues ensemble Mad Mama and The Bona Fide Few. Together since 2015 and united by a love of acoustic music\, the duo released their debut album where the dark and the light mingle in 2019 — twelve songs that capture exactly what their name suggests.

SUMMARY:The Word on the Beach
DESCRIPTION:The Word on the Beach brings the living pulse of Bay Area poetry to the Makers Stage at Broadway & Columbus\, gathering six distinctive voices — Jerry Ferrez\, Ayla Ginger\, Tate Swindell\, Patrick Dunagan\, Sarah Menefee\, and Michael Koch — for an afternoon of verse that is as electric and alive as any instrument on the festival grounds. From the raw to the lyrical\, the personal to the political\, this gathering of poets represents the rich and restless tradition of San Francisco literary culture that has inspired writers and readers for generations.

SUMMARY:Jinx Jones and the Kingtones
DESCRIPTION:Jinx Jones and the Kingtones bring a guitar legend to the Main Stage at Broadway & Columbus\, headlined by a two-time Ameripolitan Music Award nominee for Male Rockabilly Artist of the Year whose career has touched nearly every corner of the electric guitar tradition. From playing alongside Chuck Berry\, Solomon Burke\, and Roy Buchanan to earning gold and platinum records with En Vogue\, Jones has spent decades proving that virtuosity and versatility are not mutually exclusive. His acclaimed string of rockabilly albums — License to Twang\, Rumble & Twang\, Rip and Run\, Live Twang in Finland\, and Twang-Tastic! — make the case for Jones as one of the Bay Area’s most consistently thrilling live acts\, always delivering with grace\, finesse\, and serious twang.

SUMMARY:Heat
DESCRIPTION:Heat takes the Green & Columbus Stage as the self-described “uncanniest rock band in the world” — a Bay Area outfit that has been embracing the weird since founders Enzo and Max Casler started the band in their early twenties with a thoroughly punk rock DIY spirit. After years of Bay Area shows\, lineup changes\, a tour\, and a hiatus\, Heat is back with a fresh collaborative energy\, a new bassist in Darian\, and a new single “Sweat” — dropped the same day as their return show at the Rickshaw Stop. Expect guitar\, vocals\, the occasional theremin\, and a psychedelic\, wonderfully strange rock experience that defies easy categorization.

With a fifth album on the way in 2026 and a rapidly growing international fanbase\, Arya is a homegrown talent who proves that intimate songwriting and festival-stage presence are anything but mutually exclusive.

SUMMARY:Dave Rickets & the Resting Trad Face
DESCRIPTION:Dave Ricketts & The Resting Trad Face bring a lifetime of deep musical devotion to the Makers Stage at Filbert & Grant\, led by guitarist\, vocalist\, songwriter\, and occasional cornetist Dave Ricketts — a formally trained musician whose studies under Michael Chapdelaine at the University of New Mexico laid the foundation for a career that spans gypsy jazz\, blues\, gutbucket\, R&B\, and the roots of early rock and roll. As founder and bandleader of the nationally and internationally celebrated Gaucho Jazz since 2002\, Dave has sold out SFJAZZ Festival concerts\, performed annually at NYC’s legendary Joe’s Pub\, taken Gaucho to Djangofest stages across the country\, and even landed a song in the Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder film Destination Wedding. His musical heart beats somewhere between the pre-Django American jazz guitarists he loves — Nick Lucas\, Eddie Lang\, Lonnie Johnson — and the blues and country giants like Memphis Minnie\, Blind Blake\, and Hank Williams\, with a deep affection for the lost dawn of rock and roll that makes every performance feel like a joyful excavation of America’s most vital musical roots.

SUMMARY:The Unauthorized Rolling Stones
DESCRIPTION:Rudy Colombini and The Unauthorized Rolling Stones bring 25 years of full-throttle rock ‘n’ roll to the Main Stage at Broadway & Columbus\, delivering the raw power\, danger\, and electricity that define a true Rolling Stones concert experience. At the center is frontman Rudy Colombini — a performer with explosive charisma and total command of the stage who doesn’t imitate the Stones so much as inhabit them\, honed by decades of deep study of the band’s live performances. Having shared stages with Elton John\, Journey\, Train\, and Chaka Khan over a quarter century of worldwide shows\, this is as close to the real deal as rock & roll gets.

SUMMARY:The Don Robinson Trio
DESCRIPTION:The Don Robinson Trio brings decades of fearless musical exploration to the Makers Stage at Filbert & Grant\, led by Oakland-based jazz musician Donald Robinson — an intrepid and longstanding figure of the San Francisco Bay Area avant-garde jazz scene whose concept was forged in 1970s Paris studying bebop with pioneer Kenny Clarke and sharpened through collaboration with Cecil Taylor\, Glenn Spearman\, and the Rova Sax Quartet. A long-time student of Chuck Brown and a ground-breaker since the 1970s in Cleveland and Berkeley\, Robinson has spent his career melding funk and improvisational jazz into something utterly his own. His roll call of collaborators — from saxophonists John Tchicai\, Marco Eneidi\, and Larry Ochs to koto player Miya Masaoka and pianist Matthew Goodheart — speaks to a musician who has spent a lifetime pushing at the edges of what jazz can be.

Few bands on the festival circuit can match their combination of raw blues authenticity and sheer horn-powered spectacle.

DESCRIPTION:The Teague Kernan Duo bring soulful\, intimate roots music to the Makers Stage at Filbert & Grant\, led by Teague Kernan — vocalist\, harmonica player\, acoustic guitarist\, and songwriter whose raspy\, soul-filled voice is as honest and lived-in as the city he calls home. A Mission resident and North Beach fixture\, Teague is also the founder of Tupelo\, the beloved North Beach bar and music venue he launched over a decade ago to give the neighborhood one more solid place to grab a bite\, raise a glass\, and hear great live music. There is something fitting about seeing him perform just steps from the room he built — a true San Francisco original\, deeply woven into the fabric of the city on both sides of Broadway.

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.

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.

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: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.
