CORTE MADERA
SUMMER CONCERTS
2026 Band Line-up
The Corte Madera Community Foundation will continue our long standing tradition of sponsoring music for the community this summer. Music will be from 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM at the Piccolo Pavilion in Menke Park.
Please note that should Menke Park still be under construction when the concert series begins, concerts will be held at Town Park until completion of Menke Park renovations.
Below is the new line-up of bands for the 2026 Corte Madera Summer Concerts.

Corte Madera Town Band

Boot Juice
Boot Juice is a seven-piece band from Davis that goes beyond the usual horn-driven funk and jazz. At their core, they are a cosmic rock band dedicated to transporting audiences into a carefree, dance-filled experience. Their strong musicianship and chemistry shine through in every performance. Often compared to The California Honeydrops for their sound and the Talking Heads for their spirit, Boot Juice delivers a fresh, original style.

Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Ruth Gerson has performed on the Craig Ferguson and Conan O’Brien late night tv shows and was a featured performer at the Newport Folk Festival, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, High Sierra Music Festival, ARTSCAPE, CMJ, and SXSW. She will appear with her band, and there will be a very special opening act, but can't announce yet.

Miko Marks
Miko Marks is a singer and songwriter now based in Oakland. In the early 2000s she had a rising career in country music.

July 19, 2026 | Heavy Soul + Funky Grooves
The Westones
The Westones are a powerhouse supergroup from Oakland, fusing heavy soul, deep-pocket funk, and raw R&B into a sound that’s as timeless as it is fresh.

July 26, 2026 | Americana/Roots
Sugar in the Gourd
Named after a traditional foot-stomping fiddle tune, Sugar in the Gourd is every bit as lively and soulful, blending beautifully crafted original songs that explore life’s full range.

Listeners will enjoy their rich harmonies, dynamic interplay, and musicianship on fiddle, guitar, mandolin, bass, banjo and percussion.

Danny Click and the Hell Yeahs
An anything-can-happen mix of stellar songwriting alternating with blistering blues-rock. When Click brings it down with the strings-inflected “Blue Skies”, you can hear every breath in the room; when he launches into the infectious “Wait My Turn,” there’s not one person who can stay seated.
