The Starry Plough reopened Sundays – Wednesdays in early 2022, as yet not open weekends or booking bands. Meanwhile, the PFS dis-banded, a victim of the Eternal Lockdown and playing for beer.

The Polka Cowboys return for a near-yearly appearance at Sunol Regional Wilderness Cowboy Hootenanny, Saturday October 15, 2022 at 11 AM and 2 PM.

From I-680 exit at Calaveras Road (near the town of Sunol.) Turn right at the exit onto Calaveras Road and proceed about four miles to a left turn onto Geary Road, which leads directly into the park. (If you find yourself driving uphill on a narrow winding road you’ve missed the Geary Road turnoff.) To reach the Old Green Barn take the first left after the park entrance.

Possum Family!

The Possum Family Singers are a loose gathering of pesky varmints wailing and playing instruments, with 3 or four-part harmonies, and some darn good singing, too, in the Glam-billy tradition of the West-East Bay, on or under porches from San Leandro to Point Richmond, East to Covelo–and a tip o’ the O’Possum hat to ye from the Ploughy Star!

What makes it happy?  Furry boots,  tiny amps,  fine, goose-bumpery voicings, and cat-slapping fun.

Americana, eclectica, Folk-Rock classics, trads and originals.

Come visit or jump in almost every Saturday from 4-7 pm at the Starry Plough Pub on Shattuck Avenue on the Berkeley/Oakland border.

Draft and bottled beers, tasty pub food and Giant french fries.  No cover–add something to our lovely blinkin’ tippin’ pitcher!  And always tip your bartender.
