I believe in Beto! In these challenging times it’s difficult to find someone who speaks honestly from the heart. Someone who truly cares for the people. Beto is a true believer. It was such an amazing experience to play in my hometown to such a warm, enthusiastic audience. #VOTE

ACL has always been an integral part of my musical journey. I've taken part in five tapings and each one has been an extraordinary experience, from the producers to the crew and sound people who have always made me feel part of their family. Thank you for this honor!

“In 1975, College Of Marin film students Alejandro Escovedo and Jeff Olener worked on a no-budget film about a burnt-out rock singer and a talentless rock band. They played the band themselves on stolen equipment. This became one of the earliest SF punk outfits, the Nuns.”
