Hellman Summer Stomp

The music-loving family that has brought the world Hardly Strictly Bluegrass will join with friends for the Hellman Summer Stomp, an evening of excellent music, local fare and good times at Sweetwater Music Hall on Sunday, July 21, starting at 5:30 pm. Featuring the Hellman Family Band and a host of special guest musicians, the Hellman Summer Stomp is an Americana celebration of summer.

The Hellman family is beloved in the Bay Area for Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, a free annual concert started by patriarch Warren Hellman in 2001 as his gift to the city. The family members – most of the musicians in their own right – have formed their own bands and love playing their favorite genres of music. The Hellman Summer Stomp will feature the Hellman Family Band and many special guests, including musicians that have played with Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, The Waybacks, Poor Man’s Whiskey, and more.

Doors will open at 5:30 pm for a buffet of hearty nibbles for the first 100 guests. Tickets are $20 per person and include the buffet (limited to first 100). The show starts at 7:00 pm. Sweetwater Music Hall is located at 19 Corte Madera Avenue in Mill Valley.
