HEALDSBURG, CA (April 24, 2019) In its 29th year, the Rodney Strong Summer Concert Series presented by Montgomery Village features great entertainers, award-winning wines, and local food purveyors at the scenic Concert Green & Terrace setting at Rodney Strong Vineyards. The 2019 lineup for one of the most celebrated wine, food, and music events of the summer includes:
Saturday, June 22
Alanis Morissette
Since 1995, Alanis Morissette has been one of the most influential singer-songwriter-musicians in contemporary music. Her deeply expressive music and acoustic performances have earned vast critical praise. Morissette’s 1995 debut, “Jagged Little Pill,” was followed by nine more eclectic and acclaimed albums. She has contributed musically to theatrical releases and has acted on the big and small screen.
Inspired by Morissette’s groundbreaking album, “Jagged Little Pill” made its musical theatre debut in Cambridge, Massachusetts last May and premieres on Broadway this fall.
Sunday, July 14
Rick Springfield and Richard Marx
Over the past four decades, Rick Springfield has worn many hats as an entertainer and performer. He is the creator of some of the finest power-pop of the ’80s, a Grammy winning singer, songwriter, and musician who has sold 25 million albums and scored 17 U.S. Top 40 hits, including “Jessie’s Girl,” “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “An Affair of the Heart,” “I’ve Done Everything for You,” “Love Somebody,” and “Human Touch.”
As a performer, songwriter, musician, and producer, Richard Marx’s career has spanned nearly three decades. He has sold more than 30 million albums and, beginning in 1989, achieved a seven-year string of triumphs that rivaled any in pop-rock music history. To this day, he is the only male artist in history to have his first seven singles reach the Top 5 on the Billboard charts.
Saturday, September 7
The Beach Boys
Few, if any, acts can match The Beach Boys’ concert presence, spirit and performance. With a torrent of hit singles and sold albums by the tens of millions, The Beach Boys’ songs, such as “Surfin,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “I Get Around,” “Help Me Rhonda,” and “California Girls,” have forever changed the musical landscape.
In 2016, The Beach Boys celebrated the 50th anniversary of the hit “Good Vibrations,” which is widely considered one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of rock and roll. The Beach Boys continue to have fun, fun, fun performing, with no end in sight.
