Rebels & Renegades Music Festival

Starting a brand-new music festival is a risk – it takes trust to be willing to take a leap of faith. Dan and Amy Sheehan of Good Vibez Presents are taking the leap, and diving deep into the world of Americana music, with the inaugural Rebels & Renegades Music Festival. Well-known locally for their work organizing the Cali Roots festival, the Sheehans have been tinkering with this idea since at least 2019. Both listen to a lot of Americana/bluegrass and alt-country music, and they’ve been wanting to organize a festival in a different genre for a while. This year that vision will finally take the stage(s) at the Monterey County Fair and Event Center in a bid to become another long-running, beloved annual music festival. “It’s all a grand experiment – which makes it fun and exciting,” Amy says.

Monterey Symphony – Emergence

This kickoff of the Monterey Symphony’s 2022-2023 season also marks the first concert by new Symphony Music Director Jayce Ogren. After a search, which included live, in-concert job interview performances for four finalists, the organization settled on the multi-talented Ogren. “Emergence,” his first outing in the role, will begin with Igor Stravinsky’s Berceuse and Finale from The Firebird before moving to the music of Steven Macky, Puccini and more. “I think I’ve established a bit of a calling card of conducting the stuff that is challenging and can push the envelope,” Ogren told the Weekly when he got the job. Here’s a chance to hear what he’s bringing to the table. [TCL]

Christmas in the Adobes

One of the loveliest features of downtown Monterey is its historic adobes, each of which tells a story of California’s first capital, and the people who lived there. This festive annual weekend is a rare chance to get the feeling for what it would have really been like in Spanish Alta California, with music, dance, treats and a sprinkling of historical information thanks to volunteers in period dress. Walk around town and explore the lovingly decorated adobes, and their history. Some of these buildings are mostly closed to the public, and open just for this holiday occasion, which is also a fundraiser for Monterey State Historic Park. Check in at Pacific House, then just follow the candle-lit walkways. [SR]
