Sat 9/9 3rd Annual Napa Valley Cowboy Poetry and Music Gathering (7p)($20)

Tix reservations: lincolntheater.com

In this 3rd annual show at Lincoln Theater, hear from musicians, poets, and storytellers as they share their experiences of hard work and emotion on the Western terrain. Started three decades ago, The Elko Cowboy Poetry Gathering began as a place for cowboys and ranchers to share poems about their lives. Experience Cowboy Poetry and get a taste of the West as part of National Cowboy Poetry Gathering on the Road. What was once labeled as a tribe is now a nation of artisans who share their love of Western cowboy culture. Declared by journalists as "the most honest and open-hearted festival in America" and described by ranchers as "the highest concentration of lies in any one place at any one time" audiences are in for a treat! Taking the stage this year will be Gail Steiger, Caitlyn Taussi, Amy Hale Auker and Ramblin' Jack

PLEASE NOTE: This show will be at CIA at Copia (500 1st St. Napa CA 94559) beginning at 6pm.

Sat 9/16 Willie K at CIA at Copia (6p)($35) Tix reservations: lincolntheater.com

PLEASE NOTE: This show will be at CIA at Copia (500 1st St. Napa CA 94559) beginning at 6pm.

Willie K - that's "K" for Kahaialii - is, in the words of the Honolulu Weekly, "an amazing guitar virtuoso, a Hawaiian Jimi Hendrix; he's Gabby Pahinui, Andres Segovia, and Eddie Van Halen rolled into one. Willie can mimic seemingly any style, moving easily between screaming Stratocaster, sweet slack key, and jazzy, almost baroque, acoustic 12-string." Besides being a guitar wizard, he also sings and writes gorgeous originals, from rocking blues to tender ballads in the traditional Hawaiian style. Since releasing his debut album in 1992, he has won more than a dozen, Na Hoku Hanohano awards, the Hawaiian equivalent of the Grammy.

Sun 9/17 For the Love of Music: Fall Fusion FREE COMMUNITY CONCERT (3p)FREE Tix reservations: lincolntheater.com

For the Love of Music, our free community concert series, will open the 2017-18 season on September 17th with Fall Fusion, a chamber orchestra performance that will explore new and unexpected variations on classical pieces that embrace the spirit of harvest. The goal of this series is for children, adults and seniors to experience fun, live musical performances by Lincoln Theater's Artists in Residence and special guests from the professional Napa Valley musical community. In 2016 Lincoln Theater debuted its first free community concert, For the Love of Music. It included our Artist in Residence musicians who were joined by Napa's own soprano, Marnie Breckenridge, in an extremely popular program that featured something for everyone - from the great classical composers to arrangements of Lady Gaga. Join us for this wonderful event that the whole family can enjoy! Made Possible in part by: Mechanics Bank, Napa Valley Community Foundation, Festival Napa Valley, Napa Valley Performing Arts Foundation

Sat 10/21 A Night at The Sands-Presented by Shop with a Cop Napa (6p)($45)[21 & over] Tix reservations: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/shop-with-a-cop-napa-presents-a-night-at-the-sands-tickets-35419794559

Join us for an evening of casino games, silent auction, hors d'oeurves by Culinary Institute of America, and indulge in some of Napa's finest wines and beer.

So what exactly is "Shop with a Cop Napa"? The proceeds of this event make our holiday event sponsored by Kiwanis Club of Greater Napa, Napa Target Store #1026, and Napa Police Department Youth Services Bureau possible for disadvantaged youth in Napa Valley. With your help in supporting our event, we are hoping to allow at least 100 of Napa's neediest youth the experience of shopping for holiday gifts for their immediate family members with some of "Napa's finest'. Many of these youth have not experienced the joy of giving unconditionally.

Our second goal through this event is to change perceptions. Now more than ever perceptions of law enforcement personnel must be changed. Current events have left the most vulnerable youth with a less than favorable impression of law enforcement personnel. We hope you join us at this fabulous event!
