Sunday, June 2, 2013's Lowdown

 

OK, if you didn't head down to the Summer Arts and Music Festival Saturday, you missed Gaudi, Moksha and Yogoman Burning Band. We can't help you now. Sorry.

But! If you head down Sunday you can still catch sets by Bay Area Gypsy party rockers Diego's Umbrella, filthy groove purveyors Dumpstaphunk with Ivan Neville (above), and local folky bluegrass group the Blackberry Bushes Stringband (see below).

That feels good, right? Other less sunny options farther down in Sunday's Lowdown.
