CELEBRATE COMMUNITY

The performing arts world has been hard hit by the pandemic, significantly affecting artists across the spectrum as well as venues and theaters such as the Bankhead. “Vineyard Vibes” is a truly local effort to support the survival of the arts in the Tri-Valley. Retzlaff Vineyards has made their stage available for the events, which will be recorded and edited by Advance Creative, a full service video production agency located in Livermore. LVPAC’s staff now includes a trained COVID-19 compliance officer to ensure safety requirements are met during recording at the private facility. Advance Creative is donating their services to support the effort, as are the performers. “Vineyard Vibes” is sponsored in part by the Bankhead Theater’s 2020-2021 Season Sponsor, UNCLE Credit Union.

In the spirit of supporting the community, audiences are encouraged to pick up a bottle of Retzlaff Vineyards wine and dinner from one of many local restaurants that are open for takeout, including Bankhead Theater ticketback sponsors – Uncle Yu’s at the Vineyard, Dimitri’s Taverna, or Hops and Sessions – to enjoy while watching the virtual concert!

Note: Registration allows access to the complete concert broadcast beginning at 6pm on each concert date and extending for 24 hours.
