The annual Stern Grove Festival kicks off on Sunday, June 12, with a rescheduled concert of last year's planned series closers Tower of Power and Too $hort.
The season closing Big Picnic fundraiser featuring the two famed East Bay acts was canceled when flooding from a broken water main flooded the Grove just days before the late August show date, Flooding washed mud across the concert meadow area in front of the stage and did considerable damage to the backstage area at the venue. According to reports, the initial SFPUC estimates of a $4 million cost to repair the Grove was woefully short.
"I was a little surprised that I was added to the show but then to be involved with a performance that also includes Tower of Power, it's sort of like a historic thing to me because of the torch that they held for Oakland before I was even an artist," $hort said."Even in the early days when I was first learning how to work in a studio, there were people from the Tower of Power camp musicians that were with me, helping me learn my craft.
