What’s Happening at The Center: Summer into Fall Highlights!

From the fairy tale fun of Shrek Jr. (Aug 1–3) to guitar legends Steve Earle (Aug 4) and Leo Kottke & Julian Lage (Aug 8), August brings the heat. September follows with stand-up from the SF Comedy Competition, global grooves from Moonlight Benjamin, and a full-on rock fest with Get the Led Out.

Fall’s just getting started, and it sounds amazing!

An unforgettable evening with Steve Earle is just around the corner and we’re at capacity! Thanks for showing the love, Grass Valley.

Big thanks to our presenting sponsors, KVMR & Montoliva Winery, for keeping the lights on and the music flowing.

From Kottke’s legendary finger-style folk to Lage’s genre-blending improvisations, this performance promises a masterclass in musicianship. Don’t miss this rare and intimate evening with two virtuosos who redefine what the guitar can do.

Ring in 2026 with foot-stomping, fiddle-fueled fun! The Brothers Comatose return to The Center for a high-energy New Year’s Eve celebration you won’t forget.
