There’s nothing like rock veterans coming together to make new music. The members of Cast of Clowns have played with the likes of Santana, Ray Charles, Sly Stone and the Jerry Garcia Band, and together, they jam to lyrics from the Grateful Dead’s Robert Hunter and the original tunes of founder Craig Wright. With bassist extraordinaire Bobby Vega, the band tours this summer between recording sessions for their new album. Catch them at one of the shows this weekend on Friday and Saturday, July 22 and 23, at 9:30pm at Aubergine (755 Petaluma Ave., Sebastopol; $12–$15; 707.861.9190) and Saturday, July 23, 4:30pm, at the San Geronimo Music Festival (San Geronimo Valley Community Center, 6350 Sir Frances Drake Blvd., San Geronimo; $20–$25; 415.488.8888).
