Found in the Auburn FB page. I know y'all are out there!

Hey people with excellent taste in music! The wait is finally over…the first Crazy Horse production of the season at Rosebud Ranch has been revealed and it’s a Summer Solstice celebration of epic proportions. This will be the first time in the venue’s six-year history that a band has been repeated. However, the definition of “repeat” is used very loosely in this case. Bone Diggers: Paul Simon Dance Jams is a phenomenon that can’t be duplicated. It’s like a rainbow, a spider web or a lightning storm; Just as spontaneous and organic as anything nature can conjure. You won’t hear “You Can Call Me Al.” You won’t hear “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” performed even close to how it was conjured when this band played the most memorable Rosebud show ever in October of ’24. You will be witness to the breathtaking beauty of artistic creation in pure collaboration with spectacular natural surroundings and a group of humanity operating on a unified frequency.

Located just five miles from downtown Nevada City, this natural amphitheater is a stone’s throw from the Old 49 Bridge on the South Yuba River. It’s one of those special places on earth where your mood feels instantly elevated once setting foot on the land. For those looking to fully tune out from the craziness of the world, this is the answer for you. An evening at Rosebud is like a full reboot for the soul!

Over the last six years, it has become a coveted destination for music lovers seeking a space that seems to exist in a realm parallel to reality where imagination takes flight into blissful frontiers. It’s a very relaxed setting where many people set up chairs and blankets on the hillside, bring their own food and beverages, meet new friends and just soak up the vibes. There will also be a hot dog stand with a garden-fresh ferment bar. Dancers love the spongey astro turf dancefloor which invites freedom of movement unlike any other. Rosebud is an all-ages venue where the music starts early around 7 and ends by 11. The bonfire will be roaring and magic will be afoot.

Bone Diggers was hatched many years ago from the brilliant mind of master innovator, guitarist Reed Mathis (Billy & the Kids, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, Steve Kimock & Friends, Golden Gate Wingmen). “Paul Simon Dance Jams” are served up as a multi-course meal of dynamic, musical intrigue. This is not a tribute band! However, a collective love for the music of Paul Simon will be ignited like never before. The resonance of songs both familiar and totally unexpected will awaken all of our senses. You’ll witness these classic songs soar into the stratosphere in ways beyond ordinary comprehension. Last time there was a moment deep in the show when “American Tune” took flight and the entire audience was whisked up into the heavens. We don’t place expectations on such things, yet those who have been to Rosebud before understand that this is the norm.

The band features two members of ALO including the iconic Dan “Lebo” Lebowitz on guitar and Steve Adams on bass. Much of Paul Simon’s later music is defined by rhythm and there’s no one who represents that with more nuance and passion than drummer Scotty Rager (Tea Leaf Green). Weaving melodic moonbeams, exploring the sonic cosmos and taking the occasional zydeco foray on keys, we have the great Mookie Siegel (David Nelson Band). This will be Lebo’s fourth visit to Rosebud Ranch, having previously performed here with magicgravy and Lebo & Friends. He was upset not to play here last year, so he’s all bottled up and ready to explode!

Bone Diggers only play a handful of shows each year, so don’t miss this rare opportunity to see them in action. In recent years, they have been pegged as the penultimate band performing late night in Denver after Phish at Dick’s. That says a lot! After seeing them initially at the Crazy Horse Saloon many years ago, my appreciation for the music of Paul Simon catapulted into a whole new dimension. Songs from Graceland, Rhythm of the Saints and the older catalog were reinvented with a heavy infusion of heartfelt, improvisational splendor. The wide-open space of Rosebud is sure to bring out their very best as it does for every band that plays here.

The exact location of Rosebud Ranch and all the details needed for attendance will be emailed to you as soon as possible after your ticket purchase.
