Rockin’ In The New World

Live music is gradually emerging into the new, COVID world. Georgia Fats brought their rocking blues to the front lawn of the Roberts Creek Legion on Friday, July 17. Tables were socially-distanced, food service was an outdoor barbeque and patrons followed one-way aisles to buy drinks – one at a time – at the bar. It’s a new normal for the RC Legion, previously the scene of late-night dancing on weekends: now it’s open Fridays and Saturdays 4-8pm (for the summer at least), with music 5-7pm. With COVID rules capping attendance at 50 people, the legion is selling advance tickets at rclegionevents.com. And while the rules still prohibit a dance floor, it is possible to dance a little on the grass, at your own table. The Roberts Creek Legion is one of a handful of venues now offering live music on the Coast – see What’s Happening, page 8. John Gibbs photo
