Your Weekend: July 19-July 22

Four full days of music, movies and more in and around Petaluma|

THURSDAY

WILDCAT MOUNTAIN

RAMBLERS

Robert Cornelius and Suzanne Suwanda met in 2001 and quickly bonded on both a musical and romantic level. Their combined appreciation and passion for bluegrass and Americana music led to the formation of the Wildcat Mountain Ramblers, where they now make up two-fifths of the five piece band. They cite influences such as Hank Williams, The Grateful Dead and Hazel Dickens. Audience participation, dancing and overall fun is encouraged. The Wildcats currently play over 100 shows a year at festivals, wineries, breweries and public celebrations. If high energy bluegrass tickles your fancy, make sure not to miss out.

THE INCUBATORS

Sonoma County-based singer-songwriter team Katie Freeman and Chris Chappell deliver blues and soul inspired vocals with a hint of country lyricism.

The Incubators have played Bottlerock, Rivertown Revival, Petaluma Music Festival and many local Petaluma locations. The Big Easy. 128 American Alley. 7:30 p.m. No cover. Bigeasypetaluma.com.

SUNDAY

25th ANNIVERSARY

OF THE SANDLOT

“The Sandlot,” the endearing 1993 comedy film, has become an American classic with its story of triumph, perseverance and baseball. Directed and narrated by David Mickey Evans, the film follows a group of kids and their sandlot baseball team in the San Fernando Valley during the summer of 1962. New kid on the block, Scotty Smalls, is welcomed by the team, but things go south when he “borrows” his stepdad’s prized baseball (autographed by Babe Ruth), only to watch it disappear into a fenced yard ruled over by the neighborhood dog known as “The Beast.” James Earl Jones co-stars with a cast of young actors. This special anniversary screening repeats on Monday and Wednesday. Boulevard Cinemas, 200 C St. 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Cinemawest.com.
