For nearly four decades, Steve Connelly has been a totem of the Bay area rock scene.

He’s famous, in part, for founding The Headlights, a lodestar of the local scene from the early 1980s-mid-’90s that once did a stint backing up ex-Byrd Roger McGuinn and played “The Tonight Show.”

He’s also lent his ear and touch to countless bands at his Zen Recording studio, so be ready to see a load of special guests—including rhythm section bassist TJ Glowacki on bass, drummer Michael Garrie, and guitarist Rich Sheldon—pay homage and try to keep up with a godfather of Bay area rock guitarists at this gig.

There’s no cover for the Steve Connelly 70th birthday concert at Dunedin Brewery on Friday, June 30. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
