Buffalo Rome
Blending an earthy feel reminiscent of the 1970’s West Coast country rock
scene with today’s contemporary country sound, Buff alo Rome brings a vinyl
vibe to the digital age. Although only together a short time, their
strikingly pure three-part harmony has already earned them a broad audience.
With three individual, unique styles and musical tastes, Michael Visconti,
Kevin Douglas and Billy McCorvey bring their life experiences and life
stories together in a fresh, mature sound that is as lived-in as a pair of
vintage Levi’s.

Asleep at the Wheel
Over the last 40 years, Asleep at the Wheel has stuck to their cause of
keeping western swing music alive and kicking. Along the way they earned
nine Grammy awards, recorded more than 25 albums, and continue to fi ll
venues in a never-ending schedule of one nighters that would make a
vaudevillian dizzy. As frontman Ray Benson puts it, their musical style is
“a giant melting pot” – from cowboy fiddle tunes and country bluegrass, to
blues and swing by the big band greats. It’s a blend that guarantees a night
of toe-tapping, irresistible music.

One Day! One Night! One Community! One Fight!
Come join us at the 10th annual Livermore Relay For Life!!!
Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society's flagship annual
fundraiser. Relays take place all over the country, and for the tenth
consecutive year, Livermore will have its own Relay. It's an incredible
event - last year we raised over $216, 000 for cancer research! But it's
much more than just a fundraiser – it’s an amazing bonding experience.
Virtually everyone has been touched, directly or indirectly, by cancer and a
very important part of this event is celebrating cancer survivors and
remembering those who have lost their battle with cancer. Many cancer
patients look forward to this event all year long and we make this as
special as possible for them.
This will be the fourth year that we are recognizing Care Givers as an
important part of a cancer patients’ life and invite all Care Givers to join
us to
Celebrate, Remember & Fight Back!
This is a 24-hour event, starting at 9am on Saturday, June 23rd and
ending at 9am on Sunday, June 24th, on the track at Livermore High School.
Not only is this a great fundraiser; it’s also lots of FUN! Teams are formed
to raise funds and take turns walking laps. They set up a tent and camp out
at the event. The relationships that develop during this time are
impressive. There are prizes for tent decoration, themed laps, and most
money raised. You’ll also enjoy live entertainment, a variety of games and
activities, raffles, kid’s camp, great food and of course lots and lots of
FUN!!! Many charity walks are geared towards adults only, but Relay For Life
is a very kid friendly, family event where all are welcome.
We are in need of additional volunteers. If you are willing to volunteer
any of your time it would be greatly appreciated. If you are interested
please contact Jacky Poulsen at
VolunteersRFL@gmail.com.
