- June 21st with The Rubinoos at the Great American Music Hall SF. The Rubinoos are Jon Rubin, Tommy Dunbar, Al Chan, and Suzy Davis. Individually, these folks are amazing performers. Together, they're even greater than the sum of all of their parts (kind of like the Beatles, only funnier).This is a rare perfomance by the Rubes, due to the reclusive nature of the founding members. So if you like great melodic Rock songs with fantastic vocal harmonies, and a sense of humor, this show is not to be missed.
