Música Del Río is a gathering of friends to enjoy outstanding acoustic music in our living room.
With room for about 60 friends; musicans and singer-songwriters find our house concerts to be a joyous way to share the art of their craft.
100% of the donation you make to attend this gathering goes to the performers. We do this for the love of music, the love of friends to share it with and the love of opening our front door to make it happen.
We invite you to explore these few pages to further understand what we are offering in the way of acoustic music in our home at Música Del Río. We hope you find our efforts to your liking. Without you and others like you, there is no concert. We hope to see you soon.

The Refugees
The Refugees are coming to Música Del Río to start off our 3rd season. Wow! We are honored and blessed to host three of the most powerful voices in music that has come to be known as Americana. As solo artists, Cindy Bullens, Deborah Holland and Wendy Weldman would be welcome here any day. As The Refugees, having these women grace us with their music together is a treat we have been looking forward to all year.
 Described
as the female version of Crosby, Stills and Nash with humor, The
Refugees have more than three decades of experience in the industry
between them, nineteen solo albums, multiple Grammy Award nominations,
and musical styles that blend country, rock, folk, and Americana.
Having spent a lot of her
time writing and recording in Nashville, Cindy Bullens actually got her
start as a back-up singer for Elton John and has toured extensively
with him over the years. The diversity of her musical prowess is
remarkable including many Grammy nominations and the collaboration on a
Broadway show.
Deborah
Holland began her career as a founding member of Animal Logic along
with Stewart Copeland and Stanley Clarke. Deborah went on to release
many solo albums and write songs for film and television. Along with
her solo work and The Refugees, she is a professor of music at
California State University, Los Angeles.
Since first founding her
band, Bryndle in the 1970’s with Kenny Edwards and Karla Bonoff, Wendy
Waldman has been recognized as one of the leading recording artists and
songwriters in contemporary acoustic music. Wendy, as a songwriter, is
responsible for some of the best loved and most well known songs of the
past several decades, including Vanessa Williams’ “Save the Best for
Last,” and “Heartbeat,” performed by Don Johnson and “‘Fishin’ in the
Dark” sung by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
The powerful voices, fretwork and songwriting of these three women can now be heard on their first album together, Unbound,
just released in July. Better yet, pickup a copy when you join them
for their first concert on the Central Coast at Música Del Río as they
open the season for us on Friday, September 26. If you get a chance,
check out their website to get a better look at why we are glad they are joining us.
