SOUNDWAVES CHRISTMAS exists for two simple reasons:
1. To support our neighbors during the holiday season.
2. To entertain the hell out of you, in exchange for the aforementioned support.
From Groovy good time rock and roll and some of the best live acts in the Bay Area, to the TV singing debut of a veteran Hollywood star, a Boston-based songstress, and the wild antics of Johnny Legend … this year’s Soundwaves Christmas has something for everyone! Here is the official list of performers (in alphabetical order to be fair) scheduled to rock our stage on December 11th!

Groovy Judy puts a new face on the late 60’s, early 70’s sound that made the Bay Area what it is. From the songwriting influences of Sly and The Family Stone, Jimi Hendrix, to touches of the melodic Beatles sound, San Francisco’s own brings forth her dominating style with the energy of some of today’s most known artists.
