A Sweet Night at the Whisky: There are two versions of British glitter legends the Sweet on the road — the European version headed up by guitarist Andy Scott, and the American Lineup which, until his death in 2020, featured bassist Steve Priest. This is where it gets ropey, because the American Sweet continues to tour with no original members. By all accounts, they’re a wonderful tribute, so make of that what you will. RODG, Blaze Francisco, Forbidden June, Laroca Laroca, Sjobeck, and Blondey and perform. Essentially, this is an evening at the Whisky where you get to hear tunes such as “Ballroom Blitz,” “Little Willy,” “Fox on the Run” and “Blockbuster,” one after the other. It’s British glitter — just have a good time and don’t take it all too seriously.A Sweet Night at the Whisky: The event takes place at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 29 at the Whisky A Go Go. &n...Gunfire shatters business window in Walnut Creek shopping center

Kevin Costner, or people speaking on his behalf, are hitting back at estranged wife Christine Baumgartner’s portrayal of him as an insensitive father who jumped on a 10-minute Zoom call from Las Vegas to tell their three children that their parents were getting a divorce.Instead, an “insider” close to Costner told The Sun that the “Yellowstone” actor gathered his children together at a restaurant near the family’s $145 million home outside Santa Barbara and broke the news in person that a divorce was imminent.This insider also rejected a report that the Costner was “blindsided” by the idea that his 18-year marriage was over. The insider told The Sun that Costner, 68, and Baumgartner, 49, had agreed to an “amicable” divorce, with the actor planning to serve papers himself. But he was “blindsided” when Baumgartner seized the initiative and filed first.“Kevin sat his family down, told them he and their (mothe...Turning it up: 4 great, music-filled road trips for Bay Area fans

Remember yesterday’s food truck festivals?Street cuisine chefs could just roll into a parking lot, set up their mobile kitchens, and the diners would show up. It was new, it was novel. Everybody wanted in. Restaurants bought food trucks to appeal to this new customer.Those fests have now morphed into something much more — the night market.“People are finding, especially after the pandemic, that there is something special in coming out to eat, to shop and to be part of a community,” said San Jose entrepreneur Ryan Sebastian of Moveable Feast, who has successfully bridged the two culinary revolutions. “Food alone is not enough to really engage the community.”The trend is gaining in popularity this summer in the Bay Area, with weekly events supplementing a few humongous regional markets.
