The sounds of the Seventies… music of the likes of Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, the Byrds. Numerous tribute bands will perform for yet another free SAM outdoor concert, this time in the East Village Arts District (First Street at Elm) 5-9 pm.

Show up on your bicycle, because Long Beach Cyclists will offer free bike valet service.

The list of musicians is lonnnnnnnng! Click SAM to see who will perform. And, hey!, on the list, we find Jenny Stockdale’s name! Which, for us at Long Beach Cyclists, means a neat music event will be even greater!

(We know Jenny as a great friend, as a lover of cycling, as a talented musician, and as a skilled writer. A teensy bit of our bias may also be due to the fact that she is a member of Long Beach Cyclists.)

Hint to up-and-coming musicians, future candidates for the presidency of the United States, and others who love cycling: Join Long Beach Cyclists! Small print: No guarantee that you’ll ever see your name in the lights… but if you join LBC, we’ll love you plenty!

And another option, because it’s fun to be two places at once:

Each first Sunday of the month, friends riding vintage bikes and other bikes with character meet up at Portfolio Coffeehouse (Junipero at Fourth). At 10:30 a.m., the HUGE Cyclone Coaster group will depart from Portfolio for an easy-paced local ride, all wearing Cyclone Coaster t-shirts.
