Izabella At The Park And At Marilyn’s

Izabella is fresh from a fierce performance at Bobolink Music Festival and heading back to Sacramento. They will perform for a full day of soul infused dance tunes on July 9th, beginning at the Concert in the Park and continuing the party at Marilyn’s on K.  The Marilyn’s show begins at 9PM and tickets are available for $8 or $5 with a Park bracelet.

“Izabella, a continually evolving Northern California unit that oozes positivity anchored to serious chops and strong songwriting. Archetypically ‘jam band’ in nature, they encompass soul, rock, pop, and jazz as if all lived happily in one big bed.” –Jambase

About Izabella, from the press release:

Since its inception in Fall 2006, and after hitting the road full-time in 2008, Izabella has performed well over 250 gigs, including some key performances at summer festivals: High Sierra, 4 Peaks, Las Tortugas, Summer Meltdown, Oregon County Fair, and Bobolink. This solid tour schedule combined with an elevated level of stage and light production has helped Izabella garner various accolades, including the Jambands.com title, “New Groove of the Month” back in August 2008. In 2009, Izabella was nominated for the SAMMIEs (Sacramento Area Music Awards) and won Best of Sacramento, Editors’ Pick for Sacramento magazine.

Should be a fun show…
