A night of good times, great vibes and exemplary music presided over by the good- humored ringleader Elvin Bishop. Elvin Bishop's musical biography is no secret to anyone who has followed blues or rock over the past 40 years.

Grammy Award winner James "Super- harp" Cotton brings up a veritable who's who in the world of the blues.

Pastimes Arts & entertainment Hootenanny to celebrate store's 20th Founded in March of 1994 by married comedy duo Liz Merry and Aaron Standish, Wild Oak, 328 Oak St., has stood for two decades as testament to Red Bluff's willingness to support weirdness. Merry and Standish were also involved in the original restoration efforts of the State Theatre and gladly acted as ticket outlet for shows. Merry was a founding member of the Downtown Red Bluff Busi- ness Association, where she served as vice president for six years and president for two. That community sup- port continues under the new ownership of Doug Kelly and Sarah Anker, who bought the store in 2006. "They were younger, nicer, and had a much shorter commute," jokes Merry. "But it's because of their hard work and relent- less pursuit of the dream that everyone in Tehama County have at least one tie-dyed T-shirt that Wild Oak is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Sarah had been a Wild Oak customer since she was a student at Red Bluff High, so we knew she and Doug would be the perfect couple to take over the reins. Plus they added a lot of cool stuff like old records and golf discs." In a mutual show of cel- ebration, the Kelly Ankers and the Merry Standishes are hosting a 20 Year Hoo- tenanny at the State The- atre on Saturday, March 8. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and showtime is 7:30 p.m. The show will feature a comedy set by Merry Stan- dish and a music set by blues duo Bobby Bottacel- lo and the band French Reform. Merry Standish comedy combines stand-up, funny songs, political satire, a fake news program and local spoofery aimed at a mature audience. Bobby Bottacello — Curtiss Johnson and Bob Halpin — plays original music that has been influ- enced by folk, classical music, traditional rock and blues. They have been per- forming between Sacra- mento and Redding for the past three years, playing new songs with a familiar groove. French Reform features Phil Anker, Kirt Lind, Nik Burman, Elias Nippert and Aric Jeffries. Together they are a diamond cut quality crafted fun-machine, raised by rock, schooled in swag and adorned in dance. All proceeds from the Hootenany will go to The State Theatre for the Arts. The show is recom- mended for a mature audi- ence. Admission is $10 and tickets are available at Wild Oak. For more information, call 529-ARTS or go to statetheatreredbluff.com.
