Live music cultivates the free-thinking culture of this region and yet most ‘working musicians’ need that day job to survive.  Stages are few and hubs where musicians can find work and connect with each other are fading.  Enter the FLATBED, a benefit for Play It Forward Music School and a showcase for the diverse musical heritage of Sonoma’s West County.

In its generous lineup of Sonoma-grown musicians on ten intimate stages in Sebastopol and West County, headliners are paired with emerging artists,  In addition to performances, the festival will feature recording studio tours and live oral histories on the mobile flatbed stage - all to benefit free music programs, private lessons and instruments for those with limited resources in our county.
