On July 17, 2025, we kicked off our brand-new series Legends Live & Local with none other than Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Go’s. It was a night to remember—intimate, raw, and filled with the kind of magic that only happens when legendary artists team up with our hometown talent. And it was all set in the heart of downtown Santa Cruz at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History.
For this show, Jane hand-picked a dream team of local musicians to form the Santa Cruz All Stars:
-
Gabi Bravo – Vocals / Backing Vocals
-
Swan Porter – Keyboards
-
Jerad Fox – Guitar
-
David De Silva – Bass
-
Dylan Von Elgg – Drums
-
Marek Fulop-Furlano – Guitar
Setlist Highlights:
-
Our Lips Are Sealed (acoustic) – The Go-Go’s classic written by Jane
-
Messy – Lola Young cover with the All Stars
-
Waterfalls – TLC cover featuring a freestyle by special guest Alwa Gordon
-
Low – Cracker cover
