Commander Cody will be showing his paintings at the Sausalito Art Festival in Sausalito, CA Aug 29-Sept 2. This is the largest fine art juried showing in America.
His theme is "Music Moves Marin: They live here-they play here-some were just passing thru..." and include portraits of musicians near and dear to the Marin County heart.
We'll have Janis and Jerry thru influences like Jim Morrison with some jazz - Billie Holiday, Count Basie, Benny Goodman and blues and reggae stars.
Commander's art will be for sale in a silent auction format to benefit the festival and the Commander Cody Band will play before the Neville Bros. on Sunday, August 31!
