François K, aka François Kevorkian, has revolutionized dance floors several times: Editing Martin Circus' hugely influential 1979 " Disco Circus," gorgeously mixing Dinosaur L.'s left-field 1982 classic " Go Bang!," and remixing Yazoo's 1982 " Situation" (which incidentally launched 12″ dance mix culture) are just three examples of how he's still slaying dance floors more than a half-century later. As a resident DJ at Studio 54 and Paradise Garage he was there for it all.

Brooklyn electro-outfit Fcukers was on stage and the sold-out room was downright sweaty. For all the gripes about how SF crowds don't dance anymore (they're not entirely wrong), this was hardly the case this evening. The fog machine was turned up to 11, there was a palpable industry buzz lurking throughout the 400 capacity space and the energy in the room was downright intoxicating; I wanted to live in that concert moment forever.

And they were all there, shining brightly, in honor of the one and only Emmylou Harris. Joan Baez, Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, Rodney Crowell, Allison Russell, Steve Earle, Shawn Colvin, Rosanne Cash, Sam Bush, Patty Griffin, Albert Lee, Margo Price, Buddy Miller and, yes, even the star of the evening herself Harris all performed during the charming and heartwarming A Tribute to Emmylou Harris & 25 Years of Hardly Strictly Bluegrass show.

After their concert last Thursday at Chase Center, the Jonas Brothers stayed another day in San Francisco to feast on Peruvian nigiri and grilled meat skewers. The iconic boy band consisting of brothers Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas and Kevin Jonas made a surprise visit to La Mar Cebichería Peruana for lunch along the city's waterfront on Friday, Sept. 26. "Honestly, they were relatively discreet," general manager Jason Wiles told SFGATE. "They just came in looking for a table. They were a party of seven, and we were happy to accommodate them. They didn't really create a scene or anything like that."

For 15 years, Public Works has been a gathering point for San Francisco's music community. This fall, we open a new chapter with Fluid Sessions, a Thursday series designed to move freely across the full spectrum of club culture. Each night will highlight sounds that blur boundaries-techno, house, bass, and everything in between-brought together under one roof pushed by Bay Area tastemakers.

Under the baton of Maestra Jessica Bejarano, the San Francisco Philharmonic launches its 2025-2026 season with an electrifying celebration of Beethoven's genius.

It seems the new reincarnated version may now be calling itself The DeLuxe, according to their new social media handles (that punctuation matches their longtime red neon sign). And on Thursday, the new owners went before the SF Planning Commission requesting a permit to establish amplified live musical entertainment, and an authorization allowing hours of operation to be 9am-2am 7 days a week.

On a recent August afternoon, Golden State Valkyries guard Kaitlyn Chen looks up, bends her knees and releases the ball with a flick of the wrist, sinking another 3-pointer. Down the violet-tinted court, forward Cecilia Zandalasini runs drills, crouching low as she dribbles the ball between her legs. "I love a good DJ," guard Tiffany Hayes tells KQED courtside, pointing to a music note tattoo on her ankle. "I think positive frequencies are important. ... The DJ in here got us rockin' right now, gettin' ready for the game."
