San Francisco's recent warm weather revitalized its cultural scene, highlighted by events like Michael Rother's concert at Gray Area. Rother, a key figure in the krautrock genre, continues to captivate audiences even at 74. Acknowledging the limited opportunities to see such influential artists live, the event drew attention to San Francisco as a hub for unique musical experiences. This local initiative embodies SFGATE's commitment to showcasing the city's artistic diversity and history through its weekly Fogcutter column.
Rother, now 74 years old, looked and sounded as fresh as ever, playing emotive instrumental guitar songs that seemingly could only be written in '70s Germany.
The survivors of the krautrock scene are few and far between; artists you may only get one opportunity to see in your lifetime.
