Dave Jenkins returns for his second performance at A Concert Under the Stars, a fundraiser for The Greenhouse Project, July 11 with his band, Pablo Cruise.
Jenkins performed four years ago for the inaugural event, which takes place at Café at Adele’s, but his love of music began at a tender age.
“My folks had an old pump organ and I couldn’t reach the pedals,” Jenkins said. “I’d play and my sister would pump the pedals for me; I always had an ear and a love for music.”

With songwriting credits that include “Wild One,” recorded by Faith Hill and “Stranded,” made famous by Heart, Jaime Kyle made a mark in the music world a long time ago.
Throughout her career, her songs have been recorded by numerous artists, featured on CD’s with combined sales of more than 19 million worldwide and has recorded and performed with such legendary artists as Leon Russell, Patty Griffin, Richard Marx, Amy Grant and Ozzy Osbourne. Today, she continues to perform her original music for audiences throughout Northern California.

Tickets are on sale for the fourth annual Concert Under the Stars, a fundraiser for The Greenhouse Project, featuring Pablo Cruise, Jaime Kyle and Northern Nevada’s own The Mighty Surf Lords.

The event takes place July 11 at Café at Adele’s and begins with the silent auction at 5 p.m., followed at 6 p.m. with happy, fun-filled music by The Mighty Surf Lords, who also played the venue last year and who open this year for Jaime Kyle and Pablo Cruise.
