A Tribute to Rev: Celebrating the Contributions of Ron Stallings

For the past few decades, musician Ron Stallings (photo: John Spragens) has been an active member of the San Francisco Bay Area music scene. He has brought his versatile musical talent to a variety of styles including jazz, Latin, and pop music, playing saxophones and flute, and singing with members of the local and international music community. Ron has shared his creativity with audiences and artists in performances around the globe and made countless friends along the way.

He's also on my album Vagabundeo, both playing sweetly soulful sax on Angelitos Negros (arr. Murray Low and vocal arr. Wayne Wallace) and singing on Aguas de Marco (arr. Wayne Wallace)!


On the evening of Sunday, April 26th at La Peña Cultural Center in Berkeley, Ron's friends, colleagues, and fans will gather in a celebration of his work and his much loved presence in our lives. Many local artists will be performing at this heartfelt musical event, and all proceeds from the concert will be donated to help with expenses that have accrued from Ron's medical care.

The line-up includes: David Belove, Brad Buethe, Stephanie Bruce, John Calloway, Jeff Cressman, Bill Douglass, Cecilia Englehart, David Ewell, Mary Fettig, David Flores, Noel Jewkes, Bob Karty, Mark Levine, Murray Low, Melecio Magdaluyo, Jenna Mammina, Ron Marabuto, Frank Martin, Ray Obiedo, John Santos, Ray Scott, Kahlil Shaheed, Saul Sierra, Bud Spangler, Rob Sudduth, Paul van Wageningen, Harvey Wainapel, Wayne Wallace, Marty Wehner and John Wiitala.

Master of Ceremonies will be KCSM's Jesse "Chuy" Varela.
