Sober Musicians Picnic

The musical guest artists, the Board of Directors and committee members donate their time and talents to the Picnic, free of charge. The all-day concerts and family ‘picnic’ have consisted of inspired performances by musicians from every genre of music such as Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Wayne Kramer, Mick Fleetwood, War, Devo, Great White, Slash, David Crosby, Billy Idol, Chicago, Spencer Davis, Chuck Negron, Ivan Neville, & Dr. John; Canned Heat, Bonnie Bramlett, John & Maggie Mayall, Walter Trout, Martha Davis & The Motels, Automatics, Carla Olson, Fur Dixon ,Marc Ford, The English Beat, The Boxing Gandhis, The Dickies, Jerry Cantrell and Katey Sagal, just to name a few. .History: “A Clean & Sober Celebration" for 28 years ‘The Musicians’ Meeting’, a 12 Step group of sober musicians, started a backyard BBQ and “jam session” in celebration of sobriety. That intimate gathering of musicians, family members and friends has grown into the West Coast’s largest one-day ‘clean & sober’ event, with live music on two stages, children’s activities and a multi-prize raffle as well as celebrity autographed memorabilia and merchandise. Over the years, the Musicians’ Picnic has generated around 750,000in revenue with an attendance up to 2000 on a star-studded day. The funds raised, after expenses of site rentals and production costs, are donated to the recovery community assisting needy musicians through rehabilitation. We have donated literature to the Groups who visit the Hospitals & Institutions to carry the message of recovery.
