David Nelson Band
Step into an evening of rich, roots-driven rock at HopMonk Tavern Novato as the David Nelson Band takes the stage on Saturday, June 13, 2026. A beloved fixture of the Bay Area music scene, David Nelson is a legendary guitarist and singer whose musical journey traces back to the earliest days of the Grateful Dead universe — co-founding the New Riders of the Purple Sage and sharing stages with Jerry Garcia for decades. His band carries that torch forward with a warm, improvisational spirit that honors the tradition while keeping every performance wonderfully alive and spontaneous.
HopMonk Tavern in Novato is the perfect setting for this kind of intimate, soulful rock experience. Known for its welcoming atmosphere, craft beers on tap, and a stage that puts you right in the heart of the music, HopMonk has earned its reputation as one of Marin County's most beloved live music destinations. Whether you're a longtime Dead Head or simply a fan of masterful musicianship, the room's cozy energy makes every show feel like a gathering of old friends.
Expect an evening woven with extended jams, heartfelt songcraft, and the kind of loose, joyful interplay that only comes from seasoned musicians who truly love what they do. Grab a cold pint, find your spot, and let the music carry you — this is a Northern California live music experience not to be missed.
