The Music Man
In the ’80s, Charlie Peacock was jamming with Randy Jackson in midtown Sacramento and being asked to open for a then-fledgling U2 in Davis.

Foxy Lady
Sacramento singer Andy Allo may have gotten her start at an open mic night at Fox & Goose, but after a year touring the world with Prince (who gave her a crash course in music ranging from Joni Mitchell to Jimi Hendrix), she has a new album (produced by Prince) and a solo tour on the way (on which Prince may join her). Now if only people would stop calling her his girlfriend.
