Lunar Lions
The fortnight of Lunar New Year approaches, bringing in the Year of the Dragon. Marin County Asian Community Alliance celebrates the turning back of the Earth in her orbit with a performance of the traditional Lion Dance. Similar to the perhaps more familiar dragon dances famous in San Francisco’s Chinatown, the Lion Dance manifests good luck, prosperity and health for the new year. The ornately constructed, multi-person lion and vibrant costumes offer the perfect start to an auspicious year. Gung hay fat choy! 3pm, Saturday, Feb. 10 at Pho Sonoma Vietnamese Cuisine, Petaluma Downtown Theatre Square, 140 Second St., Ste. 120, Petaluma. Family and children friendly event. No purchase required.

Smooth As Glass
Evening Glass is a local four-piece rock outfit which, in the words of the Bohemian, “carves along the edge of surf and noise, all at the pace of the sun setting slowly off the edge of the continent until the rush of the horizon accelerates to meet it.” Truly, audiences of the band swoon to the downtempo rock rooted in the noise and surf-revival sounds of the ’90s. And as those with teens will know, the ’90s are back. Last Pleasure and Evening Glass, 7:30pm, Saturday, Feb. 3 at the Napa Valley Distillery’s Hollywood Room, 2485 Stockton St., Napa. 21+. $10 cover.
