Kids Rock
Most city outdoor concert series this time of year are all pretty family-friendly, but Redwood City hosts a concert series that goes one better: it’s made for kids. The Kids Rock series returns June 28, the first of three shows this summer with music just for the younger set — plus there will be an inflatable playland to enjoy, too. Favorite local family entertainer Andy Z will serve as emcee for the shows, and joined by the Andyland Band, he will also perform at this first concert. Also on the schedule: Lori & RJ will perform July 19 and James Henry’s House of Samba Kids will close out the series on Aug. 9.
June 28, 10 a.m., Courthouse Square, 2200 Broadway, Redwood City; free; redwoodcity.org.
Meg Waite Clayton
Bestselling author Meg Waite Clayton comes to Kepler’s to discuss her latest book, “Typewriter Beach,” with fellow author Peggy Townsend. “Typewriter Beach” is set close to the Bay Area, in Carmel, in two time periods. In the late 1950s, ingenue Isabella is sent by the studio to the small seaside town while awaiting word on whether Alfred Hitchcock will cast her. The next-door neighbor is Léon, an Oscar-winning screenwriter who has been blacklisted during the communist scare. The two strike up a friendship. Then, in 2018, as Léon’s granddaughter, Gemma, packs up her granddad’s cottage in preparation to sell it, she finds his safe, which contains many surprising secrets.
