Blue Sky Riders
Anything can happen when three veteran singer-songwriters come together but
when it comes to the Blue Sky Riders, the results are a perfect marriage of
lyrics, melody and rich vocal harmonies. From the moment they met, Grammy
Award-winning legend Kenny Loggins, Songwriter of the Year Gary Burr, and
Georgia Middleman, who wrote Keith Urban’s hit single “I’m In,” found a
mutual creative spark that has bloomed into music that merges their three
remarkable talents into a single powerful voice.

A heartbreaking love story. A tragic betrayal! An American naval officer marries a young Japanese girl for convenience. He leaves her while she faithfully awaits his return. Set in 1902 Japan, Giacomo Puccini’s devastating saga of devotion, tradition and sacrifice is among the most beloved operas of all time and is a perfect choice for introducing new people to opera. It is sung in Italian with English supertitles.

For twenty five years the Altamont Cruisers has held its Nostalgia Day Car Show on the streets of downtown Livermore, where the show has grown to display 700+ muscle cars, street rods, custom and classic cars and draws over 10,000 spectators annually. Our motto has always been "Cruisers Against Drugs", and our annual Nostalgia Day Car Show has allowed us to prove that we mean it.
