Cheers to all our fans, friends and family!

Believe it or not, in 2025 we’re celebrating our 20th year performing as 

Marty Cohen and the Sidekicks!

Our BIG NEWS is that we have finished recording our 4thCD!  It’s now in the mastering phase and will be sent for duplication soon. We should have copies for sale within a couple of months. In addition, we’re planning special CD release events. Watch for more information!
 

For 2025, we’ll perform often in the lovely enclosed patio at Ettore’s Bakery and Café (ettores.com). Please join us on March 8, April 11, May 9, June 6, Sept. 5, Oct. 10 and Nov. 14.

We’re planning a House Concert in Davis on Sunday, May 18 (details to come).

We’ll also return to several wonderful wineries we’ve enjoyed over the years. These are local family-owned businesses, and we urge you to support them along with us. 

Performances confirmed:

· Heritage Oak Winery (heritageoakwinery.com) in Acampo (near Lodi) – 

  Friday, June 13 (as a trio)  and Saturday, Nov. 15 (with the full band)

· Great Bear Vineyards (greatbearvineyards.com) in Davis – Friday, May 16

As usual, we will send a monthly email with full details on our performances. And you can always check out our Calendar page for updates.

All of us are looking forward to spending this year with you – sharing music (familiar and new!) and finding opportunities to bring Sidekicks music to a larger audience! 

We wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous 2025, and we thank you for your continued support.

More from the Sidekicks:

Marty, Ken, Jeff and Tony wish to thank all our supporters – fans old and new, owners/operators of local venues that feature live music, and above all our families and friends. 

Thanks go to everyone at our great venues: Ettore’s Bakery and Café (ettores.com) and Fox and Goose Public House (foxandgoose.com) in Sacramento; California Organics Market and Café (californiaorganics.com) in Nevada City;  Heritage Oak Winery (heritageoakwinery.com) and Macchia Winery (macchiawines.com) in Lodi; Sundstrom Hill Winery in Davis (sundstromhill.com); Le Casque Winery (casquewines.com) in Loomis, and Miner’s Leap Winery (minersleap.com), Julietta Winery (juliettawinery.com) and Heringer Estates Winery (heringerestates.com) in Clarksburg.  All these establishments are local family-owned businesses, and we urge you to support them.  We hope to be back to each of them soon, in addition to appearing at some new venues.

We've enjoyed many other memorable venues, including the Music at Noon Concert Series at Westminster Church in Sacramento (westminsac.org/music-noon), the National Night Out (at Gibbons Park), a Suburban Kiwanis fundraiser in   Carmichael, the 40th Anniversary of Mansour’s Rug Gallery in Roseville, 

several intimate house concerts, and the Holiday Music Series at the 

Sacramento International Airport (5 years!).

Our third CD, No Grudges (2017), is still very popular, along with Take A Chance (2006) and As Yet Untold (2009).  You, too, can be the proud owner of our music:
