Weekend Planner for April 15-17

Friday:

Ashley Judd presents her memoir All That Is Bitter and Sweet.  Ashley Judd is an award-winning film and stage actor known for her roles in both box-office hits and art-house gems, and the daughter and sister of country-music royalty. In 2002, drawing on a deep well of empathy, she found her true calling: as a humanitarian and advocate for those suffering in neglected parts of the world. Now, in this deeply moving memoir, Judd describes her odyssey, as a left-behind lost child attains international prominence as a fiercely dedicated advocate. At the Book Passage, 51 Tamal Vista Blvd., Corte Madera. 7 - 8 p.m.

Friday:

Jackie Greene has been hailed as the new boy wonder of the Americana/Roots Rock scene since he released his first Album in 2002. His roots twist to create a unique sound, combining the introspection of an engaging songwriter with the energy of a chemically charged rock band. With a stream-of-consciousness vibe, many of Greene's songs reflect a certain spontaneity, traveling quickly from inspiration to album to fan. Whether it's a soulful ballad or a ballsy rocker, you can count on breathtaking melody and poetic lyricism.  At the Palm Ballroom, 100 Yacht Club Dr., San Rafael, 9 p.m.

Saturday:

Come and dye your Easter eggs Marin-style and listen to live music by The Shots.  Color your eggs using natural vegetable dyes, and then hang around to listen to The Shots (the set's from 10 - 1 p.m.).  Playing traditional Irish & Scottish songs alongside old-time Appalachian, bluegrass & country songs, you're sure to enjoy them.  At the Marin Country Mart, 2257 Larkspur Landing, Corte Madera.  9 a.m. - 2 p.m.
