Beck, one of pop music’s most influential artists, will drop by Healdsburg’s Little Saint on Sunday, Aug. 10 — his solo performance following a high-profile appearance at Outside Lands in San Francisco on Aug. 8.
The show is being billed as a “a rare, stripped-down acoustic set in a space designed for true listening,” according to a press release from Little Saint, an all-vegan local restaurant in Healdsburg. Tickets will cost $125, and go on sale July 22.
The mononymous artist, now 55, will play with the San Francisco Symphony to thousands of fans in the middle of Golden Gate Park during Outside Lands. Then he will come to Healdsburg, the biggest big-name artist to play at Little Saint.
Eight-time Grammy Award winner Beck “rose to fame in the early 1990s with his experimental and lo-fi style, and became known for creating musical collages of wide-ranging genres,” as Wikipedia describes his early career. Through 2025, he has released 14 studio albums (three on indie labels), as well as several other musical projects.
Jonny Fritz, music director at Little Saint since 2022, said this about landing Beck. “It took a few phone calls and some convincing to show that Little Saint was the right spot for something like this — but our roster of incredible talent that’s come through our doors in just three years proves we’re a trusted place for artists.
Numerous rising independent artists play the venue, an upstairs hall formerly the site of the restaurant Second Story. Thursday shows are usually free, open seating, with dinner and drinks available. Throughout the year, select ticketed shows are scheduled, at around 100–250 guests “to preserve that intimate, secret-show atmosphere,” said the Little Saint’s marketing director Sara Beckstead.
“More than just a stage, Little Saint is a multi-concept gathering place for food, music, art, and community — housed in a two-story building in downtown Healdsburg,” continued Beckstead’s press release. “Artists who play Little Saint receive a warm respite from the road, with farm-to-fork dinners featuring produce from Little Saint Farm, closed-loop — sustainable cocktails, and an expansive non-alcoholic program.”
Among previous artists who have performed at Little Saint are War & Treaty, Phoebe Bridgers, both boygenius and Perfume Genius, and many others. Scheduled for a month after Beck’s appearance is Rufous Wainwright, another cult artist of high stature. Wainwright’s show this summer is on the calendar for Sept. 9.
“Beck joins a community of musicians who know they’ll be taken care of here,” said Fritz. “Healdsburg deserves moments like this, and it means a lot to help make them happen.”
