Healdsburg Museum
History comes alive with two local-centric exhibitions. The semi-permanent installation for “Many Roads to Healdsburg” outlines the town’s rich history, from the Pomo to early settlers and recent influencers.

Tickets $15 ($10 for club members), doors open at 6pm and the music starts at 8pm at Coyote Sonoma, 44f Mill St.
End of the Line
The idea of a tribute band for a combo that never had a gig is pretty audacious, but when the material includes songs by Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan and George Harrison, it begins to make sense. The Traveling Wilburys Revue showcases the songs and attitude of these legends at the Raven Theater on Saturday Oct. 4 at 7:30pm, 115 North St. Tickets $28-$63 at the door and raventheater.org.
Pocket Opera
Mozart was just 12 in 1768 when he wrote the one-act opera Bastien and Bastienne, about a young rural couple whose love is manipulated by a sorcerer, Colas.

It’s on The 222 stage at 7pm on Saturday Oct. 4, 222 Healdsburg Ave., the222.org.
