‘Breathtaking kineticism’ carries new auto racing movie

It's now at Healdsburg's Raven Theater, until Sept. 21.

It ain’t BottleRock, and that’s a good thing.

But BloodRoot has plenty of talent taking the stage: four bands over an eight-hour day of music, including one certified international star, Ziggy Marley.

Bursts of color explode from every corner and every angle of the newly repainted Abel de Luna Community Center on the north side of town. Fuchsia, sunflower, marigold, plum and chrysanthemum abut and juxtapose with one another on the many outside walls and columns, as two muralists work on their own visions of Healdsburg.
