Due South

Due South is a free concert series made possible by the City of San Francisco, District 11 Supervisor Ahsha Safai, and SF Parks Alliance. The concerts will be held at the Jerry Garcia Amphitheater in San Francisco’s McLaren Park on August 27th, September 17th and October 8th from 3-7pm each day. The series will feature a diverse lineup of contemporary talent that reflects the local neighborhoods and populations of the City's Southern districts neighboring the park.

How To Get There

Jerry Garcia Amphitheater is located in the natural wonderlands of McLaren Park. We highly encourage public transportation or biking! McLaren park has miles of off-road and paved biking trails if you want to ride to the show. Or you can get there by catching the MUNI 29-Sunset bus, which you can conveniently hop onto at the Balboa Park BART station or at the Third Street & Gilman/Paul stop on the K/T MUNI Metro line. Get off at the corner of Mansell Street and John F Shelley Drive and look for the signs!

If you want to grab a car or drive yourself follow your favorite map to McLaren Park; the entrance to JGA is at 52 John F Shelley Drive. There’s limited parking in a lot near the eastern intersection with Mansell and street parking on John F Shelley.

Deafheaven

Deafheaven is a California-based act that has garnered acclaim for their signature hybrid sound of black metal, shoegaze, and post-rock. On October 2 the band will release their next album New Bermuda on ANTI-.

George Clarke (vocals), Kerry McCoy (guitar), Dan Tracy (drums), Stephen Lee Clark (bass), and Shiv Mehra (guitar) recorded New Bermuda live to tape at 25th Street Recording in Oakland, CA and Atomic Garden Recording in East Palo Alto, CA in April 2015. It was produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered by Jack Shirley who has worked with the band on their previous releases. Clarke says that he came up with the idea of “New Bermuda” to describe a new destination in life, a nebulous point of arrival, and an unknown future where things get swallowed up and dragged into darkness. The album artwork for New Bermuda is an oil painting, dense in brush strokes of darker tones and deep blues, by Allison Schulnik. The layout was designed by art director Nick Steinhardt.

Formed in 2010 in San Francisco, California, the band has released two studio albums on Deathwish; Roads to Judah in 2011 and their lauded Sunbather in 2013. Sunbather received accolades from NPR on their Favorite Albums of 2013 list, a coveted Best New Music at Pitchfork, the Best Metal Album of 2013 per Rolling Stone, a 9/10 star review from Decibel Magazine, and it was the highest rated album of 2013 according to Metacritic. Deafheaven have spent the last two years touring extensively nationally and around the world with shows in Australia, Japan, Asia, Europe, Russia, the UK, and Canada with festival appearances at Pitchfork, Bonnaroo, Primavera, Roskilde, Fun Fun Fun, FYF Fest, SXSW, Basilica Sound Scape 14, Corona Capital, ATP Iceland, amongst others. Deafheaven will perform August 8 at Heavy Montreal in Canada. Details on a forthcoming North American tour are soon to be announced.
