San Francisco folk rocker Sun Kil Moon will be performing at the Redwood Barn at Gundlach-Bundschu Winery on Saturday evening, Jan. 20.

Sun Kil Moon is the stage name of vocalist and guitarist Mark Kozelek, who was previously the frontman for Red House Painters. Kozelek’s band is named after the Korean lightweight boxer Sung-Kil Moon.

Sun Kil Moon’s latest studio double album, “Common As Light” and “Love Are Red Valleys of Blood,” was released in February of 2017.

In October, Caldo Verde Records released Kozelek’s new collaborative album with Ben Boye and Jim White.

Sun Kil Moon has supported the album this year with a tour in Australia and New Zealand and will also tour Europe and the United States.

In 2011, the film “Mark Kozelek: On Tour” was released via Caldo Verde Records. The film follows Kozelek on two different tours in support of the Sun Kil Moon release, “Admiral Fell Promises,” released in 2010. The album was played entirely by Mark Kozelek on nylon string guitar and includes 10 original songs.

Kozelek’s music has been licensed to numerous television shows including “The O.C.,” “The Big C,” “Revenge,” “Brothers and Sisters,” “Friday Night Lights”and “Sons of Anarchy,” as well as several films including “Tarnation,” “Against the Current,” “The Elephant in the Living Room,” “Excess Baggage” and “Vanilla Sky.” Kozelek scored original music for the films “Farewell Bender,” “Last Ball” and “Lorena Ochoa: el Camino a la Cima.”

Kozelek also appeared as an actor in Cameron Crowe’s critically acclaimed “Almost Famous” as well as “Vanilla Sky.”

Food will be available. Wine is available for sale by the glass and by the bottle.

Show takes place rain or shine and the Redwood Barn is covered.

Concert proceeds go to Sonoma Strong to assist victims and first responders of the Sonoma, Napa and Santa Rosa fires.
