History The first Nadine's Wild Weekend was in 7 clubs with 70 bands over 2 1/2 days. The second Nadine's bumped up to 10 clubs with 100 bands over 3 days and included the opening night bash at the Fillmore starring Stroke 9, just as they were releasing their hit single, "Little Black Backpack". Last year we featured 135 in 30 shows in 20 clubs over 4 days and the closing show featured Jason Newsted's first post Metallica project, the terrific EchoBrain. Founded in 1998 by Nadine Condon -- San Francisco's Godmother of Rock -- Nadine's Wild Weekend is the Northern California music event devoted exclusively to regional music, the community and creativity in all its forms. Nadine started working in the Bay Area music industry in 1977. Over 20 years later, she continues to be instrumental in the success of some of today's hottest acts, yet remains committed to new and developing talent. Producing BMI showcases throughout the 90's, she showcased bands like Counting Crows, Third Eye Blind and Train before they were known. She has continued that legacy with NWW. Besides serving as executive director of NWW, she is a band mentor and counselor, author and speaker.
