About this Event

Rescue Rocks is an annual benefit concert organized by Lisa Sikes, featuring Camp Jeff—Camp Jeff includes some of the bay areas finest local musicians including former members of the Joe Satriani Band, Boston, Eddie Money Band, Big Brother and the Holding Company and Jefferson Starship.

The event is dedicated to supporting local nonprofit animal sanctuaries, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the selected organizations.

This year's Rescue Rocks will be held at Lucca Bar & Grill in Benicia, California.

The 2026 beneficiary sanctuaries are Ripple Effect and Lucky Ones Ranch.

Ripple Effect is a foster-based, volunteer-driven rescue organization serving the Napa Valley. Their mission is to keep pets and families together by providing resources, education, and community support. They help fund spay and neuter surgeries, coordinate TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) programs for feral cat colonies, and work closely with local shelters by rescuing senior, injured, and at-risk animals. These animals are given the opportunity to heal in loving foster homes before being adopted or, when necessary, to live out the rest of their lives surrounded by compassionate care.

Lucky Ones Ranch is a nonprofit animal sanctuary located in Vacaville, California. Founded in 2016 by husband-and-wife team Thao and Vince, the ranch has grown into a safe haven for more than 140 rescued animals through the dedication of an incredible team of volunteers.

The sanctuary provides lifelong care for animals that have been neglected, abused, abandoned, or simply unwanted.

Lucky Ones Ranch is more than just a sanctuary—it is a place where people of all ages can build meaningful connections with animals through private tours and seasonal community events. These programs help offset the ongoing costs of caring for the animals, including hay, feed, veterinary care, pig hoof trims, farrier services for the horses, dog grooming, and many other essential expenses.

Caring for more these animals is a tremendous commitment, and it would not be possible without the generosity of the community. Every ticket purchased, donation made, and show of support helps the Rescue Rocks event continue to support these animal sanctuaries, and provide the second chance the animals deserve.
