About Rudy Colombini's
"Message of Love" Album
The release of "Message of Love" through the Universal Music
Group is a career culmination for Colombini, who has recorded
original music for four decades and has led The Unauthorized
Rolling Stones for nearly as long. The album charted in the Top 40
when it was first released in 1998. Because of the album's timeless
sound, pop production, and its shout out for hope and compassion,
Universal Music Group rereleased the songs. For Colombini, this is
his first album through a major distribution channel.
The album release party takes place on July 25, 2024, Music City San Francisco, 1355
Bush St, SF, CA., 6-10 pm.

About Music City San Francisco
Dovetailing with his music career, Rudy
Colombini started Music City San Francisco with the hope of
stoking the dormant fires of musical creativity in his hometown and
the musicians around him, who had been held down by high rents and
costs of creating music in one of the most expensive cities in the
U.S.
All the elements of the Music City San Francisco complex—its
five stages, 20 streaming-enabled rehearsal/education rooms, SF
music-themed hotel/hostel, bar/restaurant, its 80 exhibit SF Music
Hall of Fame, and now the Universal imprint label—coalesce into a
platform that empowers and exposes Bay Area musical talent.
"My goal is to wake up San
Francisco's artistic soul," says Colombini, who presides
over Music City San Francisco like an impresario. Colombini's
vision of MCSF as a music playland of inspiration, imagination,
performance, and fun for musicians and fans alike prompted Canadian
publication Range Magazine's Guide to San
Francisco to aptly describe him as "the 'Willy Wonka of the
Rock World.'"
