Catch this Bay Area Grammy nominee's post-Giants game concert
Oracle Park is about to get icy — and not just because of San Francisco's summertime fog. The Bay Area's 'Icy Girl' Saweetie plans to bring her hip-hop hits to the ballpark for a post-game performance after the San Francisco Giants face off against the Tampa Bay Rays on Aug. 16. The Santa Clara-born star is set to perform on the field approximately 30 minutes after the final out of the game, which starts at 6:05 p.m. Her set is part of the Giants' City Connect Concert series, which previously booked country music star Nate Smith for a performance on June 21. A game ticket is required for admission, and fans can purchase an additional field pass for closer access to the performance. Tickets are on sale now. The upcoming occasion marks Saweetie's first local gig since NBA All-Star Weekend, when she joined fellow Bay Area musicians Too Short, Raphael Saadiq and En Vogue on the court for a performance during the NBA All-Star Game at Chase Center. The two-time Grammy nominee was also featured on the Golden State Warriors' nine-track 'For the Soil' album, which celebrated Northern California's rap scene and was curated by Pinole rapper P-Lo. The record was released just before NBA All-Star Weekend in collaboration with its entertainment division, Golden State Entertainment. Ahead of her concert next month, Saweetie plans to release her new EP, 'Hella Pressure,' on Aug. 1. The project builds on the success of hits like 'My Type,' 'Tap In' and 'Best Friend,' and comes as fans eagerly await her debut album, which has no release date yet. Saweetie released the confident summer anthem 'Boffum,' the EP's lead single named for the slang term meaning 'both of them,' on Friday, July 18, to ring in the new era.

And then there was one — Abbotsford Canucks playoff series headed to deciding game
The Abbotsford Canucks ' season is on the line Monday afternoon. The Vancouver Canucks ' farmhands will play the Colorado Eagles in Loveland, Colo., in the deciding game of the best-of-five AHL Pacific Division final after the Eagles beat visiting Abbotsford 3-1 on Friday to knot the series at 2-2. Monday's opening faceoff at Blue Arena is 2:05 p.m. The Eagles are the Colorado Avalanche's farm team. They have home ice advantage since they won the Pacific Division regular season banner, with the Eagles (43-21-5-3) finishing two points ahead of runner-up Abbotsford (44-24-2-2). The Canucks did capture the season series between the teams, though, going 6-2-0-0 against the Eagles. The Abbotsford Canucks fell 3-1 to the Colorado Eagles in Game 4, pushing the series to Game 5. Read all about it in the post game recap. FULL RECAP | Colorado (26-6-2-2) had the league's best home record in the regular season. Abbotsford (20-13-2-1) sported the ninth best away record. They went 2-2-0-0 in their regular season trips to Loveland, and they won Game 3 of this series there on Wednesday via a 3-2 overtime decision, with the winner coming the off stick of winger Linus Karlsson. Karlsson is second in Abbotsford scoring in the post-season, with his eight points, including five goals. That leaves him behind only the 11 points put forth by winger Sammy Blais. Blais has tallied three times. Centre Nate Smith bagged his third goal of the playoffs on Friday for Vancouver, scoring in the third period after Colorado had got out to a 3-0 lead on goals by winger Jean-Luc Foudy, centre Jayson Megna and winger Tye Felhaber. Megna is a former Vancouver Canuck. Felhaber's goal came on a power play, marking the first man-advantage goal that Abbotsford has allowed in these playoffs. The Abbotsford penalty kill is working at 97 per cent (32-of-33) in the post-season. Nate Smith gets the Canucks on the board, cutting the deficit to two goals. Arturs Silovs' saves prove huge. Will it be enough? Artūrs Šilovs made 27 saves in the Abbotsford net Friday. Trent Miner turned away 24 shots for Colorado. Miner is a former Vancouver Giants netminder. There are two more rounds left in the AHL playoffs after this one. The winner between Abbotsford and Colorado moves onto the Western Conference finals, where they'll face either the Milwaukee Admirals or the Texas Stars. Milwaukee, who are a Nashville Predators farm team, and Texas, who are a Dallas Stars affiliate, are knotted at 2-2 and play their deciding game on Sunday. The Charlotte Checkers have already advanced to the Eastern Conference final, thanks to sweeping the Hershey Bears. They're awaiting either the Laval Rocket or Rochester Americans, who play their fifth and deciding game on Sunday as well. The Eastern and Western champions then square off for the Calder Cup. Hershey were the two-time reigning league champions. Charlotte and Hershey are the farm teams for the Carolina Hurricanes and Washington Capitals, respectively. It's the Montreal Canadiens and Buffalo Sabres for Laval and Rochester. @SteveEwen SEwen@

It's Sacramento's country music festival of the year, especially considering Golden Sky is being held until next year. Thousands of people are expected to attend this weekend. Hosted by KNCI, big-name artists are playing like Billy Currington and Nate Smith. Friday's headliner is Bailey Zimmerman. Two friends, Ayden Sparks and Alisia Evans, drove all the way up from Southern California to see Bailey Zimmerman. "That man has saved my life," Sparks said. "It's a really good break just to come out here and see everybody in their hats and cowboy boots. It's just a great environment," Evans said. Friday marked Ashley Pinnick's first concert ever. "I like a lot of the artists singing today, so I'm very excited," she said. With temperatures in the 80s, festival goers were doing what they could to stay cool, at least until the sun went down. "It is hot, but I have a fan with me," said Dixon resident Gladys Herrejon. There's more than just music. People can enjoy great food, shop at local vendors and participate in good old-fashioned country activities. "I'm going to try and ride the bull this time. I'm a little scared, but I'm going to try," said Vacaville resident Abbie Menesini. And sometimes, it's just all about the vibe. "Over the last three year,s it's been really fun even though country music isn't really my favorite. I love coming, it's really fun," said Menesini.
