May 28 | Cory Branan, Nashville
Cory Branan has proven himself as a top-notch songwriter, and a hyperdynamic performer with the ability to fingerpick finer than ‘60s Greenwich Village folkies and brutally strum like a proto punk shredder.

June 11 | Michael Rock & Echo Canyon, Sacramento
Hippie country, cosmic americana, and folk rock music. Inspired by artists including Neil Young, Gram Parsons, The Byrds, & Waylon Jennings, the upbeat sound of Echo Canyon features the iconic pedal steel guitar and will leave you tapping your toe or looking for the nearest dance partner.

A rock-reggae group out of North Tahoe, Horsemouth blends island sound with an aggressive edge. Their electric guitar and drums create a party-friendly vibe.

June 25 | Everyday Outlaw, North Tahoe
A traditional Honky Tonk Country line up of Acoustic Guitar, Telecaster, Pedal Steel, Fender Bass and Drums, topped off with haunting vocals and a heavy dose of attitude. This band is sure to move you to your feet and pull at your heartstrings in the same evening.

July 2 | The Tens, Los Angeles
The Tens began as a busking band and spent its formative years refining their raw, funky, soul sound on the corners of L.A.’s most iconic intersections.

July 23 | Pints for Pups & 86 Proof, Plumas County
A dog loving small-time band of complex personalities. Some might say cockeyed optimists hailing from the Lost Sierras. Bringing you an eclectic booty shaking, boot stomping mix of jam grass, country, rock and Blues music that will rock your socks off.

July 30 | The Electric, Reno
The Electric is a power trio dead-set on bringing rock-n-roll to the people (at least those people who like to boogie). Think high energy, fist-pumpin’, power ballads, sweaty T-shirts and tight jeans. Think rock-n-roll.

August 6 | Free Peoples, Bay Area
An eclectic blend of folk, rock, soul, and jazz. Guaranteed to get you moving and grooving. Free Peoples brings you 21 years of original music that will take you to Mars and back.

August 13 | Big Mable & the Portholes
Specializing in face melting songs of the sea, Big Mable is a bit like the Beatles meeting the Temptations while fighting Blackbeard. Get ready to soak in the atmosphere as the band takes its audience on a nautical voyage through a musical fun bath of sea shanties, pub tunes and sing alongs.

August 20 | Arnold Mitchem Band
In his life journeys through the American landscape, its always been about the music. A touring musician, sideman, solo artist, or poet he’s plaved with and learned from the best from Jeff Buckley to Danny Carey and John Humphrey to Chris Whitley.
