Show: Dec 23 at Belly Up w/Rosie Flores

It's that time of the year again, and it's our

2nd Annual Country Christmas show

 at Belly Up Tavern, Solana Beach, CA. 

This show will sell out...get tix HERE!

I'm thrilled to bring you a killer roots rockin' and honky-tonkin' lineup:

7pm: Sleepwalkers

The Sleepwalkers have been playing authentic Americana & Roots Rock since 1992. They specialize in original American music styles ranging from Blues, Country, Tex-Mex, R&B, Cumbias, and their own brand of down-home Rock & Roll.

8pm Brawley w/Rosie Flores

 A set by Brawley AND a set with Brawley backing up Rosie Flores!

Born in San Antonio, TX and raised in Southern California, Rosie Flores' music blends the best of honky-tonk, rockabilly, and jazz with the traditional sounds of her Tex-Mex heritage. Since the late 70s, she has been an important figure in the Los Angeles, Austin, TX and Nashville music scenes. Rosie's reputation as a high octane rockabilly star is well established. Critical raves from prestigious publications such as the Los Angeles Times and Guitar Player magazine leave no doubt about her talent for filling dance floors and lighting up rooms with her blazing guitar solos. 

10pm NancarrowFronted by singer/songwriter Graham Nancarrow, the band infuses raw energy and classic tones to create and perform their own unique brand of the American song. The style is pure, and rooted in the rich traditions of country and alternative music.

Every first Sunday at Solace & Moonlight Lounge, Encinitas CA.

7-9pm No Cover with food & drink specials all night!

Gretsch girl...

I'm honored to be featured in the newest Gretsch guitar catalog, representing their gorgeous Roots Collection.  I love my Gretsch New Yorker. It's mellow, sweet sounds work perfectly for my bluesy, jazzy country style, yet it also packs enough punch to keep up with the rigors of touring with Cash'd Out!

When I'm in more of a rockin' out mode, I play a Gretsch Black Phoenix. It only has ONE KNOB. And badass twang, swing and swagger.

What's Up at the Belly Up Podcast Feature

New Episode out!! Don't mess with Nena Anderson!

A singer songwriter, honky tonk, blues and Americana chick that suggested we drank whiskey in the mid-afternoon. We tell the truth on what can happen if you drink too much carrot juice, talk about turning fan letters into songs and compare Damian to a giraffe that looks like Prince. We drank Bulleit Rye with Bundaberg Ginger Beer.

Brawley's BarRoom Ball - May 20

Got plans for Wednesday night?  You do now!

Wed. May 20, 2015  ||  7pm doors • 8pm show

Brawley's BarRoom Ball 

at

Belly Up Tavern, Solana Beach Ca
Tickets HERE or at the door

I'm hosting a great night of music featuring my band, Brawley, 

along with two Award-Winning Americana bands, 

The Freightshakers and Sara Petite & The Sugar Daddies.

I am thrilled to finally be bringing you Brawley's BarRoom Ball! The BarRoom Ball is a series of concerts featuring 3 live bands, local or guests, in the genres of American music: Country, Western Swing, Outlaw Country, Alt Country, Americana, Roots Rock, or Rockabilly. With an open wide dance floor and a world-class sound system and staff, we are proud to present these shows at Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, CA.  Original music only (no tribute bands or cover bands)

Here's a little more about the bands this month:

Sara Petite & The Sugar Daddies: Sara Petite is a gifted singer-songwriter who possesses the unique ability to reach the hearts and souls of fans young and old. She has the rare gift to craft songs that appeal equally, but are interpreted differently by fans of diverse perspectives. This comes through in her live performances as well. A true original, Sara's music does not conveniently fit into any one musical genre or sub-category, but rather traces her influences in country, bluegrass, rock and folk, and emerges into a sound completely her own. As welcome in senior citizen centers as she is in biker bars, nightclub venues and festivals, Sara is as American as apple pie and Harley Davidson. She is gritty, she is wild, she is tender with a soul of a child.

Freightshakers : Ameripolitan Award Winner 2015, Outlaw Country. So while everyone sits around moaning the blues about the "death of the LA Country scene"...these boys fly a big finger in the face of the 70's rock that is being passed off as country music on the radio. Led by Gethen Jenkins who arrived in Southern California via West Virginia and Alaska (somebody get that boy a damn map!!) these boys are keeping country alive regardless of FM radio. Throw on a worn-out truckers cap, pop open something cold and cheap, and get ready for a good time!
  And for fun, a video from our BarRoom Ball in December

BarRoom Ball March 26

I'm hosting (with Brawley) a new series of shows at Belly Up Tavern...starting March 26.  Join us for Brawley's BarRoom Ball for the best in Americana, Country, Roots, and Western Swing... homegrown and bands and our friends that happen to be passing through town!

Thursday's show features: 

<< Brawley at 8pm >>
Featuring Nena Anderson, Adrian Demain, David Berzansky, Dale Daniel and Jim Austin

<< Sam Outlaw at 9pm >>

Sam is the talk of the town...he has just recorded a record with Ry Cooder and has been featured as one of Rolling Stone Country's "one to watch."  His band also features San Diego's own Molly Jenson. Sam writes original songs that seek to capture the spirit of the classic country music he learned from his favorite singers: George Jones, Willie Nelson, Gene Watson, Don Williams, Keith Whitley, Dwight Yoakam, etc.  This band is a new, original upcoming artist you won't want to miss.

<< Alex Woodard at 10pm >>

Alex is an incredible storyteller, crafting tales of love, loss and life and supported by a band that hints at influences of Springsteen and Petty, yet completely his own.  He has toured nationally behind five critically-acclaimed albums, earning prestigious industry nods and sharing the stage with some of today’s most popular acts. His book/album package "For The Sender" (Hay House) features his story of release and redemption woven through songs written about real-life letters. When he’s not surfing in his beach town north of San Diego, Alex lives with a big dog and bigger horse in the mountains of Idaho.
