The Basement Brothers are an acoustic trio of Bob
Rawlins (bass), Arne Hurty (guitar) and Dave Cooper
(mandolin) with roots in the SF Bay Area. Nearly every song
rings with vocal harmonies, often in threes. Their songs span a
century and a half of American songs. They are as likely to play
Devil Makes Three or the Buzzcocks, the Rolling Stones or
Merle Travis as they are to play a 1920’s jazz standard or a
fiddle tune. However, they might just dazzle with a collection of
originals. It all depends on set and setting. Come see the
eclectic stirrings of the Basement Brothers.

Public Safety is a Denver based ‘Rock N’ Soul’ band that incorporates rock, blues, funk, and soul into their music, and performs sets that include original songs and well known covers.

CarnyMusic is the solo project of Mike Carnahan, lead singer of the SF western-psych band The Green Door. In a shift from the expansive, mythological themes of the West that embodies The Green Door, CarnyMusic explores the raw, personal, and even solitary human condition as well as its dynamic relationship to an ever-changing world. Most of the time presenting as stripped down and spare with just guitar and vocals, CarnyMusic also collaborates with other musicians. The outcome is a varied mixture of sonic possibilities that stretch across a range of emotions, experiences, and intensities.

The Treacherous French are an eclectic indie rock band hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area. The songs they write are catchy yet complex, while staying true to their indie, blues, country, and alt-rock roots. The lineup consists of a group of four multi-instrumentalists from differing backgrounds ranging from folk rock to punk rock to dance rock to Celtic jazz folk fusion. The standard lineup of rock band instruments is well represented: bass, guitar, drums, vocals, keys - but if you listen closely, you may hear some twists as well: accordion, mandolin, harmonica, glockenspiel, washboard, kalimba - and this blend of styles and instrumentation is what makes The Treacherous French what it is.

On February 4th, 2017 three guys from the East Bay started a band, they put their collective heads together in order to come up with a name that would inspire a generation. Instead they came up with Violet Island. These days Violet Island has four members, Adrian (Vocals/Guitars), Newman (Bass), Felipe (Drums), and Lizzie (Everything Else). With the help of their trusty pet Jelly Fish they are setting out to follow the footsteps of the bands that inspired them.
