Shows at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.’s Big Room:
Wednesday, June 22, Carolyn Wonderland Band
Carolyn Wonderland’s live shows are just outright phenomenal. Top notch, five-stars, off the meter – whatever the cliché, Carolyn and her band meet it…Her voice can be as beautiful as an angel and as powerful as a Class 5 hurricane all within the drop of a hat…One thing’s for certain, some forces – even those barely five feet tall – cannot be contained.” – Dante Dominick, Rockzillaworld Magazine. “A dollop of Janis Joplin, a slice of Stevie Ray Vaughan, and a big load of soulful individuality… that’s Wonderland, a seething-hot Texas singer-guitarist. .” – Daniel Gewertz, Boston Herald. Nuff said. And yes, the dance floor is open.
Monday, June 27, The Wood Brothers
The Wood Brothers performance in the Big Room in January of 2015 is considered by many Big Room regulars as the “show of the year” in 2015! With Oliver Wood on guitar and vocals, Chris Wood on bass and vocal and Jano Rix on percussion and vocals, this trio presents a uniquely soulful approach to the roots/Americana genre. This is their only “small club” appearance during their June travels through California. Get your tickets early as this is guaranteed to be a quick sellout and yes, the dance floor is open.
