You Knew Me When

Outfitted with an array of instruments, You Knew Me When are a folk-rock duo that present a full band sound. While blending their vocals, Karisa, provides the piano, ukulele, glockenspiel, and percussive elements, as Cie supplies the guitar and other rhythmic nuances. The cumulative result is a musical style and live show that blends a singer-songwriter soul with a rock ‘n roll mentality.

6:30pm

Whiskey West

Whiskey West combines the sounds of outlaw country, bluegrass and honky tonk to create an edgy toe tapping, good time acoustic honky-tonk sound. Kinda like if Johnny Cash & June Carter adopted a freight train, gave it some acoustic instruments and a drum kit asked Tom Waits to conduct the combo and said “play something that swings.”

6:30pm

Nomad

Singer-songwriter Dave “Nomad” Miller writes songs filled with thought-provoking lyrics and great melodies that linger. He shares original heart-on-sleeve, travel-worn songs as well as select covers, performed solo-acoustically as well as with his full band Drifting Compass.

6:30pm

Will Breman

Santa Barbara-based singer/songwriter Will Breman’s style is as eclectic as his background. His musical upbringing began with voice lessons from his mother and teaching himself guitar. Since then, Will has tried everything from screaming in metal bands to serenading at coffee shops, and most recently playing banjo in bluegrass groups and touring across the nation.

Will’s live performance has evolved over the years, and he currently uses a technique called “live looping” – a process where he records and plays back multiple instrument parts in real time, creating a “one man band” ‘effect. Meticulous at arranging his songs, Will believes this setup is truest to what he wants to express to his audiences.

Love Beer? Love a good book? We’re teaming up with Bookshop Santa Cruz once again for their 5th Annual Books & Brews summer series, literary events at local breweries and beer houses! Pick up a passport from Bookshop Santa Cruz and join us at New Bohemia Brewing (6/20), Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing (7/25), Discretion Brewing (8/15) & Lupulo (9/5).

At Discretion on 8/15 at 7pm, we’ll be welcoming Kira Jane Buxton to discuss her new book, Hollow Kingdom. One pet crow fights to save humanity from an apocalypse in this uniquely hilarious debut from a genre-bending literary author. “A plucky hero, a boisterous tale, startling prose and eerie events combine for a thoroughly enjoyable account of the end of the world as we know it. The Secret Life of Pets meets The Walking Dead.” ― Karen Joy Fowler

This event is FREE and open to attend to anyone over the age of 21.
