Pacific Range is rooted in the beautiful, sunshiny-coast of California. The band’s style takes from many influences ranging from The Allman Brothers and Grateful Dead, to The Band and The Flying Burrito Brothers. Santa Rosa Records says “ it sounds like an ethereal mashup of 1960’s psychedelia and Mac DeMarco-esque guitars”

The band has released a self titled album, and has new music on the way. They play up and down the west coast having notable place like Topanga Days Music Festival, Terrapin Crossroads, Pappy & Harriet’s, and The Echo. Their old school vibes, and energetic show, make for a great live experience.

Flypaper Blues

Santa Cruz based Americana band Flypaper Blues is straight out of your grandfather’s rifle barrel. A little whiskey, coffee grinds, 2-in-1 oil and whole lot of fiddle. Driving drums, bass rhythms. This 100% homegrown, local band brings influences from traditional bluegrass, post punk, ragtime, to alt-county genres. Songwriting is personal, comedic, and inspired by the existential need to transcend the hazards and pitfalls of modern life with soul nourishing music.

Michael Gaither & His New Best Friends

Michael Gaither and His New Best Friends backs Michael’s Americana originals and mixes in fun covers from the likes of Tom Petty, The Band, and Little Feat. They’ll be in trio mode at Discretion Brewing, with Michael on vocals, guitar, and banjo, Eliza James on harmony vocals, and Joe Bac on lead guitar.

A California native, Michael takes the “write what you know” idea to heart, crafting songs that showcase both the nostalgia of small-town life and the foibles of modern technology, always with plenty of humor in the mix. He turned to songwriting after a background in journalism and a narrow brush with standup comedy. He recently released his fourth studio album, Hey Karma, which is getting plenty of airplay on local and international radio.

“Gaither’s sense of humor and keen observation of the human experience preside over his clever Americana originals.”(Amanda Martinez, Good Times Santa Cruz).
