Door:7p|Show: 7:30p
Cost: $6| 21+

33 1/3 Mile Showcase happens the 1st & 3rd Thursday of each month, showcasing local bands.  Join us this week for a night of original rocking' music.

A mainstay of the Petaluma Rock scene, The Grain has gained notoriety with local music lovers who flock to Sonoma County's best venues to get down with P-Town's most powerful quartet. Guitarist and songwriter, Pete Delaney, has played his special blend of Rock and Blues up and down the West Coast for over two decades. He is backed by the one and only Graham Stearns on bass, guitarist extraordinaire, Erik Stieg, and the funky drummer, Sean England. The Grain's music consists of a balance of well crafted original songs and classic cover tunes that often lead into extended solos and jams creating a musical environment that engages both the mind and body. 
THE LOW ROLLERS ~ "Murach's songs tend to expand out from a particular moment of longing into broad vistas of emotion. His songs bend toward beautiful sing-along harmonies, then trickle down to quiet conclusions."SF Weekly

GALEN ASH effortlessly blends the timeless story telling of the wandering folk troubadour with intricate guitar work and a sense of modern urgency. Set across the harsh landscapes of the American West, his debut album “The Age of Frozen Hearts,” stands in stark contrast to the current pop-folk revival: most of the tracks were recorded live and feature only Ash's fingerpicking and vocals. Fortunately, his guitar work is up to the task, and his vocals - somewhere between a young Leonard Cohen and a restrained Woody Guthrie - shine through on every song.
