Put on your dancin' shoes, open your ears and join the party! The THUGZ, aka "tribal hippie underground zone" are sure to provide a fun time for all with their brand of original and classic jam rock.Based in western Sonoma County, Calif., this multi-faceted band has delighted music fans of all ages and tastes. Rock, blues, country, psychedelic, and various world music styles blend together at a Thugz show to bring the "positive vibes" of the "60's into the 21st century. Informed by the music of Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead, the Beatles, Miles Davis, and others; the Thugz' original songs and cosmic jams help to create a fun and communal spirit between band and audience.No two Thugz shows are exactly the same, but the spirit and love of music making are always present.

BORIS GARCIA quickly evolved into one of the most unique Americana / Jam bands in the land. They masterfully blend acoustic and electric instrumentation with American roots sensibility and melody that envelopes like a warm robe.Their brand new CD “Today We Sail” was produced by Railroad Earth fiddler Tim Carbone and is their fourth national release. Eleven new tunes showcase Boris Garcia’s ability to tell a story and forge a lasting melody; love and compassion, tales of higher order and sometimes personal disorder, songs that speak to the human condition. The title track “Walking Barefoot” speaks of faith, faith in one’s self and of drawing lines in life’s “sand”. “Deaf, Dumb and Blind” beckons wonderful, heartfelt new love and haunting calling while “Mighty High” speaks not of getting high, but of being high, really high on life’s beauty and wonder. “Today We Sail” was over one year in the making and features the fiddle of musical guest Tim Carbone.
