Vince's Hot Picks (Best of 2026): "... a warm, road-worn album that leans into rich acoustic tones while freely bending genres without ever breaking the feel. Built around a mostly unplugged framework, the record draws from country blues, roots rock, Zydeco, Tex-Mex, New Orleans rhythms, Motown soul, singer-songwriter traditions, and even Brazilian textures, all woven together with an easy confidence that sounds earned, not assembled."

464 1st St E, Sonoma, CA 95476 (707) 935-0660 ...with plenty of outdoor seating that includes both Murphy's Irish Pub and Taste of the Himalayas.

...songs from all over the map... originals and reworked classics by Hank Williams, Taj Mahal, Dan Hicks, Big Bill Broonzy, Bob Wills, Jimmy Reed, Joseph & Cleome Falcon and Bobby Charles.

what a sample? check out the "Dusty Road I'm On" video: youtu.be/jj0IIkUyrE4 ...a twangy roots rock number with a Cajun flavor and hints of Jesse Ed Davis and Sid Page....

"...everything from alt. rock to cajun, to country, to Brownie Ford era Western Swing. But the thing that keeps this set together is their excellent songwriting full of smooth never-miss-a-beat lines and vivid imagery. It's a studio album but it sure does have a back porch jam band feel to it" - Calvin Powers, WHUP-FM, americanamusicshow.com,
