En
Vivo Band
Date:
June 10
More than 17 years ago, a group of well-talented musicians formed a band that is known today as EN VIVO, a Latin Style band comprised of six well-talented and seasoned musicians. They originally formed as “Amigos” and maintained that name for many years. However, in 2009, after having to share the name Amigos with other known bands, they made a decision to change their name to “EN VIVO”, which captures the essence of their energetic and lively sound. EN VIVO is known for their smooth yet rich quality of sound and energy with their original songs as well as their own arranged favorite cover-tunes. As En Vivo performs, they keep their crowd dancing and moving while also having the ability to touch their hearts with the soul and words of their original music.

Date:
July 22 The Tamsen Donner Band, or TDB, was formed in 1996 and is made up of four Bay Area natives. Clockwise from the upper left it's J.D. Dills (guitar), Dave Rogers (drums), Chris Rogers (guitar) and Jim Vermeys (bass). These players came together based on a common love for the music of Albert King, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Jimmy Witherspoon, Robert Johnson, Charles Brown, and many more. Formerly the Tamsen Donner Memorial Blues Band, the current moniker was born out of the musical growth of TDB, busting out beyond the blues category with original songs that are difficult to categorize. While the blues is still a huge part of the band's live show, the originals have really started to define the sound of TDB. Whether it's a rollicking shuffle, a funky dance tune, a bluesy ballad, or a rocking instrumental, the energy is high, the sound is pure, and the passion is sincere. Tamsen Donner Band has recorded two CD's: "Tamsen Donner Blues Band" from 2001, and a live show released in 2005 called "Tuolumne Blues." The TDB song list numbers over 150, both original and covers. We hope to play for you soon! Check out their web site at http://www.tamsendonner.com Food Vendor: TBA |

Lumberyard Date: September 2
LUMBERYARD was inspired by the great
San Francisco cover band "Curveball"
although we don't do a lot of funk
or have 12 horns and three back up
singers. We do have a rotating cast
of musicians though with one
constant, the inimitable Dan
DeShara. (He owns the PA and lights,
so natch!) The name came courtesy of
Jeff Slingerland as we were trying
to think of rarely used words that
everybody already knows. The word
LUMBERYARD seemed to be earthy yet
not dirty, obtuse yet still
intelligent, appealing without being
repulsive and lastly; visually
stimulating. Men think of building
workshops and women think of knotty
pine. Somehow it works...
The music itself flows from the
"great fountain of musical
gestation" era, imho, 1965-1975.
Here can be found many of the
musical building blocks/primordial
stew, if you will, of the
pop/rock/blues/funk/spoken word
disco/temporal formats that
constitute our song list. It harkens
back to the day when an orange
haired person wearing a powder blue
leisure suit on trumpet could "jam"
(to improvise over a designated
chord structure or sometimes just
one chord) with a leather clad 18th
Century Dandy on swizzle stick not
to mention the platform shoe wearing
bassist in a neon nurse's uniform.
Difficult to imagine in this uptight
modern day world! Food Vendor: TBA |

Russ and Scott Bell grew up in Houston, Texas before moving to California in 1980, but country roots had set in and there was no escaping that southern twang influence. The Bell Brothers deliver original but familiar sound through their blend of highly energetic country and roots rock. Their harmony voices weave tightly together to produce a signature style achieved by a lifetime of singing together as brothers. Over the years Russ and Scott have been influenced by artists such as Roy Orbison, Keith Urban, Willie Nelson, Rascal Flatts, Alabama, and The Eagles. Through their original songs, the Bell Brothers express heartfelt sentiments as well as humor and good times- all things that they enjoy sharing with friends and family and are continually living life to explore and refine. Their songwriting has been acknowledged, with several of their original works being picked up by Sherrill Blackman, Universal South, Hit Writers and Sony Nashville. The Bell Brothers have opened up for many top Nashville country acts including Rascal Flatts, Jason Aldean, Chris Cagle, Phil Vassar, and Emerson Drive...to name a few. With years of performance experience, the Bell Brothers have an exciting, intuitive, very live, and energetic stage presence in any venue. Check
