S.R. Laws LIVE
2022-02-11 20:00 - 23:30 | The Big Easy, 128 American Alley, Petaluma, CA, 94952, United States
with FOREVER GOLDRUSH
S.R. Laws is an American singer-songwriter, musician and recording artist inspired by storytellers like John Hiatt, Lou Reed, and J.J. Cale. He combines influence from songwriters such as Todd Snider, Bruce Springsteen, Lucinda Williams and Bob Seger with early life experiences wandering the train tracks through wheat fields and smelling the fruit ripening in the orchards. The results are lyrics and musical arrangements that remind the listener of bands like Crowded House, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, and Neil Young. Through forthright lyrics that are personal and earnest, this artist composes “lyrical pictures,” taking snapshots from the most common walks of life filtered through his own joy and tribulations. S.R. Laws captures time in the imagery of a journeyman’s perspective; from the mother working behind the bar every night and the multicultural kitchen workers to your darts playing uncle and the jukebox repairman. It is through uplifting songs and heartfelt-inspiring lyrics that allow S.R. Laws and his characters to “break the ice” with his toe-tapping crowd.

Spike Sykes and the Awesome Hotcakes
2022-02-05 19:30 - 23:00 | The Big Easy, 128 American Alley, Petaluma, CA, 94952, United States
“No one is making this kind of music anymore!”
But what, exactly, is “this kind of music?”
Like hotcakes themselves, it goes by many names. Soul. Swing. Rhythm & Blues. Jazz. Jump. It’s a sound that’s classic and simple, but when it’s done right, it hits the spot, and has you grinning from ear to ear. Spike has spent years searching for this sound.
From the Texas blues joints he cut his teeth into the funky halls of New Orleans, he was always studying the music, trying to find just the right recipe. It makes perfect sense that he found his bandmates in Sonoma County, a music scene that has fostered many eclectic artists for decades.
What he didn’t know was how hungry audiences were for “this kind of music.” You might say they’ve been eating it up like…Hotcakes!
