Crooked Shoes with Logan Estill
2025-12-30 19:30 - 22:00
Petaluma’s Crooked Shoes’ original music is unafraid to confront the “better left unsaid,” turning obsession, self-destruction, and malice into potent, unforgettable hooks. Their music is moody yet danceable. This band is not background music. It is a brutal, honest reflection of the dark, compelling forces that drive us when the light “bleeds out from an empty street.”
Logan Estill:
Santa Rosa, CA singer songwriter bringing an alternative country edge to both his original songwriting and select covers.

The Social Contractors Rock The Big Easy!
2026-01-10 20:00 - 23:00
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“….Get ready for the super-entertaining sounds of local band The Social Contractors. They totally rock, in all the right ways…” – Argus-Courier, 2025
The Social Contractors deliver an upbeat blend of original rock and classic hits from the 60s-90s, featuring melodic vocals, searing guitar and sax solos, and a dynamic rhythm section that will get you moving on the dance floor!
The local “all-star” line up includes Travis Thayer of CozyCats and Blue Seven (sax/keys/vocals), Rob Neidel of The Hyperdrive Kittens (bass/vocals), Chris Oatman of The Receders (drums), and Jason E. Davies (guitar/vocals).
In addition to interpretations of hit classics from bands you know and love (e.g. The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Police, Men At Work, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Steely Dan, Tears For Fears, U2, Stevie Wonder, Steve Miller, Gerry Rafferty, and more), Jason’s tightly crafted tunes feature improvised solos with pointed lyrics that span edgy political and environmental themes to tales of unrequited love and introspection – all with an ultimately optimistic perspective on the possible.
Join us on Saturday, January 10th from 8 PM for an evening of great live music, full bar beverages, delicious food, and positive socialization with The Social Contractors!
