Dirty Red Barn with Wonk Town
2023-08-17 19:00 - 23:59 (America/Los_Angeles) | The Big Easy, 128 American Alley, Petaluma, CA, 94952, United States
From Petaluma, California, Dirty Red Barn is influenced by artists such as Simon & Garfunkel, The Allman Brothers, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and Grateful Dead. Folksy lyrics and soaring harmonies, reminiscent of the Traveling Wilburys’ sound, are in this band’s wheelhouse.
In August of 2017, DRB released its debut self-titled album. Drawing from four different songwriters, 10 original tracks tell punchy and dynamic stories. Although it’s easy to detect songs influenced by the collision of blues, folk, rock, and bluegrass, it’s tricky to pin a genre other than Americana on the group. In 2019, their second album, Almost Perfect, features 9 new original tracks.
Each member of DRB brings a distinct style to his writing and performance. Hailing from Boston, Dave Brouillette, played folk songs in area pubs and later co-fronted a popular classic rock cover band for 10 years. Ben Becker has an edgier rock background from days of garage bands in college. Malcolm Johnson relocated from Iowa to LA and played straight-up rock before moving to San Francisco and being recruited by DRB. The newest member of DRB Paul Vine comes to us from Berkley and has dishes some saucy country/folk fiddle sounds.

Eric Johanson - #1 Billboard blues album!
2023-09-16 20:00 - 23:30
On The Deep and the Dirty (Released 7/28), Eric Johanson is a roots-rock innovator and modern-day guitar hero who uses blues as a springboard for an edgier, broader sound. The Louisiana native teams up with Producer Jesse Dayton (Rob Zombie, Supersuckers) and a taut power trio, firing twin barrels of sharp songwriting and fiery fretwork along the way. The album (which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Charts) arrives on the heels of four solo records that all reached the Top 10 Billboard. Johanson fills The Deep and the Dirty with revelatory anthems about embracing the modern moment and the raw, honest sounds of a band performing together live. Offering everything from roadhouse roots-rock to dark, bluesy Americana, it’s a diverse album glued together by a musician who’s never been afraid of the grey area between traditional genres.
