The Music
Friday night features The Jeff Jensen Band.
The Jeff Jensen Band is now on over 150 radio stations around the United States as well as stations in Denmark, England, Canada, Australia, Germany, Argentina, Belgium and many more to come. Now signed to Swing Suit Records, the Jeff Jensen Band is extensively touring the West-Coast and surrounding states.
"The Jeff Jensen Band features blues the way it's supposed to be: firm in the grasp of tradition while offering a fresh voice that can be enjoyed by any audience. Lead singer Jensen interprets original songs with authority and dishes out several covers convincingly. His band revels in this blues arena with trademark walking bass, rhythmic back beat, fiery guitar licks, piano and organ romps, and the kind of vocals that stick you in the heart" (
Jim Santella - Southaland BLUES Mag) .
Saturday night showcases CUBENSIS, the nation's only Grateful Dead tribute band personally authorized by Jerry Garcia! Jerry's only restriction..." just do a good job of it."
The group has been acclaimed for giving new life to the Dead's material, bringing in new styles, new innovations, and new jam band enthusiasts, while at the same time remaining loyal to the original music and the original fans. The band is celebrating their 20th anniversary this year.
"Cubensis plays with the same laid-back mastery as the Real McCoy" - LA WEEKLY.
