Thursday, June 5: Diablo's Dust
Tom and Sarah Kilts are the "damned duo" that make up Diablo's Dust. In their live performances, Tom takes turns playing guitar and banjo, all the while keeping time with one foot kicking a bass drum and the other pedal kicking a block and tambourine. Sarah plays bass, and both lend their vocals to a blend of high test Americana-Indie-Folk originals and Old-Tymie covers.

Friday, June 6: The Green Machine
Rising out of the post Garcia Dead head and Reggae scenes of the late 90's, Green Machine's constantly evolving sound has found its way into the hearts of music lovers everywhere. After years of experimentation with all most every genre they have come up with a unique sound that can only be described as reggadelic jam jazz. If you get chance check out a GM show - it's truly a feast for the eyes, ears and soul.

Thursday, June 12: Fleeting Trance
"A great bunch of instrumentalists...leap(ing) from one style to another between songs. First some building stoner/droner spacerock and then a total 180 into a few peppy indie pop numbers--real honest-to-pete indie pop with happy melodies and bright lyricism. Then an unexpected detour into '70's reggae...a great show."
- D.J. Mystery Guest, KUSF

Thursday, June 26: Fred Odell
Fred Odell crafts songs that come from the varied terrain of Southern living
and the stark desert nights of California. They’re as home around the campfire
as they are in a smoky honky-tonk. He writes with a soulful spirit and a lonely
heart that brings to mind the influences of  Townes Van Zandt, Gram Parsons
and The Allman Brothers..
