BottleRock Napa Featured Band of the Day is The Lumineers

March 4, 2016

We are very excited to announce The Lumineers as our Featured BottleRock Napa Band of the Day. I have been waiting to catch The Lumineers live and can’t wait for them to perform at this year’s festival. Their folk rock is amazing and completely connects the listener as they take you on a musical journey of emotion. They bring a depth to their sound which is challenging for a three person band, but definitely not for them. They paint a picture with their music and you are simply captivated with them. They are set to release their new album, Cleopatra on April 8th and are setting out on a World Tour. Many of the dates have already been sold out! Their new song Ophelia is mesmerizing and will have you begging for more. We can’t wait for the new album and to their set at BottleRock! The Lumineers are: Wesley Schultz – singer, guitar Jeremiah Fraites – drums Neyla Pekarek – cello, vocals Music: New album Cleopatra set to release on April 8th Preorder on iTunes here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/cleopatra-deluxe/id1072936167?app=itunes [Read More]

BottleRock Napa Featured Band of the Day is The Iron Heart

March 3, 2016

We are very excited to see the return of The Iron Heart to BottleRock Napa 2016. The Iron Heart is a powerful hard rock trio from Napa that melts influences of blues and even punk which is quite welcoming. They truly make a bold statement with their music and deliver an energetic hard rocking blues infused set. They have a great hard rock style and it is fueled with the passionate vocals of Thomas. His soulful unique voice really evokes a lot of emotion when he sings and you can’t help but feel a connection to the music. Justin has this sexy swagger when he plays and it is infectious as you find yourself moving around with the sultry basslines. Joel on drums brings out a great big bold sound and brings it all together with his precision drumming. We can’t wait for everyone to check them out. The Iron Heart is: Thomas Fine – Vocals/Guitar Justin Altamura – Bass Joel Fennie – Drums Music: EP V and you can pick it up on iTunes here. Songs [Read More]

March 2, 2016

We are pleased to announce Michael Franti and Spearhead as our featured BottleRock Napa Band of the Day today. We are so excited to see Michael return to BottleRock as he truly feeds your soul with his amazing music. Last year the crowds went wild when Michael was performing on stage or simply doing an acoustic song or two as he traveled the festival site. Michael has just announced his Soul Rocker Tour for this summer. Michael tells more about it, “I make music because I believe it can change people’s lives and make a difference in the world — it has the power to give us new energy and connects us to a stronger sense of purpose. This summer’s tour will be an opportunity for us all to come together, to celebrate life, each other and what it truly feels like to be alive. It will be a great summer to rock out! See y’all on the road for the SOULROCKER TOUR!” soul·rocker 1. One who lives from the heart, with compassion for all, [Read More]

We are set to kick off our BottleRock Napa Featured Band of the Day. What better way to kick it off than with the fun surf punk rock band, The Deadlies. They are truly one of the funnest bands to check out during the festival. The Deadlies can be described as a California surf punk/rock band with a little Honky Tonk and Country thrown in. One thing is for sure, when you listen to The Deadlies, you can’t help but move around and have some fun!
