Major Powers & The Lo-Fi Symphony is our Bottle Rock Napa 2014 Featured Band of the Day

March 28, 2014

Today our Bottle Rock Napa Featured Band is Major Powers & The Lo-Fi Symphony. Allow me to introduce you to an amazing new band that I just discovered. I was in the midst of our Bottle Rock Napa features and one of the bands I was to check out was Major Powers & The Lo-Fi Symphony. That was several hours ago and I still haven’t been able to get the smile off my face. These three guys have created a sound they call “Adventure Rock”, I call it DAMN FINE MUSIC! Fun rockin music that is purely good for the soul. They have such a playful sense in their lyrics and melodies that you can’t help but enjoy them. I can only imagine how they would be LIVE! The first song that I heard was their hit 93,000,000 Miles and the intro reminds me of the larger than life sound of Queen and I swear I thought I found a long lost Queen tape! The song is SPECTACULAR! You will not want to turn [Read More]

Breakaway Patriot is our Bottle Rock Napa 2014 Featured Band of the Day

March 27, 2014

Today our Bottle Rock Napa Featured Band is Breakaway Patriot from San Francisco. Breakaway Patriot has an Alternative Rock/Pop Rock feel to them but don’t let me categorize them because they have music that will span the genre boundaries. Emotionally driven lyrics, catchy hooks and melodic choruses is exactly what they deliver. Once you take a first listen, you will be hooked. Their song Jessika Raine is fantastic and has an amazing intro that I love. It has such a bluesy rock feel, spirited beat and along with the passionate vocals, definitely a hit. Breakaway Patriot gained a lot of notoriety when their song, Flying on the Water was selected as the official theme song for the 2013 America’s Cup in San Francisco. It was great for them to get the attention they deserve. You can purchase their song Flying on the Water as well as their EP Strong on Itunes. I am sure you will be hearing a lot more from this great band. Here is our quick band feature: Band Members: Brad Tyner – [Read More]

So we are glad to see that The Sorry Lot will be “performing renditions of traditional drinking songs, as well as a few modern ballads and original tunes, while keeping the music true to it’s roots in the pubs and bars of Ireland.” Now this sounds like a lot of rowdy fun that I am going to enjoy! You are treated to a variety of instruments form banjos, mandolin, fiddle, accordion, guitars and so much more. It is a fusion of musical delight in true Irish fashion.
