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]

  Today our Bottle Rock Napa Featured Band is The Sorry Lot. You can’t have a successful festival in Napa without some fun Irish drinking music, can you?  Definitely not! 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. The Sorry Lot is a seven piece band from Napa and have played regularly all over the Bay Area at pubs and Breweries. What started as a St. Patrick’s Day side project with members from local bands in 2007 has turned in to a dedicated band who performs year round. They provide the fun music and create an atmosphere [Read More]
