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]

March 1, 2016

  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! They are “paying homage to the Ventures Dick Dale and the Chantays as well as the California Honky-tonk sound of Buck Owens and Dwight Yoakam while keeping an under lying presence of the California surf punk scene that brought us the Dickies, Agent Orange and Top Jimmy and the Rhythm Pigs.” We caught up with a couple of the guys at NAMM 2016 check out our quick chat: Band Members: James Patrick Regan – Guitar Bob St. Laurent – Bass Tymber – Drums Music:  The Deadlies  available on iTunes here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-deadlies/id994717753 [Read More]
