Hey friends! We have made the decision to cancel upcoming shows for the time being. We love live music—we love our community more. See you this weekend, masked up. #maskuporshutup #thatbitchCoronaVirus

Check it out!

We are so happy to announce that our new album is FINALLY coming out on July 4th, 2020! It's called American Spirit Blues and although it has taken a long time to complete, it's finally ready for you and it feels like the timing is right.

To pre-save this album to your Spotify, follow this link:

Album art was done by our awesome and talented friend Jeff Schleis.

We miss everyone so much during these crazy times but we are happy to see how our city has once again banded together to help each other.

If you miss seeing Wes’ happy face around town, his band White Lighter is putting on a live show on Instagram @whitelighter, 9pm on Saturday. Drink a kenmore corona and pretend like your hanging out with us at the cop top.

If you’d like to help support any of our bartenders here or at Mr. Zubs or any other local bar, check out this virtual tip jar! Amazing stuff.
