"Loretta Lynch plays the sort of California country-lover's country that has no past, as if it rolled in on a wave one day and set up shop. Buttery vocal harmonies and wary rhythms convey timeless tales about heartbreak, coming home, and growing old that still manage to sound utterly modern." - Nate Seltenrich, East Bay Express

Another magical mountain weekend, the same memorable event we played in 2022 and 2024: lively local bluegrass and food trucks on the lawn of the Hellman mansion at Sugar Pine Point State Park, the Lake Tahoe sunset glowing behind us. Dancing on the grass, beautiful mountain weather (including showers - bring an umbrella!)
ABOUT US
Ya'll-ternative
"Americana Noir":
A little tear in your beer,
a little knife in the back,
a crumpled love letter stuck to a warehouse door with a twist
of rusty barbed wire ...
~~~~~
With lush three-part
harmonies and raucous
surf-tinged guitar, we play
Country-Folk-Blues originals, swingy 80's punk covers and
bent classic Standards,
dredging up the dark heart of Americana
and lovingly setting it on fire
