Want to have lunch with the Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir at his Sweetwater Music Hall in California? Or with the Disco Biscuits bassist Marc Brownstein in Philadelphia? How about breaking bread with former White House Chief-of-Staff Peter Rouse in Washington DC, or music entrepreneur Peter Shapiro in New York? They are all members of the board of directors of the non-profit voter registration organization HeadCount, and they’ll be sitting down for private lunches with supporters of the cause.

The Blue Mountain Community Renewal Council, a 501C3- non-profit, is partnering with HUMANITY RISING - Share the Spirit, A Butte Fire Benefit on December 19th at the Calaveras County Fairgrounds.

Dirty-fuzz-punk-blues rockers The Floors who have been turning heads for the past four years are ready to drop their newest track ‘Join The Fight’. The track is a reflection on the question every musician asks themselves at one point or another “Is what I’m doing worth it” - the angular guitar riff, sledge hammer drums, driving bass and Luke Dux’s gruff vocals come together to make a beautiful and messy anecdote in their signature fuzzed out style. 

Austin, Texas based Sour Bridges will play 8 shows in Colorado next month.  Check out tour dates here.
