July 12 :: The Knights of Monte Carlo!!$0 Let us be clear– Knights of Monte Carlo are not a cover band, but are the embodiment of an era when pina coladas, ocean breezes, key parties, beards, and afternoon delights ruled the day; a time when out of every AM radio came the smooth, sultry, sexy, sounds of soft rock. www.knightsofmontecarlo.com

July 19, 3PM :: Guitar Shorty, The Beer Gardeners$0 (SPECIAL NOTE: 3pm EARLY START with Opening Act)$0 Listen to blues with headliner Guitar Shorty. The Beer Gardeners, a local group, will open the afternoon. Learn more about Guitar Shorty at www.guitarshorty.org.

August 2 :: "Tahoe Favorites" - Mumbo Gumbo$0 Mumbo Gumbo blends many genres, from rock to soul, afropop to lush balladry, zydeco to country, into a celebratory, danceable noise. For nearly 20 years Mumbo Gumbo has created something that is less a specific style than a particular feeling - The sound of sheer joy. Find our more at www.mumbogumbo.com

August 9 :: "Rock Legends" - The Blasters$0 The Blasters project the essence of small streets of post-war neighborhoods, car culture and the sun-bleached concrete of Downey, California.  Influenced by the likes of The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, and many others who came and went during the 1950's, The Blasters play the songs of the working man's curse and rock and roll romance.
