Live at Last Name: Solid Ray Woods
Saturday, August 28 at 6:00pm

There is a sound and feel to tradition that you can't invent on the spot. One has to learn it. One has to inherit it. Solid Ray Woods has inherited and learned the sounds of the past in order to take the tradition of soul and rhythm into the future of a new American music. One listen to his voice and the steady and solid pace of his drumming, and it's easy to realize this new artist has the history of rhythm and blues, gospel, and soul on his sleeve, and is able to create a new direction for singer songwriters who sit behind the drum kit rather than the guitar.

Live at Last Name: John Surge & the Haymakers
$5 General Admission
VIP Table Reservations Available
High energy California Country - roots rockers who weave together rock ’n’ roll, country, blues and folk styles into a spirited feel good blend, a great fit for any venue from main stage to bar room, listening room to coffee house.
Years before John Surge launched his songwriting career — first as a member of power-pop bands and later as the frontman of his own country-leaning solo band, John Surge and the Haymakers — the musician grew up outside of Los Angeles. It was the early 1980s, and L.A. was a beacon for DIY-minded artists looking to create their own kind of SoCal roots music. Surge made regular trips into the city, catching shows and absorbing the diverse sounds that would eventually inspire the Haymakers' debut.
