Bar opens at 7:00 p.m. and the Show begins at 8:00 p.m. \nThis show features one of Zappa’s most beloved vocalists of all time – Napoleon Murphy Brock. As the iconic front man for Frank Zappa’s most infamous 1970’s ensemble\, Napoleon Murphy Brock helped breathe life into many of Frank’s most enduring compositions over the course of four albums including what many consider to be Zappa’s greatest live release\, Roxy and Elsewhere. \nDecades later\, the Grammy Award-winning San Jose native’s voice and performance are as strong as ever – still boasting a four-octave range and a magnetic personality that dominates the stage. \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nGet Tickets! | $30-$38 \n\n$30 in Advance  | $38 in Advance Limited Reserved Seats (the reserved seating section will be an area closest to the stage) | $35 at the Door\nAdvance price closes at 4:00 p.m. the day of the Show\nThis is a seated show\n\n>> Caution!

Founded in 2019 by Nick Chargin – a 35-year veteran of the SF Bay Area music scene\, the Stinkfoot Orchestra has been taking their show to the stage since September of 2021 – bringing along Zappa alumni along for the ride. \nThe Stinkfoot Orchestra presents the intricacies and eccentricities of Frank’s music with power\, authenticity\, and musical prowess – leaving even the most critical Zappaphile pining for more. If you were able to catch the ensemble’s last trip to Nevada City\, you know what an amazing show to expect. If you missed it\, don’t make the same mistake twice. \n“The Stinkfoot Orchestra with Napoleon Murphy Brock admirably delivered all the musical virtuosity\, compositional non-conformity\, and satire of American culture that Frank Zappa distilled within his extensive oeuvre. The impression left upon driving home from this experience was one of deep appreciation mixed with laughter and amazement.” – Ted Silverman\, Jambase. \n  \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n Buy Tickets URL:https://minersfoundry.org/event/the-stinkfoot-orchestra-featuring-napolean-murphy-brock/ CATEGORIES:2024 And Beyond ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://minersfoundry.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/SFO_400x400_8-30-24.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240717T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240717T210000 DTSTAMP:20260613T093722 CREATED:20240619T182511Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240705T175202Z UID:46328-1721239200-1721250000@minersfoundry.org SUMMARY:Summer Nights in Nevada City DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \nThe Miners Foundry Cultural Center and KVMR are pleased to present a FREE concert series during Summer Nights in July from 6:00-9:00 p.m. at the Spring Street Stage just out front of the Miners Foundry and KVMR.\n \nDon’t miss this quirky series of summer street parties in historic Nevada City —a tradition for 32 years.

Bar opens at 6:30 p.m. and the Show begins at 7:30 p.m. \nSue Foley is a virtual triple threat as a lead guitarist\, singer and songwriter. For this show\, she plays her handmade acoustic Mexican flamenco guitar for a night of mind-blowing blues that will prove exactly why she’s earned her status as a musical virtuoso. \n“Foley has a killer voice\, an impossibly alluring blend of sex and innocence to go with those blazing guitar chops.” — Philadelphia Inquirer \n“Hot licks and tasty riffs\, all inspired by classic Texas blues.” — Vintage Guitar Magazine \n  \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nFoley spent her early childhood in Canada\, mesmerized by her father’s guitar and started her professional career at sixteen. By twenty-one\, she was living in Austin\, TX and recording for Antone’s—the esteemed blues label and historic nightclub that helped launch the career of Stevie Ray Vaughan. \nFoley is a three time consecutive winner of the Blues Music Award for Traditional Blues Female Artist (Koko Taylor Award) in Memphis TN – 2023\, 2022 and 2020. She was also recently honored with Guitarist of the Year and Blues Act of the Year at the at the 2023 Austin Music Awards\, and the Lifetime Achievement/Blues with a Feeling Award at the 2024 Maple Blues Awards. Her album\, Pinky’s Blues took home Best Traditional Blues Album at the 2022 Blues Music Awards. \nSue Foley Live in Austin Vol. 1 (Oct. 2023) has continued to top the charts and Foley’s first solo acoustic album\, One Guitar Woman – a tribute to the pioneering women of guitar\, was released March 29\, 2024. \nFoley has toured steadily with her band\, working and sharing the stage with greats such as B.B.

She’s is the only female member of the famed Jungle Show which features Gibbons\, Vaughan\, B3 virtuoso Mike Flanigin and Chris ‘Whipper’ Layton. Her live shows are high energy\, guitar driven and steeped in the Texas blues sound she was schooled in. \n\nGet Tickets! \n\n$30 Seated Advance |$35 Seated Advance Reserved (seats closest to the stage) / Advance tickets prices close at 12am June 23.\n$35 Door\n\nMiners Foundry Box OfficeTickets available online or in person at the Miners Foundry Box Office:325 Spring Street\, Nevada City\, CA 95959Tuesday – Friday | 9:00am – 4:00pm \nContact InfoPlease contact the Miners Foundry Box Office at info@minersfoundry.org with questions. \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \nSUE FOLEY— LADY PLAYS THE BLUES \nBy Deirdre Kelly \nWith her painted fingernails\, Sue Foley strokes\, strums\, shakes and shimmies a six-string\, unleashing a tone that doubles as her voice\, loud\, proud\, and true. Undistorted by pedals and multi effects\, her pure and clearcut sound reflects a cascade of sparkling notes and intricate chord changes that bedazzle like diamonds\, whether on the fretboard of her signature pink paisley Fender Telecaster or on her handmade Mexican flamenco guitar. \nThere’s polish and a poet’s sense of the profound in the execution\, rising from a technical excellence rooted in powerhouse electric blues guitar and — more recently — soulful nylon-string acoustic playing\, inclusive of Piedmont finger-picking and other traditional styles. Transparent bell sounds commingle with grit and grease on the 13 albums she has put out since her 1992 debut\, Young Girl Blues. \nThere can be no doubt that Foley deserves her hard-earned status as a musical virtuoso. Developed over decades of devoted practice\, self-directed study and incessant performance (she took up the guitar at age 13\, forming her first band just three years later)\, Foley’s playing is pristine and powerful\, attracting international attention on top of an abundance of accolades\, the most recent being the Blues with a Feeling/Lifetime Achievement at the 2024 Maple Blues Awards\, and the 2023 Blues Music Award winner for Best Traditional Blues Female – Koko Taylor Award\, her third consecutive win in that category. She’s also the recipient of a Juno Award (Canadian equivalent to a Grammy)\, multiple Austin Music Awards\, Blues Music Awards\, and Trophées de Blues de France. \nOccupying the upper echelons of her art form\, Foley epitomizes what is by now electrifyingly obvious – women rock\, and they have for a long time. “I grew up with strong female musical influences like Heart\, Linda Ronstadt and Chrissy Hyde. They taught me that talent and skills were more important than looks and fluff. Playing matters.” \nThe proof can be found once again with her latest recording\, One Guitar Woman. The 12-track album pays tribute to pioneering female guitar players whose own mastery of their instruments remains a prevailing inspiration\, pushing Foley into new artistic territory. Some of the women guitarists featured on One Guitar Woman were innovators who shaped both their musical genres and their cultures. Their ranks include Maybelle Carter\, who invented the Carter scratch style that influenced Nashville legends Chet Atkins\, Carter’s son-in-law\, Johnny Cash\, and Hank Williams; Sister Rosetta Tharpe (a.k.a. The Godmother of Rock ’n’ Roll)\, whose distinctive electric guitar playing (a mix of melodic Delta blues\, traditional gospel\, New Orleans swing and rattling rock) exerted a huge influence on Chuck Berry\, Elvis Presley and Keith Richards. \nOne Guitar Woman also pays acoustic homage to a musical heritage populated by blues and finger picking guitar heroines like Memphis Minnie and Elizabeth Cotten\, and other female prodigies such as the French classical guitarist Ida Presti and the multi-talented Andrés Segovia–trained guitarist known as Charo. Once a regular on TV’s Laugh In and the Tonight Show\, Charo was the first woman guitarist Foley remembers seeing while growing up in Ottawa as the youngest member of a guitar-playing family: “She left an indelible impression on me\, and she is the reason I play Spanish guitar.” \nFor her new record\, Foley learned to play Charo’s fiery signature version of “La Malagueña” on flamenco guitar. She also taught herself Ida Presti’s interpretation of violinist Niccolò Paganini’s virtuosic “Romance in A Minor\,” slowing it down to a nuanced instrumental caress. Foley’s ingenuity is further showcased in original compositions like “Maybelle’s Guitar\,” where the Carter scratch serves to underscore the towering influence of the Carter family’s music. As well\, her deeply felt English-language reinterpretation of Mexican guitarist and singer Lydia Mendoza’s “Mal Hombre” breathes new life into this Tejano classic. \nSet for release on March 29\, One Guitar Woman represents a convergence of female power and musical mastery that breaks new ground for others to follow. “It shows a different perspective\,” Foley says. “Hopefully it will open the gates for more girls and women to embrace their place in the history of guitar. After all\, we’ve been here all along.” \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n Buy Tickets URL:https://minersfoundry.org/event/sue-foley-one-guitar-woman-2/ CATEGORIES:2024 And Beyond ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://minersfoundry.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/MF_SF2024_400x400.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20231213T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20231213T230000 DTSTAMP:20260613T093722 CREATED:20231101T003930Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231101T003930Z UID:38169-1702497600-1702508400@minersfoundry.org SUMMARY:The Klezmatics: A Happy Joyous Hanukkah DESCRIPTION:The Miners Foundry Cultural Center is pleased to present The Klezmatics: A Happy Joyous Hanukkah\, featuring songs by Woody Guthrie on Wednesday\, December 13\, 2023.  Bar opens at 7:00 p.m. and the Show begins at 8:00 p.m. \nThe Klezmatics are world-renowned and Grammy-winning superstars of the klezmer world.

As a solo artist and with Black Uhuru\, the “Ruff” Rose has achieved great success throughout his career\, even as different Jamaican musical styles have phased in and out of popularity. Mykal kicked off his last world tour in 2018 reprising his Black Uhuru songbook. Miners Foundry is honored to present this veteran singer-songwriter and his unique Grammy award-winning voice to Nevada City this July! \nGet Tickets! | $30-40\n$30 Advanced General Admission (Standing / Dancing with Limited Seating)\n$35 Door General Admission (Standing / Dancing with Limited Seating)\nMiners Foundry Box Office \nTickets available online\, by phone or in person at the Miners Foundry Box Office:\n325 Spring Street\, Nevada City\, CA 95959\nTuesday – Friday | 9:00am – 4:00pm\n(530) 265-5040 \n \nMykal Rose\nMykal’s story doesn’t begin with Black Uhuru. In 1976\, Michael Rose was already a seasoned performer\, having honed his skills by performing on Jamaica’s hotel circuit. When an early incarnation of Black Uhuru (Ducky Simpson and Errol Nelson) approached Michael to join the group\, he already had several solo singles to his credit. These include the original “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner” and “Clap the Barber\,” both recorded for producer Niney The Observer\, and “Running Around” for Winston Campbell.\n\nHeartbeat reissued the set on CD (Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner\, HB 18)\, which includes the massive 12″ singles “Shine Eye Gal\,” “General Penitentiary\,” “Plastic Smile\,” and of course\, “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner.” At the forefront of the recordings and live shows was the charismatic Michael Rose\, who had incredible stage presence and a vocal style all his own. So popular was his trademark sound that singers like Don Carlos\, Junior Reid\, Yami Bolo\, and others embraced it as the “Waterhouse” sound.\n  \n \nSafety Procedures\nThe health and safety of our guests\, staff and community is the highest priority at the Miners Foundry.  Beginning April 1\, 2022 there are no safety protocols in effect for Miners Foundry presented indoor public events.  Please click here for more info and FAQs. \nContact Info\nPlease contact the Miners Foundry Box Office at kat@minersfoundry.org with questions.
