For over 25 years, Mumbo Gumbo has been one of Northern California’s top groups, bringing genre-bending Americana music to their many fans. Fronted by two first-rate singer/songwriters, Chris Webster and Tracy Walton, the band is anchored and driven by one of the region’s longest-lived rhythm sections: drummer Rick Lotter and bassist Lynn Michael Palmer. With Reggy Marks’ sax, Jon Wood’s guitar, and Steve Stizzo’s keyboards fleshing out the band’s expansive sound, Gumbo has built a reputation not just for danceability, but for creative depth.
It starts with the songs. Moving back and forth between Webster’s sly, sometimes melancholy explorations of romance and individuality and Walton’s ebullient, unabashed celebrations of family and commitment, Gumbo weaves a rich tapestry of sound and sensibility that transcends genre. Coloring the space between the kinetic rhythm section and the intertwined singers are three veteran musicians: Marks, whose saxophone, flute, percussion and soulful harmonies add a third voice to the sound; Stizzo, whose exquisit work on organ, piano, and accordion add character as well as color; and Wood, whose guitar playing weaves in and out, shading the rhythms and occasionally lending a sharp, melodic solo.
The result can be positively relentless, as the band’s extended jams drive dancers wild while giving non-dancers plenty to listen to!
Bob Woods started playing in 1971 with the Sacramento Western Swing band, Tokpela. A Western Swing Hall of Fame Inductee, he’s shared the stage with the Surfaris, Tiny Moore, Bill Kirchen, Albert Lee, Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, Billy Joe Shaver, and many others. You never know who might share the stage with Bob Woods! Woods has released seven original albums: Hillbilly Cadillac, The Night We Stole the Last Steam Engine, Don’t Forget the Trains, Almost Live, Railroad Money, This Town, and Swampbilly.
The Miners Foundry is pleased to present the Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball on Saturday, February 25, 2017. Deadbeats will headline the evening with special guest, Sgt Funky. The evening will feature a no host full bar and cajun food available for purchase. Costumes and masks are encouraged! Doors open at 7:00 p.m. and the music starts at 8:00 p.m. This is a standing / dancing show with limited seating available. Tickets are $25. Ticketing fees may apply. Tickets are available online, by phone, or in person at the Miners Foundry, or at Briar Patch Co-Op.
The Deadbeats formed in the summer of 1994 on the notion they could pull off some reasonable Grateful Dead covers. Soon it was apparent the band was onto something – a certain indefinable sound that captures the essence of a Dead show. Twenty-two years later the Deadbeats continue to evolve with original members Tom Menig , Eric Menig and Gary Campus being joined by Rob Kopp (drums), Glen Tucker (keyboards) and newest member Peter Wilson (guitar) for this Mardi Gras journey into the music of one of America’s most enduring bands.
Sgt. Funky is a six-person rock band specializing in playing the songs “You Forgot You Liked,” everything from the Beatles and the British Invasion, Eric Clapton, the Zombies, the Yardbirds and Van Morrison to the B-52s and the Go-Gos. Drawing from a master list of more than 100 tunes, they play both r&b ballads and high energy dance tunes with a little psychedelic thrown in for fun. The band has been together for eight years and recently added a female bassist, a singer and two dancers to the core band of experienced musicians you can often spot playing with a number of other local bands. Sgt. Funky audiences love the energy, enthusiasm, and humor the band brings to all its performances!
