Bryan Kehoe
THE KEHOE NATION. Ladies and gentlemen… boys and girls… children of all ages… step right up! Witness the musical oddity that is “THE KEHOE NATION”! This “Western Gothic” band from San Francisco is the brainchild of leader Bryan Kehoe. For many years “Kehoe” has been electrifying stages across the US and Europe, sangin’ and pickin’ that there gee-tar in groups such as, Jerry Cantrell Band (Alice in Chains), The Les Claypool Frog Brigade (Primus), Ministry, and Nor Cal legends M.I.R.V. Their self released debut “Music for Livers”, recorded, mixed and mastered by the legendary engineer Oz Fritz (Tom Waits, Bill Laswell, Buckethead), is an entertaining potent cocktail of country, oompah, polka and waltzes, performed with good ol’ punk and metal swagger. By mixing the “ol’ timey” timbres of a stand up bass, clarinet, accordion, and antique orchestral percussions, with “Rawk” guitars and drums, they have created a fresh new soundscape. The combination of master musicianship and raucus stage shows has made them a hometown favorite.


“Kehoe is quickly making an name for himself, performing his technical wizardry on a cranked up Telecaster…the boy ain’t normal!” Guitar Player Magazine

“I have seen The Kehoe Nation, a Bay Area favorite, several times and have never been let down.” Zero Magazine

“The Kehoe Nation forge a sound that is bound to get them noticed, if not notorious. Catch them if you can!” powerslave.com

The sound of this ragtag minstrel group will tickle yer eardrum, tantalize yer tympanum, scintillate yer stereo, vex yer vibrola and definitely set granny off into one of her conniptions.

Harry & The Hitmen
While primarily a Motown band, there is no limit to what Harry & the Hit Men might try the night you catch them. Rooted in the spirit of psychedelic jamming, their music brings to life such classic songs as; Bernadette, Get Ready, Heatwave, Heard It Through the Grapevine and Nowhere to Run. Once they've captured your imagination, half the band becomes a horn section, and proceeds to blow it up. Harry & the Hit Men's focus is to combine the magic of Motown with whirlwind improvisational grooves. Often accompanied by their own lighting designer, and an innovative approach to production, their concerts create a surreal, intoxicating atmosphere. While Harry & the Hit Men are elegant enough to play at your daughter's wedding, you will usually find them entertaining a unique group of dance craves and dead heads. Whatever your needs may be, this band will deliver!
