Tender
Mercies
Date:
May 26
Sponsored by:
An original band, Tender Mercies is a side project, of a sort, that includes two Counting Crows -- Dan Vickrey on guitar and vocals and drummer Jim Bogios. The band's origins actually go back 20 years, to the time when Vickrey first came to the San Francisco Bay Area. One of the first people he met was Patrick Winningham, who was the manager of the Hotel Utah, one of the best singer/songwriter venues in San Francisco. Winningham was also a songwriter and enlisted Vickrey, and bass player Kurt Stevenson, for the group that became Tender Mercies. In 1993, Vickrey joined the Counting Crows on second guitar. When the Crows went on hiatus in 2010, Vickrey set up a bedroom studio, rounded up his old bandmates, and cut an album.

Zoo
Station
The Complete U2 Experience
Date: June 9
Sponsored by:
Since 2001, this band has delivered the visual, musical and spiritual thrill of a U2 concert to bars, clubs, outdoor festivals, private parties and corporate events along the West Coast of North America. Singer Bonalmost leads the show, flying high with the vocal strength and confidence of Bono’s The Joshua Tree days. The Sledge showers thick layers of effectual guitar work over crowd as Adamesque on bass and Barely Larry on the drums deliver the pounding heartbeat of some of modern rock’s most memorable songs. The band’s primary job is replication, but periodically Zoo Station innovates as much as it imitates. During their trademark full-album spotlight sets in which the band plays an entire U2 album from start to finish Zoo Station encounters such obscurities as “Elvis Presley and America,” “Promenade,” “Red Hill Mining Town” and “Acrobat,” songs rarely or never performed live by U2.

The
Bell Brothers Russ and Scott Bell grew up in Houston, Texas before moving to California in 1980, but country roots had set in and there was no escaping that southern twang influence. The Bell Brothers deliver original but familiar sound through their blend of highly energetic country and roots rock. Their harmony voices weave tightly together to produce a signature style achieved by a lifetime of singing together as brothers. Over the years Russ and Scott have been influenced by artists such as Roy Orbison, Keith Urban, Willie Nelson, Rascal Flatts, Alabama, and The Eagles. Through their original songs, the Bell Brothers express heartfelt sentiments as well as humor and good times- all things that they enjoy sharing with friends and family and are continually living life to explore and refine. Their songwriting has been acknowledged, with several of their original works being picked up by Sherrill Blackman, Universal South, Hit Writers and Sony Nashville. The Bell Brothers have opened up for many top Nashville country acts including Rascal Flatts, Jason Aldean, Chris Cagle, Phil Vassar, and Emerson Drive...to name a few. With years of performance experience, the Bell Brothers have an exciting, intuitive, very live, and energetic stage presence in any venue. Check
