The Westones are an Oakland-based fusion of heavy soul, deep-pocket funk and raw R&B for a sound that’s as timeless as it is fresh. Featuring members who have toured with Dirtwire, Con Brio, Smoked Out Soul, Afrolicious, Midtown Social and more, the band's contagious exuberance is as fun to watch as it is to dance to. Fresh off the Fillmore in SF, festival main stages and a debut EP recorded at Hyde Street Studios, The Westones are quickly becoming one of California’s most exciting new live acts.

The evolution of Boot Juice has been a magnificent phenomenon to behold over the past few years. This seven-piece band from Davis has done things the old-fashioned way – earning everything they have with blood, sweat and tears shed on stages throughout the region. It’s been more sweat than anything else based on the practically inhuman volume of energy output they generate throughout the course of their relentless performances. Boot Juice defies the typical assumption that a big band with horns is sticking to the well-worn path of funk and jazz. They certainly infuse those genres into the mix. More than anything though, this is an unabashed cosmic rock band intent on taking audiences into an alternate dimension of pure freedom and dance euphoria where the outside world ceases to exist. Their three-part vocal harmonies carry major impact with intoxicating doses of soul, blues and sultry appeal. The passionate musicianship and group synergy resonates in their pure sense of joy. Drawing favorable comparisons to the sound of The California Honey Drops and the spirit of the Talking Heads, you’ll have no doubt that the refreshing originality of Boot Juice always has a firm grip on the wheel.
