2026 Summer Music Series Featured Artists
Stone Gray
Hollywood's iconic Whisky a Go Go said it best — Stone Gray brings lyrics that capture your imagination, a beat that gets you moving, and a unique blend of guitar and strings that'll leave you wanting more. Safe to say we agree.
Aubrea Alford
Aubrea Alford redefines what a violinist sounds like. Playing modern covers with classical skill and contemporary edge, her sets are both unexpected and completely mesmerizing. It’s not background music — it’s a whole vibe.
Bruce Warren
Acoustic duo meets jukebox energy. Bruce Warren’s sets flow from soft folk to nostalgic 90s jams to current pop — and somehow it all just works. Easy to listen to, hard not to sing along with.
JJ Fraser
Killer vocals, guitar, harmonica, and vocal harmonies layered over guitar loops — JJ Fraser pulls from classic blues, country, folk, and rock to put together a set you won't want to end.
Christopher Cody Meacham
Slide guitar, fingerstyle finesse, and a voice that makes you lean in. Christopher Cody Meacham blends folk, blues, and original songwriting into a sound that’s familiar but still totally his own. Thoughtful, stripped down, and just the right amount of gritty.
David Tipton
Ever heard a Chapman Stick? You're about to. David Tipton plays instrumental covers of classic rock, pop, blues, and jazz on one of music's most unique instruments. Trust us — you'll want to stick around for this one.
Echo Rose Rising
You’ll hear her before you see her — and then you’ll probably stay all night. Echo Rose Rising is a one-woman powerhouse on viola, vocals, keys, and ukulele, putting her own spin on the classics and winning over every table on the patio. And somehow, she makes it look effortless.
Steve Dey
Blues, rock, reggae, and slide guitar all in one set. Steve Day is a solo performer with serious range — the kind of music that sounds even better with a cold beer in your hand.
Jamie Jams
If you’ve ever wanted a mic handed to your kid mid-song… Jamie Jams is your gal. She’s all about crowd connection, throwback singalongs, and high-energy sets where everybody gets in on the fun. No two shows are the same — and that’s exactly the point.
Tom Mueller
Tom Mueller keeps it simple and keeps it good — solo acoustic bluegrass, Americana, and singer-songwriter originals that feel right at home on a summer evening in Salida.
Justin Allison
A genre-hopping song stylist with serious range, Justin Allison blends Brazilian, jazz, rock, reggae, and more. Whether he's covering Sting or Stevie or pulling out something totally unexpected, his sets feel like a musical passport stamped with soul.
Mike Ippolito
If you like your guitar playing rhythmic, soulful, and just a little funky—Mike Ippolito’s your guy. With roots in blues, rock, jazz, and folk, he brings a polished-but-groovy energy that works whether you're sipping a beer or singing along.
Robert Clarkson
Robert Clarkson knows how to read a crowd — and keep it moving. Expect high-energy, sing-along-friendly sets and maybe even a little banter. Basically, if the vibe’s good, he’s probably behind it.
Two guitars, killer harmonies, and a playlist that’ll make you say “Wait… is this a Bee Gees cover?” Yup. The Kirbys mix original songs with unexpected versions of everything from Alice In Chains to Gnarls Barkley — and somehow, it all works.
The Kirbys
Way Out Yonder
Duo guitars. Sweet harmonies. Chill vibes. Way Out Yonder is kind of what summer nights were made for. You’ll want a patio seat and maybe a second pint.
