Greg Kihn BandTop of Page

Greg Kihn began his career in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland, working in the singer/songwriter mold, but switching to straightforward rock & roll when he moved to San Francisco.  In 1976, after his debut on the compilation Beserkley Chartbusters, he recorded his first album with his own band.  His first bona fide hit with the Top 20 single, "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)", from the RocKihnRoll album. He continued in a more commercial vein through the '80s with a series of pun-titled albums: Kihntinued (1982), Kihnspiracy (1983), Kihntageous (1984), and Citizen Kihn (1985).

Shane Dwight Band
In the last two years, the Shane Dwight Band has been catapulted to the forefront of the West Coast Blues Scene.  The Shane Dwight Band, known for its high-octane, dance ‘till you drop Rock & Blues, is fast becoming the Sensation of the West Coast. The bands ability to draw a crowd is consistent and unparalleled as each show draws more and more fans who file in and literally “Boogie” all night.
Aftershock Blues Band
Taking Funk / Fusion to a Higher Level - Featuring Gerry Jonutz on Tenor & Alto Sax
High-energy blues music mixed with up-tempo, funk, hip-hop, jazz fusion, contemporary jazz, and a little bit of rock. From the very first song, "AfterShock" sets the table for an evening of dancing and high band!



Skynnyn Lynnyrd Reloaded-A Salute to Lynyrd SkynyrdTop of Page

Skynnyn Lynnyrd is the "Reloaded" Lynyrd Skynyrd. The parity is remarkable...so much so that one may be inclined to believe there is some divine intervention going on here; as if guided by the spirit of the original band members who departed so long ago. While there will never be another Lynyrd Skynyrd, Skynnyn Lynnyrd is Lynyrd Skynyrd - - - RELOADED.
