They will be followed by Canadian drummer/DJ house-dynamo RUMPUS, whose explosive hybrid sets have become a fixture at major festivals and legendary underground parties. Opening the night is the debut of The Funk Brunch Allstars, a High Sierra-born trio featuring Rambo Party, Funksalot, and Disco Terrorist – each known for deep crates and cosmic funk.

Smoked Out Soul Old school taste / new school bass Smoked Out Soul pays homage to funk’s past and looks to its future. Born out of San Francisco’s Mission district, what began as a club night has evolved into a touring phenomenon featuring live horns, analogue synths, guitar, drums, and a DJ backbone. The sound: Memphis grit meets California sun — dusty records meet computer love — all with a heavy dose of future-disco.

Dead Winter Carpenters w/ The Coffis Brothers – 8 p.m., 14 State Route 28. Dead Winter Carpenters w/ The Coffis Brothers Sat. Jan. 24th 2026 I Doors: 7pm Show: 8pm I Tickets: $18 ADV / $23 DOS I Tickets: https://tixr.com/e/163466 DEAD WINTER CARPENTERS: Hailing from North Lake Tahoe, CA, americana/roots rock band Dead Winter Carpenters has built a reputation for pouring their heart and soul into each performance. Celebrating 15 years on the road in 2025, the band has worked hard to position themselves, wrote Portland Metronome, “at the forefront of a youthful generation trying to redefine what string music is and what it can do.” That progressive nature shines through loud and clear on the band’s latest release “Sinners ‘n’ Freaks.” The 5-song EP is DWC’s fifth studio effort and is a celebration of the hard roads previously traveled and the road that lies ahead. THE COFFIS BROTHERS With two songwriters, six albums, and more than a thousand shows under their belt, The Coffis Brothers have earned their reputation as modern-day torchbearers of all-American rock & roll. It’s a sound caught halfway between amplified Americana, acoustic folk, roadhouse R&B, and electrifying roots music, crafted by a pair of California-born siblings who’ve been sharing the stage since childhood, and the five piece band filled out by Kyle Poppen (guitar), Aidan Collins (bass), and Cory Graves (drums).
