Thanks to the boys and girls over @strut_sports for using the intro tunes of our track, ‘This Is It’ for their promo vid of some o’ their sweet baseball swag. Go check it out, or even better, go pre-show party with them on Saturday over @wreckingyardtrainingfacility before making your way south to Costa Mesa for the Goodtime Rock and Roll Country Concert @wayfarercm . See ya at the honkytonk.

Our roots run deep.

15 years, when this project started, Orange County was lacking any real showcase for featuring Americana roots music. I really didn’t know what was around or out there, the area was dominated by dj nights playing the same edm songs and I just wanted to make something that took it back to the basics.
I never expected to connect with so many artists that were on the same page as we were. Truly a family was born.

Then when the pandemic came it really squashed a lot of hopes and dreams. Bands lost contracts, lost band members and maybe most importantly we lost the stages and gatherings and really it’s been hard to piece it back together since then. We drifted, we got old and now you can find a local “country” night or bar all over Southern California. (I truly think that’s a beautiful thing, the world needed it) Even hollywood tried a parody, stole our bio, but they just couldn’t quite grasp the soul of the magic that we once shared in a little backyard of that roadhouse restaurant we started in. It was a desert illusion , a place to play dress up. Missing the authenticity, the purpose, the simplicity.

So we’re still here, because this , the real deal, is important for me to share.

This Saturday we’re featuring 3 of the artists that have been there from the beginning . Bands that I share so many memories, laughs and tears with that are all still so deserving of your ears.

Revival of the revivalist.

The location of these photos, @theescondite , was a staple of ours for close to a decade. Whether it was a mid-recording/rehearsal lunchbreak, venue for a show, or just a waterin hole to get refreshed with friends in Downtown L.A…whatever it was needed for, the bar consistently responded to the task. So, it was sad to hear this establishment would soon be no longer. Go pay your respects on these last days of it being open. Thanks @theescondite and Brian for the everlasting support, encouragement, long laughs, and cries. Also thanks to @withinadream @thekingsinn for documenting and hosting some of these magical moments. Cheers. #restavrant by @restavrant
