Sonoma County! Get ready for this Sunday, June 28th!!! The next concert in the Inn At Occidental Sunset Concert Series is taking place, this time featuring Sgt Splendor (Featuring Eric McFadden & Kate Vargas). Starts at 6PM, $25 / $30 day of show - tickets in bio!
About Sgt Splendor:
ā€œAn eclectic Alt-Funk, Desert Roots, Dirty Blues, Rock thingā€

Blending alt-funk, desert roots, dirty blues, and rock, Sgt. Splendor delivers a sound that is both groovy and brooding, mysterious and unforgettable. Led by guitarist Eric McFadden and singer-songwriter Kate Vargas, the band creates a dark, soulful musical landscape where raw groove meets fearless experimentation.

Before joining forces, both artists had already built formidable solo careers. Vargas earned critical acclaim from outlets including NPR, Rolling Stone, SPIN, No Depression, and Vice, with legendary critic Robert Christgau praising her work. McFadden is a powerhouse guitarist whose resume includes collaborations with George Clinton & the P-Funk All Stars, Anders Osborne, Angelo Moore of Fishbone, and Eric Burdon & The Animals, along with sessions and performances alongside artists from Jackson Browne to Joe Strummer.

Their second album, Death of the Hoochie Koo, expands the bandā€™s sonic world, drawing inspiration from the surreal storytelling and carnival spirit of Tom Waits, while channeling the mysterious energy of the American Southwest.

Backed by an ever-evolving lineup of world-class musicians including members connected to Widespread Panic, Fishbone, Jack White, Les Claypool, Tedeschi Trucks Band, and Talking Heads, Sgt. Splendorā€™s live shows are raw, adventurous, and electrifying.

This one is interest - rock luminary Billy Gibbons and Blues Great Bo Diddley have joined forces to bring you a 21st-century version of the elusive Gretsch Jupiter Thunderbird now dubbed the Billy-Bo which was designed in '59 by the talented Bo Diddley himself!

"Some time ago, Bo gave me the guitar as a gift. It was during the recent ZZ Top recordings, when the engineering crew and I snaked through the guitar vault searching for that certain-something guitar, and there it was! We didn't risk subjecting such a rare instrument to the rigors of the road. So this new reproduction model was recreated with some BFG mojo thrown in for good measure. It's now the main stage guitar with a groove." ~ Billy Gibbons Link in bio!
