07/20/2024 - The Patrice Pike Band at Brice Station Vineyards Murphys, CA...Patrice Pike burst onto the music scene as the electric front woman for the seminal Austin jam band Sister Seven Patrice effortlessly moves from tightly woven rhythm guitar to percussion, to drum kit on stage never dropping a beat of her fierce but silky lead vocals.
Over the past decade, she has independently released five acclaimed solo records and released an incredible album under the name Pike and Sutton with long-time music partner Wayne Sutton. These have all shown her socially astute, literate lyrics alongside her powerful vocals, percussion, and rhythm guitar skills. She has toured relentlessly, both in the U.S. and overseas, building an impressive grassroots fan base. In 2007 she became the youngest member of the Austin/Texas Music Hall of Fame, inducted alongside Lucinda Williams. She is currently working on new material for a release in 2024 and Brice Station is her favorite annual series for summer touring! This show features phenomenal guitarist Hunter Hendrickson and her California powerhouse rhythm section Mike Anderson and Rob Hooper.

07/13/2024 - Coffis Brothers at Brice Station Vineyards Murphys, CA..."It's all-American music," says The Coffis Brothers’ co-frontman, Kellen, about the band's 2022 release, Turn My Radio Up. "There's rock, blues, acoustic folk, and country in there. As music fans, we go all the way back to the beginning — to pioneers like Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers — but we also look to artists like the Eagles and Tom Petty for influence. That's our playbook."
Recorded at producer Tim Bluhm's home studio in Marin County and at 25th Street Recording in Oakland CA, Turn My Radio Up is an album for car stereos, hazy afternoons, and long highways. Jangling guitar leads and front-porch folk songs share equal space with heartland rock anthems and campfire-worthy Americana ballads, all dreamt into existence by a group of road warriors who wear their West Coast stripes proudly. This is honest, heartfelt roots-rock with an emphasis on the roots.
With the aptly-titled Turn My Radio Up, The Coffis Brothers salute the glory days of the FM dial while planting their flag firmly in the present. A loose, limber album that showcases the full range of the band's abilities, the record bounces between full-throttle anthems like "Find Out the Hard Way" and acoustic folk songs like "Every Day." Along the way, the Californians make room for soulful, piano-driven standouts ("It's So Easy"), atmospheric Americana ("Feel This Free"), and tongue-in-cheek twang ("Ramona"), with brothers Jamie and Kellen Coffis trading vocal and songwriting duties throughout.
Jamie and Kellen Coffis were raised in the Santa Cruz Mountains of northern California. Their mother was a children's musician who often recruited the boys to join her onstage, instilling in them an appreciation for energetic, catchy songs that focused on melody, mood, and message. "We learned how to sing three-part harmonies with Mom at a young age," remembers Jamie, who later grew into an accomplished keyboardist as his brother sharpened his chops on guitar. When the two began writing songs together in 2007, they found that their shared upbringing — including the music they'd heard on the radio airwaves as kids — had left a lasting mark on their artistic sensibilities.

07/13/2024 - CAKE & Special Guest Y La Bamba and DakhaBrakha at Ironstone Murphys, CA...The Sacramento, CA based band that continues to maintain a wealth of originality. If Hank Williams Sr. and Sly Stone were having a party together, and they played AC/DC records backwards… that would be this band. CAKE’s adherence to their original guiding principles has only grown stronger over the years. Originally formed as a somewhat antagonistic answer to grunge, CAKE’s democratic processes, defiant self-reliance, and lucid yet ever-inventive music has made them a nation-state unto themselves, with no evident peers in sound or perspective.
In addition to writing, arranging, producing, and performing their own music, they have taught themselves to engineer their recording projects in their Sacramento-based solar-powered studio, which regularly generates more power than is needed to run it, causing the building’s electrical meter to run in reverse. CAKE’s most recent album, Showroom of Compassion, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and was touted as “deadpan brilliance” by The New Yorker Magazine.
While seamlessly blending many genres and influences, CAKE truly issues forth a sound and vision unlike any other band. The band is currently at work on their ninth album due for release during autumn 2024. Additionally, there will be a limited edition “Live from Folsom” album issued during summer 2024.

Caltrans will be sweeping and making final preparations for the roadway prior to the Death Ride and would like to thank the traveling public and cyclists for their patience during construction this past week.
For the 43rd Annual Death Ride, Caltrans will have full highway closures in place on State Route 89 (SR-89) from Markleeville to the SR-89/SR-4 junction from 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and on Ebbetts Pass/SR-4 from Markleeville to Lake Alpine from 5:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Caltrans will have changeable message signs in place alerting motorists of the highway closures and ask the traveling public to avoid these highway corridors over the weekend and use alternate routes whenever possible. For the latest highway conditions, visit quickmap.dot.ca.gov and for the safety of our workers and other motorists, please Be Work Zone Alert.
