Angels Camp, CA....ZZ Top headlines at Ironstone tonight, but Drummer Frank Beard is a bit of a golf fanatic and arrived in town early to enjoy a round at Greenhorn Creek yesterday. Greenhorn Creek is running a contest on their facebook site for a pair of tickets that was generously provided by the famous visitor. Frank is known to be a scratch golfer, and often participates in tournaments and community events in his hometown of Richmond, Texas where he owns and operated the Top 40 Ranch. The trio of Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard was founded in the late sixties and have been playing together ever since. Prior to ZZ Top, Frank and Dusty had been musical partners for years. Both were members of the two Dallas based groups - The Warlocks then The American Blues. Frank joined ZZ Top in 1969. Two months later, a new bass player was needed for the band. It was at that time that Frank called his longtime friend Dusty Hill to audition. The rest is musical history....

Vallecito, CA...Twisted Oak Winery is pleased to announce the final concert of our Twisted Folk Concert Series – featuring The John Jorgenson Quintet! “It’s hard to imagine that our 2014 Summer Concert Series is coming to a close, so this is already the last chance to enjoy a show at the winery this year,” said winery co-owner Jeff Stai. “The John Jorgenson Quintet is known as one of the premier combos playing gypsy jazz – that’s in the style of such pioneering musicians as Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli – and I can’t think of a better way to wrap up the year.”
