Live Music Schedule

november 19

Rockin’ mitch & The Groove slingers

This band has been described as a Rockin’ good time. Mixing blues and swing together, their goal is to keep us on the floor until the wee hours of 10:00pm. They promise to bring the party if you promise to bring your dance shoes!

December 17

DYANA & the cherry kings

Back by popular demand, this is Dyana’s second year performing for our holiday party. She brought so much cheer last year that we had to bring her back. Sacramento’s sweetest Rockabilly band, Dyana & The Cherry Kings will swing dance you ‘till you drop! With their sultry sound and swanky style, you can’t help but move to the music. Inspired by 50’s rock’n’roll and jump blues, the energy is high, the sound is seductive and sure to leave you wanting more. The Leaping Blennies are the new Cherry Kings, and they are a musical force to be reckoned with. Since this is our Holiday party, Dyana will be playing some classic Cherry Kings’ tunes as well as some holiday standards.
