WHISKEY GULCH - VALENTINES PARTY

Fantastic local bluegrass band is a comin' to the JCA for a special Valentines Day concert. Bring your sweetie or yourself and your dancing shoes! 

This is gonna be FUN!

With the quintessential bluegrass instrumentation of fiddle, banjo, 
mandolin, acoustic guitar, and upright bass, Whiskey Gulch delivers 
blistering instrumentals, highly crafted arrangements, and 
soul-shattering harmonies. California's northernmost bluegrass band is 
composed of five uniquely talented musicians, all with a common yearning 
for that perfect sound created by acoustic instruments and human voices. 
Hailing from the scattered faraway realms of Siskiyou County, each 
bandmate contributes a unique style and perspective to the group.   
Diverse musical backgrounds including jazz, classical, folk, and punk 
rock combine into the lively, fun, intricate and precise sound of 
Whiskey Gulch.


Butcher, baker, and banjo picker Jake Stapley has a mastery of many 
instruments and a deep background in jazz music as a pianist and drummer.

Sam Cuenca (mandolin) is always the first to call if you need a sideman 
for a gig.  He excels at vocal harmonies and wild mandolin solos, and 
plays the most perfect bass lines.

Kevin Andras (guitar) is known for wearing out his musical friends with 
marathon jams.  With tireless fingers and a deep catalog of songs to 
sing, he keeps it going 'til the sun comes up.

Tristan Behm (bass), widely known for his Sundown Poaching, holds down 
the groove and contributes his fine voice to the "Pretty Boys" vocal 
section of the group.

Julie May (fiddle) has been playing since she was a little kid, touring 
the country with the Fiddle Kids and competing in fiddle contests.  She 
brings to the group a deep understanding of rhythm and melody.
