Wreckless Strangers is a collective of six friends and musicians carrying the torch for San Francisco’s grand rock ‘n’ roll tradition. Their unique stew of “Bay Area Gumbo” melds the contemporary blues stylings of Bonnie Raitt and Boz Scaggs; the songwriting sensibilities of Sons of Champlin and Fleetwood Mack; the swashbuckling Americana of the Lost Planet Airmen and Peter Rowan; and the funk of Sly Stone and Tower of Power with a dash of Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane for flavor and unpredictability. With soaring harmony vocals and burning instrumental improvisation framed in concise
and poignant original songwriting, Wreckless Strangers seek to honor and carry forth the brand of free-spirited musical fun and adventure that defines the Bay Area.
The band features Amber Morris on lead vocals; David Noble on lead guitar, lead vocals; Joshua Zucker on bass, vocals; Mick Hellman on drums, vocals; Rob Anderson on guitar, vocals and special guest keyboardists. Collectively, members of Wreckless Strangers have worked with Miley Cyrus, Peter Rowan, Highway Wolf, Ismay, Boz Scaggs, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Olivia Wolf, Laurie Lewis, and more!

2025-08-16 19:00 - 22:00 | Brewery Arts Center | Outdoor Stage, 449 W KING ST, CARSON CITY, NV, 89703, United States
Swagger was formed by Rick Butler in 2007 when he moved from California to Utah bringing his love of Irish music. Along with a local fiddler Dennis Harrington from (Chicago), put together a group of local musicians to form the band. Swagger played their 1st. pub show at the PipderDown on April 24th, 2007. The match was lit & the Band took off. Swagger has been honing their original brand of Celtic music at festivals and concert halls across the United States ever since. Well known for their high-energy stage performances and catchy original songs, Swagger’s music is the expected Irish celebration of drink, mischief, and music, which also dares to explore oppression and take an emigrant’s perspective on the virtues and vices of the Irish-American culture.
Along the way, the band has shared the stage with such groups as The Young Dubliners, The English Beat,The Clumsy Lovers, Howard Jones, Brother, Albanach, Andy Frasco, just to name a few. In 2010 Swagger assembled Utah’s 1st. Irish Music Festival at Deer Valley in front of 5,000 new fans. After 3 years of hosting their own Irish festival, the band hit the road performing at festivals along the west coast.
Swagger has released 4 studio albums, Trouble on the Green (2008), The Grave (2010), America Land (2013) & Gypsy Road (2017). The Band consist of Rick Butler, (Manager, Lead Vocals, Guitar, Mandolin, & Banjo), Dennis Harrington (Fiddle & Vocals), Trip Marshall (Lead Guitar &Mandolin), Manny Slack (Bass & Vocals), Mike Bailey (Drums), Eric Slaymaker (Vocals, Tin Whistle, & Mandolin). Swagger’s line up of veteran musicians blend in rock, blues, jazz, classical, bluegrass, reggae and country music styles. Their musicianship and live performances give their audiences a truly complete entertainment experience to remember.

Watercolor Carson City Plein Air Festival Public Demonstration | Tuesday | August 19th 2025
2025-08-19 17:00 - 19:00 | Brewery Arts Center | East Building | Exhibition Hall, 449 W King St, Carson City, NV, 89703, United States
Join us for a free watercolor color demonstration with renowned artist Geoff Allen in our Exhibition Hall.
” As an artist being outdoors and the beauty of watercolor. Plein air painting helps me focus intensely on my work while promoting a sense of mystery and spontaneity.
To borrow Alfred Korzybski’s phrase “the map is not the territory”, meaning the map is merely a plan and the “territory” is reacting in the moment whatever the conditions may be.
In the studio, as artists, we practice, plan and evaluate our art within an open time constraint. However, in a plein air practice we become vulnerable to time, the whims of nature, and interact within a social environment. This adversity though is necessary to experience the primary source of the subject (nature) and reality, experiencing “the territory”.
Watercolor echos this idea of immediacy and nature. I find that watercolor is both medium and metaphor, and at times both a blessing and a curse. I love that aspect of art making- when something is slightly out of my control and a challenge. It allows me to feel that I am playing with mysterious forces beyond my own understanding.
My art journey began unconventionally. I graduated with a bachelors in Economics, with a passion at the time for black and white street photography culminating in 1986 with a solo exhibition at the Reno Art Museum called “Suburban Views”.
My most pivotal moment as an artist came during a postgraduate summer watercolor class. The class was plein air painting in the Sierras during July when it began snowing on us, I was thrilled and hooked.
Soon after, I graduated with an MFA from Claremont Graduate University in 1990, and thrusted myself into the urban grind and contemporary art scene of Los Angeles. Initially working as a scenic painter in Hollywood and residing in a downtown studio, life felt exhilarating but there wasn’t much time for art. Luckily I began to teach drawing and ran several college galleries. My art at the time was poured pastel sculptural wall reliefs. Instead of brushes, I used poured plaster, fiberglass, and syringes filled with acrylic. This work resulted in a solo exhibition at Post Gallery, on Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles in 2001. As different as all these experiences may seem, I have found the connecting threads to plein air.
Currently I am living in a beautiful coastal town north of San Diego. I left the complexity of Los Angeles and began an illustration business with my wife, Jennifer Brinley, who was my high school girlfriend who I met in art class. Looking back on my career in art, it was always about making art to fit into preexisting categories or labels: be it contemporary art, modern art, abstraction, conceptual, performance, installation, illustration, folk art, or commercial. Whereas my focus now—the tradition of plein air painting, feels more about an appreciation of life, nature and transforming that excitement onto paper.”

Bon Bon Vivant is a genre bending band from New Orleans that pull from singer-songwriter/ pop/ americana/ dark ballads and up-tempo indie dance music…but they would prefer you to just listen to the music. BBVs original music is rooted in storytelling and pays honor to a uniquely New Orleans sound while infusing an indie flavor that leaves a lasting mark on listeners. This band’s songs are joyous, fierce, honest and heartbreaking as they chronicle life and all it entails through the sounds of the minor keys.
Bon Bon Vivant has been playing music together since 2013, formed in the French Quarter of New Orleans. BBV is lead by married musicians: songwriter /front-woman Abigail Cosio and Saxophonist/ vocalist Jeremy Kelley. The couple met in 2004, and began playing music together in and around the Los Angeles local music scene, performing at venues like the Hotel Cafe and The Silverlake Lounge. In 2009 they moved to New Orleans, eventually forming Bon Bon Vivant from the community of musicians they met living in New Orleans. Abigails songwriting has reflected their life together in its many iterations, a form of personal storytelling through this 20 year union. The bands unique instrumentation is also a thing to watch and leaves listeners reaching to identify what kind of music they are hearing. With brass horns and a rotating cast of incredible musicians coming through, this sound is alive and something to experience.
