For this special show, Tani will be presenting a program of the original, original electric honky tonk material that made his bands Calamity & Main and 77 El Deora the first choices of boisterous voices and drunken hoots on the Bay Area Americana landscape.THE DOGWEEDS—The Dogweeds (Oakland, Ca) are an Americana Roots Music band with sister-style vocal harmonies, sweet retro grooves and red hot musicianship. Blending classics from Western Swing to 70's country with heart melting originals, the band features Joan Wilson Rueter on fiddle, guitar and vocals, Rosie Steffy on harmonies and suitcase drums, Dawn Ellerbeck on upright bass, Jared Altura on hollowbody and slide guitar, and virtuosic Jamie Duncan on the telecaster. Their debut EP Honeymoon (released 2024) “embodies all the best traits of dance music: lyrics to make you think, but music to make you move, and a sense that, good or bad, life is still a party.”-Rachel Cholst, Adobe and Teardrops
