Further Artist Information

Klezmer Boogie with — THE GOMORRAN SOCIAL AID & PLEASURE CLUB
San Francisco’s Premier Hobo Funkadelicband comes to Santa Rosa to blow horns and freak Minds.. Don;t miss this rare appearance by the Wildest gang of Brass slingers in the Bay!

Junk Yard Swing with — THE WESLEY MORGAN
Broken-down blues rolling out of a Saturday night juke joint, and stumbling drunk into Sunday morning redemption. Junkyard swing that is ragged and raw, with melodies that drop off, bend, and crack. Swamp noir imagery full of charming devils and angels with broken wings.

Resident JUKE JOINT Dj’s — CHANGO B, MALARKEY, DJ GUACAMOLE & COUSIN LARRY …. (in the Speak Easy..shhh.)
Steeped in vintage aesthetic and laced with the cutting edge counter cultures presently forging contemporary music and fashion, the Juke Joint dj’s are proud to provide the setting for this years Regatta kick off party. Patrick Malone (aka..Malarkey) along with merry prankster and event producer extraordinare – Bryce Williams (aka…Chango B) will be shaking the floor boards loose with their infectious delivery of latin, funk, balkan, & gypsy infested toons all night in the Speak Easy.

Gypsy Jam Rock with — THE VOODOO MEDICINE SHOW
Fresh out of the Mendocino County wood, The Voodoo Medicine Show shines with original & youthful talent, rockin jams, conscience lyrics and hopeful resonance. Troubadours between the ages of 23-25, blending homegrown visions, bizarre riffs and danceable rhythms-opening a portal of unlimited potential, artistic sound and organic synergy! Most recently you may have seen the band in various configuration at Mystic Garden gathering of the tribes, southern Oregon, or at Aubergine. Most recently, you may have just danced with them at the Solar Living Institute, Moondance (formally Solfest) in northern California under the lunar lamas full moon!

…. PLUS …. Exotic Dance with ~ JOWEH R.A.W.
Nouveau bellydance divas from Sonoma County, Joweh!
These highly skilled performers are trained in various dance styles and tomfoolery and have been causing quite a stir in the belly dance community with their RAW (Random American World) dance. Is it bellydance? Is it Modern dance? Hip Hop? Vaudeville? The blending of who-knows-what with impecable talent and technique create performances not easily forgotten.
