Since 2004, GarageLand Rodeo has been a force in the East Bay music scene, offering up high-energy rock, blues & soul music with a sound that is reminiscent of the Stones/Black Crowes/Tesdeschi-Trucks, interspersed with Etta James, Aretha Franklin and Allman Brothers. ​This is not a typical cover band, nor a top-40 live jukebox outfit, by any means. We rock hard and we deliver our crunchy sound with passion and humor, over a variety of genres. Our audiences have come to expect shows that can deliver a thrilling array of familiar tunes, alongside some very deep pulls from vinyl B-sides, some very imaginative reworking of songs you thought you knew, and some original tunes, too! We will take you on a musical journey. Our name sometimes has led folks to expect country music, but the moniker owes more to serendipity and phonetic resonance than to any equine or bovine association. This is not to say you won’t hear a country song or two, but they’ll be rendered in our own style. Our lineup has changed occasionally since our inception, but our devotion to eclecticism and fun has helped us consistently attract high-quality musicians who share our passion for honest, powerful music, delivered in a manner guaranteed to move people. Our constantly growing fan base can attest to this! We can tailor our shows for the big stages and venues, rock out smaller clubs and even provide a mostly-acoustic trio version for more intimate settings – but any configuration is going to a great show, and it’ll be true GarageLand Rodeo style.
