March 14 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Mountain Music Productions and the Historic Brookdale Lodge present Bay Area jam band Nugz for Grateful Thursday, March 14 from 7:00 to 10:00 pm.
Founded October 2018 in San Jose, California, NUGZ has made a big splash on the Bay Area music scene building their unique sound and growing their fan base. With passions for live performance and R&B music, NUGZ blends nuggets of your favorite songs from some of your favorite artists into familiar, feel-good medleys. NUGZ’s hypnotic rhythms, catchy melodies and explosive sound have people talking…
“Up-lifting! A great band with popular rock songs everyone can sing along to!” “High energy grooves with feelgood vibes!” “Dynamic blends, hypnotic passages and great vocal harmonies!” “Huge sounds and fantastic blends!” “You never know when they’ll break into one of your favorite tunes,” “Plenty of good-natured fun!”
NUGZ origins sparked in 2014 when keyboardist James Miller met guitarist Derek Bischof, a fellow Dead and Phish head. Realizing their chemistry was off the charts, they auditioned drummers and bassists until recruiting drummer Rob Parker in 2018 and, later that year, bassist Dino Nickolas who elevated and solidified the band into its current form. NUGZ repertoire favors classic and contemporary Rock and Jam Bands such as The Grateful Dead, Phish, The String Cheese Incident, Mr. Blotto, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and more.
Appearing at taverns, clubs, festivals, non-profit events and private parties around the San Francisco Bay Area, South Bay Area and beyond, NUGZ has performed for thousands, delivering high energy sounds with magical moments and surprising turns. Attracting both Jam Band fanatics and casual listeners, NUGZ has been well received by people of all ages. Blending styles and pulling multiple genres, NUGZ unleashes a high-energy sound that leaves audiences wanting more.
