The Waganupa Vampire Ball - A Murder Mystery Dinner

🧛 The Waganupa Vampire Ball — A Murder Mystery Dinner

Friday, October 30 · Bubbly & mingling 7:00 PM · Dinner & mystery 7:30 PM · Waganupa Chester Taproom

Dust off your cape, neighbors. The night before Halloween, we’re turning the brewery into a murder scene. Dinner, costumes, and a killer hiding among the tanks.

🎟️ Tickets are $25 per person, and only 20 seats are available. Over half are already taken!
Reserve your seat by calling or texting the brewery at 530-616-8104, or email sales@waganupabrewing.com.

Count Dragula, the undead drag queen who rules New York’s nightlife, is hosting the party of the century at the exclusive Fang and Rose Club. Then, just after midnight, a body turns up backstage, drained dry. Was it a guest? A party crasher who slipped past security? Everyone is a suspect.

You won’t just watch this one. You’ll play it. Every guest is assigned a character ahead of time (centuries-old vampires, a vampire hunter, a nosy journalist, a mad demonologist, and more) and comes dressed for the part. Arrive at 7:00 for bubbly and a chance to meet your fellow suspects. At 7:30, dinner is served and the mystery begins. You’ll question suspects, dig through the evidence, and try to name the killer before they confess.

Every guest gets a character, so once the cast is full, it’s full. Don’t wait!

Special Thursday Appearance Jared Nels

🎸 Jared Nels: A Special Thursday Night Show

Thursday, October 1 · 6:00 PM
Waganupa Brewing · 401 Peninsula Drive, Lake Almanor, CA

Trivia is taking the night off. Jared Nels is back on the Waganupa stage.

If you caught him in April, you know why we wanted him back. Jared comes to us from Santa Barbara with a sound that's hard to pin down: bluegrass, blues, country western, outlaw country and rock, all built around powerful vocals and quick, clean guitar. Then there's the yodeling. He's won multiple yodeling contests and has been featured on American Idol, and it's the kind of thing that stops you mid-sip.

His set list ranges from Billy Strings, Doc Watson and Hank Williams to Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley and Joe Cocker, plus over two hours of his own original music. You'll hear something you know and something you don't.

Want a preview? Find Jared at jarednels.com or on YouTube.

We'll be outside if the weather's good and inside the Peninsula taproom if it isn't. Grab your pint, grab your crew, and come early for a good seat.

No cover. Thursday, October 1. Music starts at 6:00 PM.

Friday Night Live - Roger Jaeger

🎸 Friday Night Live — Roger Jaeger June 26th · 6:00–8:00 PM · Waganupa Brewing

Some artists are hard to put in a box — and that's exactly what makes them worth seeing live.

Roger Jaeger is an award-winning singer-songwriter based in Northern California whose music has taken him around the world — from the legendary Bluebird Café in Nashville to pubs in the UK, festivals in Australia, and songwriting workshops in India. His sound blends folksy Americana with deeply personal storytelling, raw vocals, and a refreshingly unpretentious spirit that feels right at home in a place like Lake Almanor.

Born in Tulsa, shaped by eight years in Nashville, and now firmly rooted in Northern California, Roger has spent the last chapter of his career slowing down, simplifying, and making music that goes straight to the heart. His music has been featured on General Hospital and Lights, Camera, Action, and his upcoming album Wander — recorded at Sputnik Sound in Nashville — is one of the most anticipated releases of the year.

Come hear why people keep showing up wherever Roger Jaeger plays.

Bring your own food or grab takeout on the way — we'll handle the cold pints. Kids and four-legged friends welcome and encouraged.

Friday, June 26th. 6:00–8:00 PM. No cover.

Friday Night Live - Kenny Feidler

Friday Night Live - Kenny Feidler

Kenny Feidler Live at Waganupa Brewing
Friday, September 18th · 6:00 PM · Waganupa Brewing · Lake Almanor, CA

He grew up in Baltimore dreaming of the West, became a bareback bronc rider, started selling his music from the trunk of an old Cadillac — and never looked back.

Kenny Feidler and The Cowboy Killers bring a sound that's dark, gritty, and completely their own — Western Rock n Roll built on Feidler's years chasing rodeos across Oklahoma and South Dakota, where he soaked up the life and wrote songs about every mile of it. With over 160 million streams built purely through grassroots hustle, word of mouth, and relentless touring, Kenny has earned every fan the hard way.

Backed by The Cowboy Killers — featuring pedal steel, lead guitar, bass, and drums — his live show overflows with the gravel of his vocals and a full-on rock n roll band behind him. He's been featured in Rolling Stone, compared to the late great Chris LeDoux, and managed by Jay Nazz — the drummer from Reckless Kelly. His albums The Western Tragedy and Live at Cain's have cemented him as one of the most compelling voices in the alt-country world today.

This is a ticketed event. Early bird tickets are $15 — get yours now before the price goes up!

SEPTEMBER 4 — MICHAEL RUSSELL
Friday Night Live · 6:00–8:00 PM · Waganupa Brewing

If you've been here for one of his shows, you already know. If you haven't — this is the one to catch.

Michael Russell is a Northern California guitarist, singer, and songwriter whose stone-cold blues guitar licks, old school rock 'n' roll energy, and timeless Americana storytelling have made him one of the most beloved returning artists on the Waganupa stage.

Whether he's performing solo or with the Michael Russell Trio, every show is a masterclass in blues and roots rock. Raw, soulful, and impossible to sit still through.

Chester Taproom - 🎸 Live Music — David Sheehy

Chester Taproom · 401 Main Street, Chester, CA

🎸 Live Music — David Sheehy
Saturday, August 29 · 6–8 PM · Free to attend

He's been at this for 50 years, and it shows. David Sheehy is an international performing and recording artist visiting the area from Phoenix, Arizona, and he's stopping by Chester for one night of acoustic covers spanning seven decades — 300-plus songs from 125 artists — plus his own original material. If you want an evening where you can name a decade and he's probably got a song for it, this is your night.

Sheehy started playing guitar the week after the Beatles hit the Ed Sullivan Show, and he never really stopped. He toured the Holiday Inn circuit in his twenties, played in the rock band Scattered Blue, and has spent the last three decades as a solo act, releasing several albums along the way — including his 2010 single "Let Go," his first to get global distribution.

Grab a stool by the tanks, order a pint, and settle in for what he calls "the best in acoustic music."

Friday Night Live - Olivia Harms

AUGUST 28 — OLIVIA HARMS
Friday Night Live · 6:00–8:00 PM · Waganupa Brewing

She's back — and honestly, we've been counting down.

Olivia Harms brings a Country Western Honky Tonk sound that blends Texas Red Dirt grit, Bakersfield twang, and Nashville polish — packed with fiddle, steel guitar, and the kind of country-western swing that gets you out of your seat. Her singles have climbed the Texas Red Dirt charts, with "Hey There Cowboy" peaking in the Texas Top 10 and "This Ain't My First Rodeo" sitting in the Texas Top 5 for over five weeks. She's been named to COWGIRL Magazine's 30 Under 30 and honored as Singer of the Year at the Women of the West Gala at the Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Fort Worth. She was also hand-selected by Taylor Sheridan and Blake Shelton to be part of their CBS series The Road.

Her first show here was one for the books — her return is going to be even better.

Pull up your own chairs, pack a picnic for the family, or grab takeout from Il Lago or Bing's Peninsula on your way in. We'll handle the cold pints. Kids and four-legged friends welcome and encouraged.

Some bands travel far to find their sound — Gravel Down Low found theirs right here in the mountains.

Hailing from the Butte Meadows and Forest Ranch area just over an hour from Chester, Gravel Down Low is a Northern California acoustic country and blues band known for bringing the kind of raw, energetic live shows that mountain communities love. They've been a staple at mountain retreats and dining venues up and down the Sierra — and now they're bringing that same energy to the Waganupa patio.

Acoustic. Country. Blues. All heart.

Pull up your own chairs, pack a picnic for the family, or grab takeout from Il Lago or Bing's Peninsula on your way in. We'll handle the cold pints. Kids and four-legged friends welcome and encouraged.

Friday Night Live - Danny Horton Trio

Friday Night Live - Danny Horton Trio

AUGUST 14 — DANNY HORTON TRIO
Friday Night Live · 6:00–8:00 PM · Waganupa Brewing

Welcome back one of our favorites — and one of Plumas County's own.

Danny Horton is a singer/songwriter living in the heart of the Sierra Nevada mountains who has been playing professionally since 1995. He toured around the globe, reached number 8 on the European charts while signed to Tiefdruck/Universal, and then came home to Blairsden/Graeagle where he built one of the most respected careers in the Northern California music scene.

His soulful voice has been compared to Chris Stapleton mixed with Johnny Cash — weathered vagabond one moment, smooth crooner the next, and hootin' and hollerin' the next. His sound crosses Classic Country, Folk, and Classic Rock with a punk rock edge that makes him just as comfortable at a honky tonk as a punk show. He plays his Martin guitar while kicking his own bass drum and snare — and with lead guitarist Eric "Rico" Peterson and stand-up bassist Chris Beucherie rounding out the trio, this is a one-of-a-kind live experience with a whole lot of soul.

The Danny Horton Trio has performed at the High Sierra Music Festival, the Lost Sierra Hoe Down, and regularly opens for national acts including Reverend Horton Heat, Bridge City Sinners, and Corb Lund. His album Dear Miss Rose features lead guitarist Johnny "V" Vernazza of Elvin Bishop and is available on all major music platforms.

Pull up your own chairs, pack a picnic for the family, or grab takeout from Il Lago or Bing's Peninsula on your way in. We'll handle the cold pints. Kids and four-legged friends welcome and encouraged.

Waganupa Presents - An Evening with The Lowdown Drifters

🎸 Waganupa Presents — An Evening with The Lowdown Drifters
Sunday, August 9th · Doors 5:30 PM · Show 6:00 PM · Waganupa Brewing

This one is unlike anything we've done before — and we couldn't be more excited to bring it to Lake Almanor.

The Lowdown Drifters are road-tested for nearly a decade, having built their reputation playing one-night stands to their self-proclaimed "tens of fans" across the nation — and those fans keep coming back. Fort Worth, Texas based by way of California, Washington, and Minnesota, the band has created their own brand of "sad bastard songs" that are as likely to invoke dancing as crying, combining heartfelt and heartbreaking lyrics with catchy and upbeat melodies. Led by John Cannon's poetic rasp, the Drifters live show has built a steadfast and dedicated following at venues and festivals including Gruene Hall, Cain's Ballroom, and the Ryman Auditorium.

Their recordings — including the critically acclaimed debut album Last Call for Dreamers — have garnered over 275k monthly listeners and more than 75 million total streams for their hit song "Fire in Her Eyes," with crowd favorites "Alright," "If I Had A Dollar," and "Back to You" accounting for another 25 million streams. The Drifters are rolling into Lake Almanor on their 2026 nationwide tour in support of their new single "Get Up," featuring Wade Forster, Jody Bartula, and famed rodeo announcer Bob Tallman.

Opening the evening is the always wonderful Olivia Vega, taking the stage at 5:30 PM.

This is a ticketed event with two options:

🍖 Dinner + Show — $45 · Reserved table seating · Catered BBQ dinner by Jamie from Sierra Smoke Pit BBQ · Limited to 100 · Advance purchase only

🎶 Show Only — $30 · General admission · Available in advance or at the door

Reserved tables are exclusively for Dinner + Show ticket holders. Jamie will also have food available for purchase on-site for show-only guests.

Friday Night Live - Brad Petersen

Friday Night Live - Brad Petersen

Friday Night Live · 6:00–8:00 PM · Waganupa Brewing

A rare and intimate evening with one of Northern California's finest.

Brad Petersen is a Chico-based singer-songwriter, classic country artist, and host of his own live music show on FM 90.1 KZFR Chico. He's shared stages with legends like Lacy J. Dalton, Johnny Lee, and Ben and Noel Haggard, and his personal connection to Merle Haggard runs deep — his album Second Chances features members of Merle's own band. That's not a credential you come by casually.

Tonight Brad performs without his full band — an up-close, stripped-down set that puts the focus exactly where it belongs: the songs and the storytelling.

Pull up your own chairs, pack a picnic for the family, or grab takeout from Il Lago or Bing's Peninsula on your way in. We'll handle the cold pints. Kids and four-legged friends welcome and encouraged.
