Friday Night Live - Danny Horton Trio
🎸 Friday Night Live — Danny Horton Trio
May 22nd · 5:30–8:30 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.
We loved having Danny the first time around — this return visit is going to be one to remember.
Sun is out, patio is open. Bring your own food or grab takeout on the way — we'll handle the cold pints.

Friday Night Live - Jason Judy
🎸 Friday Night Live — Jason Judy May 29th · 6:00–8:00 PM · Waganupa Brewing
Introducing a Chester local making his solo debut — right here at Waganupa.
Jason Judy is a familiar face in the Plumas County music scene as a member of Feather River Revival, but tonight he steps into the spotlight on his own for the very first time.
Jason's love of music started early — you'd catch him singing or humming a tune at just about any hour of the day — but it wasn't until a high school piano class at 16 that everything clicked. From there it was a journey through keyboards, guitar, bass, drums, and even a stint on saxophone before the guitar found its permanent home in his hands. Along the way he played in rock bands and a soul and R&B ensemble in Chico, jamming with anyone who'd have him across blues, reggae, rap, and pop.
At the end of the day though, Jason is a blues guy at heart — layering blues licks over everything he plays and finding a deep sense of peace every time he picks up his guitar.
There's something special about watching a hometown musician step out on their own for the first time. Don't miss this one.
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 Night Live - Olivia Harms
🤠 Friday Night Live — Olivia Harms
June 5th · 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.
Her first show here was one for the books — her return is going to be even better.

Born in Redding and raised in the Napa Valley, she grew up in a creative family where artistic expression was woven into everyday life. That upbringing shows in everything she does — her performances are warm, genuine, and the kind that make a taproom feel like the coziest room in the world.
This is her third time gracing the Waganupa stage, and if her last two shows are any indication, you already know what you're in for. If you haven't seen her yet — tonight's the night.

🎸 Friday Night Live — Farrow and the Peach Leaves
June 18th · 6:00–8:00 PM · Waganupa Brewing
Kick off the holiday weekend the right way — with a band you won't soon forget.
Farrow and the Peach Leaves are a Nevada City, California outfit who have chiseled out their own unique brand of Americana, Blues, Rock and Country — packed with thick blues guitars, locomotive rhythm, and seventies country rock overtones. Fronted by singer-songwriter Graham Farrow Knibb, the band pushes buttons that bring audiences as much to tears as to dancing. Their songs orbit themes of loneliness and love, betrayal and joy — with a deft earnestness that's deeply rooted in the Sierra Foothills they call home.
With three albums under their belt and a robust following up and down the West Coast, these are musicians at the top of their game. Come find out what all the buzz is about.

🤠 Friday Night Live — Chicken Fried Cats
June 20th · 6:00–9:00 PM · Waganupa Brewing
Happy Father's Day Eve — and what better gift than three hours of Texafornia outlaw country?
Captain Kitten's Chicken Fried Cats have crept down from their Northern California ridgetop hideouts and onto our stage for a night that's equal parts class and crass. This five-piece Sierra Nevada outfit combines tasty chicken-pickin' guitar licks and starry pedal steel cascades with Captain Kitten's raunchy wit and creamy baritone drawl — a sound they proudly call "Texafornia outlaw country." With a bull fiddle holding down the low end and drums keeping the whole thing rolling, this is honky tonk the way it was meant to be played.
Bring Dad. Bring the kids. Bring the dog. And stay for all three hours.
This is a family night — kids and four-legged friends are welcome and encouraged. Bring your own food, grab takeout on the way, and let us handle the cold pints.

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 Night Live — Max Minardi
May 8th · 6:00 PM · Waganupa Brewing
Welcome back one of our favorites.
Max Minardi is a full-time touring musician whose music blends Americana storytelling with modern folk-pop warmth — think Cat Stevens meets Noah Kahan with a little James Taylor thrown in for good measure. Whether he's performing solo with his signature loop-station setup or bringing the full band, his shows are built on the kind of musicianship and authenticity that reminds you why live music matters.
With over 200 shows a year and more than a decade touring the United States, Canada, and Europe, Max has earned a reputation as a master storyteller who connects with every room he walks into. His latest album Anywhere is a beautifully crafted collection of songs about heartbreak, love, and life on the road — and it sounds even better live.
This is a family night — kids and four-legged friends are welcome and encouraged. Bring your own food, grab takeout on the way, and let Max handle the rest.

Friday Night Live - Mandy's Couples Paint Party
Friday Night Live
Your Friday night spot for good music, good friends & great beer.
All summer long, we’re keeping Fridays easy at Waganupa. Some nights it’s live bands, some nights it’s open mic or games—but it’s always relaxed, local, and poured fresh. Grab your crew, pull up a chair, and start the weekend with us at Lake Almanor.
Couples Paint Party at Waganupa Brewing
Looking for a fun, creative night out with your favorite person or your bestie? Join us for a Couples Paint Party at Waganupa Brewing, where two canvases come together to create one beautiful sunset beach scene.
On Friday, March 13th at 6 pm, local artist Mandy Lowe will guide you step-by-step as each of you paints your own canvas; when you place them side by side, they form one complete painting, hearts in the sand and all. This event is perfect for dates, friends’ night out, or anyone who wants to try something new in a relaxed, beer-friendly setting.
The cost is $50 per person, which includes all painting supplies and instruction. Drinks will be available for purchase from the Waganupa Brewing taproom, so you can sip while you paint.
Space is limited, so please contact Mandy Lowe Paints to reserve your seats. The party will be held at Waganupa Brewing, 401 Peninsula Dr., Lake Almanor.
