Friday Night Live - Band of Brothers

JULY 3 — BAND OF BROTHERS
Friday Night Live · 6:00–9:00 PM · Waganupa Brewing

They're back — and the 4th of July weekend just got a whole lot better.

Band of Brothers is dedicated to one thing: bringing the music to life. From intimate acoustic sets to high-energy rock shows, this group delivers dynamic performances packed with new and classic covers that resonate with fans of all ages. Their passion for music is matched only by their commitment to community — proud supporters of the Wounded Warrior Project, these are musicians who play with purpose.

Their first show here was a crowd favorite — their return is going to top it.

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 - Jason Judy

JULY 10 — JASON JUDY
Friday Night Live · 6:00–8:00 PM · Waganupa Brewing

He made his solo debut right here on this stage — and we're bringing him back.

Chester's own Jason Judy is a member of Feather River Revival and a blues-rooted guitarist who found his way to the stage through a lifelong love of music. Starting on piano at 16, his journey took him through keyboards, bass, drums, and even a stint on saxophone before the guitar became his permanent home. He played in rock bands and a soul and R&B ensemble in Chico, jamming across blues, reggae, rap, and pop — but at the end of the day Jason is a blues guy at heart, layering blues licks over everything he plays.

His solo debut here was a special night. Come back and let him do it all over again.

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 · 6:00–8:00 PM · Waganupa Brewing

If you've been here for one of his shows before, you already know what you're in for. If you haven't — tonight's the night.

Michael Russell is one of Waganupa's most beloved returning artists — a Northern California guitarist, singer, and songwriter whose stone-cold blues guitar licks, old school rock 'n' roll energy, and timeless Americana storytelling make every show feel like the first time. Whether he's performing solo or with the Michael Russell Trio, it's raw, soulful, and impossible to sit still through.

We keep inviting him back because the room keeps asking for him. Come find out why.

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 — 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.

Friday Night Live - Jason Judy

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 - Danny Horton Trio

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 — 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.

Hailing from Santa Barbara, California, Jared brings an eclectic and dynamic style to every performance — drawing from bluegrass, blues, country western, outlaw country, rock, and singer-songwriter traditions, with a sound that simply defies categorization. He's known for his powerful vocals, quick and elegant guitar playing, and a one-of-a-kind incorporation of yodeling that'll stop you mid-sip.

His repertoire spans legends like Billy Strings, Doc Watson, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Hank Williams, and Joe Cocker — alongside over two hours of original music. And yes — he's won multiple yodeling contests and was featured on American Idol.

Grab your pint, grab your crew, and come experience live music the way it was meant to be heard — cold beer in hand.

Free to attend. Friday, April 17th. Doors open at 6:00 PM.
