Breathe in Foxygen

Continuing to bring Sonoma County great music at a reduced price (zilch), Lagunitas will be hosting Foxygen on August 4th in their ongoing summer concert series, Live at Lagunitas. The tandem of Sam France and Jonathan Rado have been hard working throughout their career and that work ethic made, We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic a reality. The album bubbles with psychedelic experimentation and lush vocals that are reminiscent of California's musical past. The sound-scape of this record drips in a soft warmth. It also touches on some elements of pop music with a unique edginess. Some of their songs bend between Belle and Sebastian ("San Francisco") and Lou Reed ("No Destruction"). Other tracks that I'm drawn to on 21st Century are "Shuggie" and "Oh Yeah." Maybe you'll be there too. Enjoy.

Lagunitas Concert Series

Lagunitas Live Music | 2014 

The Lagunitas Brewing Company recently released their live concert series schedule and it has some hot dates. I for one will definitely try to grab tickets to a few; The Wood Brothers on June 30th, J. Roddy Walston & the Business is a can't miss on July 14th, and the Foxygen show on August 4th should be awesome. There's nothing better than a beautiful northern California early evening, spent outdoors listening to live music, and sipping on a cold draught from a mighty fine brewery. I'll do my best to acquire the free tickets. Give yourself a better chance of securing tickets by checking each band's social media outlets, as well as, the Lagunitas Brewery, for any advanced information. Knowing when tickets are released is your best shot at attending due to the intimate capacity of this beer/music hybrid venue.

For a better look at the list: 5.26 The Revivalists | 6.2 Pimps of Joytime | 6.16 Tumbleweed Wanderers | 6.30 The Wood Brothers | 7.1 Allen Stone | 7.8 David Mayfield Parade | 7.14 J. Roddy Walston & the Business | 8.4 Foxygen | 8.11 TBA | 9.1 Blues Fest TBA | 9.8 Shakey Graves | 9.16 James McMurtry | 9.23 TBA
