Johnny Winter "A Guitar Hero Without Equal" LIVE @ Napa Valley Opera House |
Johnny Winter has been a guitar hero without equal. Signing to Columbia records in 1969 called largest solo artist deal of it’s time, Johnny immediately laid out the blueprint for his fresh take on classic blues a prime combination for the legions of fans just discovering the blues via the likes of Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton. Constantly shifting between simple country blues in the vein of Robert Johnson, to all-out electric slide guitar blues-rock, – Johnny has always been one of the most respected singers and guitar players in rock and the clear link between British blues-rock and American Southern rock (a la the Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd.) Throughout the ’70s and ’80s, Johnny was the unofficial torch-bearer for the blues, championing and aiding the careers of his idols like Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker.
Best known for his late 1960s and 1970s high-energy blues-rock albums
and live performances, Winter produced three Grammy Award-winning
albums for blues legend Muddy Waters. Since his time with Waters, Johnny
Winter has recorded several Grammy-nominated blues albums and continues
to tour extensively. In 1988, he was inducted into the Blues Foundation
Hall of Fame and in 2003, he was ranked 74th in Rolling Stone
magazine’s list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time”

"West End Wednesdays" @ The Uptown Theatre |
Food & Drink Specials Plus Local Live Music!
Our Courtyard Cafe will be open every Wednesday from 5-7pm through the summer! We’ll be serving our “elavated pub fare” and we’ll be offering specials each week.The bar will be open and we’ll be featuring live, local acoustic music.
John Kelly and Jennifer Jekel are neighbors and
long-time friends who live in the mountains of Napa Valley, in
California. They have been playing music together since Jennifer learned
her first tune in the summer of 1985, when she brought her mandolin to
John’s workshop and he picked up his guitar and accompanied her on
Solders Joy ~ not long after, they gained notoriety for their diverse
ethnic sounds. John Kelly has been a performer of Irish, Scottish,
British Isles traditional folk songs since he was a very young lad, as
well as a composer of many of his own original songs. The Kelly &
Jekel Duo have begun composing their own material in recent years, and
that is very fresh and exciting !
Kelly & Jekel Duo 1992
Their repertoire includes many Irish and British Isles traditional
folk songs, as well as istrumentals of classic Italian, Latin,
gypsy, jazz , and Celtic tunes, however, since 2010 the duo has suddenly
been composing original instrumental tunes by the dozens, developing
their own unique sound they like to call “Bohemian Nouveau” and “Napa
Mex”. With their many original compositions , they are able to play an
entire event of all-instrumental and all-original music if called for.
John’s vocals of traditional Celtic tunes accompanied by Jennifer on
mandolin, or Jennifer’s melodic and sensual mandolin accompanied by
John’s bassy and clever guitar will bring a smile to any audience,
whisking the listener away to some far corner of the world through song.

Brad Mehldau Trio LIVE @ Napa Valley Opera House |
The Brad Mehldau Trio comprises Mehldau on piano, Jeff Ballard on drums, and Larry Grenadier on bass. They will be performing from Ode: an album of original songs and the first from the trio since 2008’s live Village Vanguard disc and the first studio trio recording since 2005’s Day Is Done. It features 11 previously unreleased songs composed by Mehldau. Many of the songs on the new album were written as tributes, or “odes,” to real and fictional people.
Jazz pianist Brad Mehldau has recorded and performed extensively since the early 1990s. Mehldau’s most consistent output over the years has taken place in the trio format. Starting in 1996, his group released a series of five records on Warner Bros. entitled The Art of the Trio. Mehldau also has a solo piano recording entitled Elegiac Cycle, and a record called Places that includes both solo piano and trio songs. Elegiac Cycle and Places might be called “concept” albums. They are made up exclusively of original material and have central themes that hover over the compositions. Other Mehldau recordings include Largo, a collaborative effort with the innovative musician and producer Jon Brion, and Anything Goes — a trio outing with bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jorge Rossy.

Joshua Paige |
Joshua Paige is a Country Singer and Songwriter from Napa California. Growing up on the family ranch in a home that was grounded on southern values, he often felt out of place being in an urban setting. While his peers made fun of him for being different, he found peace of mind venting about those differences in his music.
While Paige was in school, his love for country music had become so great that he gave up all other aspirations to fully pursue it. Appearing on several national television shows and singing for Nascar, quickly made him a hometown star. His humorous songs about life and his high energy performances were a hit with the locals and Paige started venturing out around Northern California.
Paige performed over 200 times before making the decision to move to Los Angeles. Not long after the move, while feeling homesick, Paige wrote a song called “Country Boy” which described his experience being a country boy in a big city. The song caught the attention of producer Chris Bell (who has worked with artists such as Prince, , and Nickelback) and the two began working together. Their first two releases “She Got Everything” and “You Are Not Alone” are available on iTunes and they are currently recording a full album. Paige is also performing regularly around Southern California and Las Vegas.

Jeff Campitelli, Peppino D’Agostino, VOENA & friends BENEFIT CONCERT @ The Uptown Theatre |
This is a fundraiser for VOENA to raise enough funds to allow all children to participate in this amazing Olympic Performance opportunity. From the beginning of humanity all the way back to Eve, children’s voices have brought inspiration through their innocence, capturing the hearts of all those who listen. Meet VOENA, children ages six to eighteen representing 35 cultures growing up in America as they come together in expression and exploration! VOENA Children’s Choir is a professional program, unique because of its no-audition policy. VOENA teaches children ages 5-18 ethnically diverse music, instilling in them an appreciation and enthusiasm for different languages and cultures while cultivating, what director Annabelle Marie calls, the VOENA BIG 3: 1) accept the challenge, 2) be self-motivated, and 3) embrace an ethic for hard work. VOENA participants sing music from many countries, all in the native language, promoting peace through the exchange of culture.
JEFF CAMPITELLI: For over 20 years now, Jeff Campitelli is the one drummer that virtuoso-guitarist Joe Satriani consistently relies upon. In Joe’s words, “He sets me free to really play. He always finds a deep groove and pocket, which I’ve learned I need to play my best.” What makes Satriani so successful is that his music isn’t just about flashy chops….it’s really about well-written songs with memorable melodies and addictive grooves. Like his boss, Campitelli has all the chops, but knows when and when not to use them. Jeff enhances, supports and lifts the music. He plays for the song. What also sets him apart is his ability to perform equally well, both live and in the studio.
Peppino D’Agostino: Peppino D’Agostino doesn’t just play the guitar. He composes, arranges, collaborates, improvises and has even been known to sing a song here and there in both English and Italian. But what he does create on the guitar makes the difference between simply playing and truly making music apparent in the most wonderful ways. D’Agostino has been hailed as “a guitarist’s guitarist” by Acoustic Guitar magazine as well as “a giant of the acoustic guitar” (San Diego Reader), and holds many top guitar awards, but the San Francisco Chronicle encapsulated the essential difference that distinguishes D’Agostino’s music when it dubbed him “a poet.”
