Modern spin on the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Byrds, Foo Fighters, Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, Traveling Wilburys

Bay Area based Fossil Farm has been entertaining audiences with a fun and lively assortment of classic, folk, and alt-rock music for over a decade. The group puts their own modern spin on music from the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Byrds, Lumineers, Foo Fighters, Tom Petty, Chris Isaak, Fleetwood Mac, Moody Blues, Traveling Wilburys, and more. The band began as a collaboration of musical ideas between Drew Morrish, a British pub-band rocker, and Rich Fassler, a part of the 60's East Bay garage band scene. The two met by chance in 2004 and discovered they shared the same musical interests and style, despite growing up over 5,000 miles apart. They have been rocking the Bay Area ever since.

Burning Hot Blues Rock and Classic Rock

Sean and the Skinwalkers is a blues rock trio from Monterey County California. Just as comfortable playing traditional blues as they are tearing through a psychedelic rock song, the common thread is always the blues and the intensity that they bring to every performance. No two performances are ever the same as everything is raw and changes on the fly, with improvised wild guitar solos that often take place in the audience. Sometimes compared to the legends of the 70s blues rock scene, Sean and the Skinwalkers does cover a wide range of music in addition to playing psychedelic blues rock originals. You'll hear covers and inspiration from artists like Led Zeppelin, Rory Gallagher, Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter, Free, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, David Bowie, Marcus King, Stray Cats, Tab Benoit and more, but always with the Skinwalker's unique flavor. Keep your camera ready as you never know what to expect, Sean is likely to jump into the audience and use your beer bottle to play slide guitar while he has a conversation with you. Nobody ever forgets a Sean and the Skinwalkers performance! Original music on every streaming platform, with a new album releasing soon!
