Jeff Troiano

Join us for a fun evening of music and dinner! Check out What’s Cookin for the menu details.

Born in Youngstown, Ohio, Jeff Troiano has been a long-time Californian singer, songwriter, and guitarist. After moving away to College, Jeff started out by learning six chords on the guitar and sang Neil Young’s moody “Last Trip to Tulsa” over and over again, but of course, there was a red knit cap over the light fixture in Jeff’s dorm room for ambiance.

After many adventures, Jeff graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a degree in Spanish Literature (and is still not sure how he pulled that off). While working in San Francisco, Jeff created his first record and has never looked back. Now he lives in Santa Rosa, where he grows things, sings songs, stares at the night sky, and feels very, very fortunate. I hope you do too. 

Listen to Jeff’s music for a sneak peek of what we will be enjoying.

Locals welcome ~ outdoor live music is a great way to spend a summer evening.

Travis Howard

LIZ HUETT BIO

Currently residing in Los Angeles, Liz Huett is a songwriter and artist with her own unique way of storytelling stemming from her love of 90s country music and early 2000’s pop. She began her music career as a background singer for Taylor Swift, moving on to sign a publishing deal with Warner Chappell in Nashville Tennessee where she wrote songs for country acts by the likes of Sara Evans, Jana Kramer, Nashville the series, and Garrison Star. Upon moving to LA in 2017 to launch her own artist career, she began and continues to release music independently as well write songs with/for artists in both Nashville and LA. Her favorite kind of song passes the “campfire test” meaning that she strives to write the type of lyric and melody that would still captivate the listener even if you stripped away all the bells and whistles of production. Listen to her songs anywhere music is available. 

DANNY MYRICK

Muddy water Mississippi preacher’s kid Danny Myrick grew up playing, singing and writing for his family gospel band in south Mississippi and had his first #1 gospel song at the age of 17. Upon moving to Nashville, Danny had several more southern gospel and Contemporary Christian hits before founding 90’s country rock band Western Flyer, with whom he had numerous top 40 hits. Danny has gone on to have cuts on a diverse range of artists from Montgomery Gentry to Joe Cocker to Maddie & Tae who have sold over 100 million records combined. He has celebrated many hits, such as Craig Morgan’s “International Harvester, Tim McGraw’s “Truck Yeah”, LoCash’s “I Love This Life” and 2009’s most played country smash, “She’s Country”.  In 2020, Danny released his first solo EP “King Of Jones County”, featuring the acclaimed song and video “God Is A Gun”, and produced recent #1 albums “Love Out Of Time” by The Voice Season 17 winner Jake Hoot and “Company’s Comin’ by Actor/Comedian/Social Influencer Leslie Jordan featuring Chris Stapleton, Dolly Parton, Eddie Vedder, Brandi Carlile, TJ Osborne and more.

Introducing The Latchkey with Pop-up Dinner

Introducing The Latchkey with Pop-up Dinner

Introducing Latchkey: “Like a Country Velvet Underground’s 3rd Album”

 

Pop-Up Dining details — Lasagne, Garden Salad, House baked sourdough bread, CHOCOLATE YUM WITH CREAM AND BERRIES. $25

Mixing elements from countrified soul, 70s AM radio, and four-part vocal harmony, and putting the results through a punk rock filter, Latchkey presents an invigorating twist on the Northern California festival vibe with a sound that’s been described as “a country Velvet Underground’s 3rd album.” Their debut recording, Backyard, showcases the dreamy, acoustic side of the group. They’re currently holed up at Temple Studio, working on recordings that show off their more raucous and electric side.

  • Jen Martell is the youngest of a musical family, comfortable with styles from campfire drum circles to West African dance. The innate musicality and smoky alto voice of this percussion goddess, singer, and songwriter are the key to the Latchkey sound.

  • Nicholas Petti came of age on the streets of New York City and the stages of CBGB and Max’s Kansas City, and later played with luminaries like Ryan Adams. He brings the twang with guitar, pedal steel, songwriting, and vocals.

  • John Taylor is Latchkey’s special sauce. The wry guitar artistry and impassioned vocals of this St. Petersburg native add depth and detail to Latchkey’s songs; and like his Duran Duran name-alike, he’s a total babe.

  • Todd Cinnamon began his career with Sacramento’s The Go, at age 14. Inspired by awkward unicorns, rainbows, and glitter, this multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and songwriter is mainly responsible for the beat, citing Ringo and Animal from The Muppets as his top influences.

  • Peter Temple rounds out the five-piece. A Colorado transplant, this bassist and engineer has been providing the bottom end for local groups since the early 90s. In addition to laying the foundation for Latchkey, he also owns and operates Temple Studio, a full-service recording and live sound studio.

The group also refreshingly reinvents beloved traditional tunes.

The four musicians have previously played together in various configurations but united to rage fiddle tunes and smash the patriarchy in Big Richard. The band is platinum recording artist Bonnie Sims on mandolin (Bonnie & Taylor Sims, Everybody Loves an Outlaw, Bonnie and the Clydes), multi-genre musician Dr. Joy Adams on cello (Nathaniel Rateliff, Darol Anger, Half Pelican, Bruce Hornsby, Bobby McFerrin, Chick Corea, Ben Folds), Emma Rose on bass and guitar (Sound of Honey, Daniel Rodriguez, Whippoorwill, Courtney Hartman), and Eve Panning on fiddle (Lonesome Days, TEDx, Barrage, Hollywood Film Score Orchestra).

The Performers

Gillian Grogan

GILLIAN GROGAN
Gillian Grogan is an independent singer and songwriter currently based in Sonoma County, California. Tickled strings and floating vocals, hammered riffs and belted requests—Gillian’s music is untamed and untethered to any genre. She’s singing stories where Americana meets folk and steeps into soul, where finger picking builds and swells and gets slapped back to silence. The Woven Collective calls it "an unforgiving tuggin' at your roots, no matter where you come from, her lyrics wash over you like gentle reminders of another life you haven't had yet."

She calls it full-bodied folk. “It’s definitely got a folk foundation, but then it’s also busting at the seams sometimes… it’s just curvy like that.” Gillian released the Live at Earthtones Audio EP this past August and anticipates the first singles off her debut record to release this fall. Pairs well with massive vistas, bustling gardens, light mischief, hope and driving alone.

https://linktr.ee/gillian.grogan

 

Ollella

OLLELLA
Ollella’s career as a musician started early, when she sang before she could talk. Trained as a classical cellist since the age of nine, the Seattle indie-folk musician merges her technical background with authoritative vocals, live-looping, and improvisation. Described as “really outstanding” by NPR Music’s Bob Boilen and “so tastefully done” by Michelle Zauner (Japanese Breakfast), Ollella blends the acoustic with the contemporary, folk with pop, and tenacity with softness, pulling on influences such as Feist, Cat Power, and Jesca Hoop. Her playing has been featured in films screened at Film Festivals such as Sundance and Aspen Film Fest, on recordings with others including Grammy-winning artist Peter Kater, and has shared the stage with popular Americana acts such as the Shook Twins and Rising Appalachia. She finds herself drawn to music because it unlocks a particularly organic flavor of humanity – one that fits the type of world she believes in.

Caitlin Jemma

Join us November 6 th for an evening of music with Indie musician and singer-songwriter Caitlin Jemma.

Caitlin Jemma speaks for the multitudes on her celestial new disco-folk album, True Meaning, recently released on September 17th by American Standard Time Records. Conjuring the soulfulness of Norah Jones, the melancholy of Joni Mitchell, and the lyric-bending bewitchment of Bonnie Raitt, Jemma takes listeners on an atmospheric journey from heartbreak to hope throughout the ten dynamic tracks which make up True Meaning—a vulnerable-yet-spirited release exploring the full emotional spectrum of being human, while posing an age-old philosophical question: “What is the true meaning of life?”

True Meaning gives us sparse, inner-directed desert-folk hymns, ala Damien Jurado and Tift Merritt, juxtaposed with lush, full-band rockers featuring Van Morrison-like horns, Velvet Underground-meets-The Band-infused rhythm sections, and impassioned Motown-era backing vocals. Jemma’s songbird timbre sounds half-broken and half-resilient, accompanied by western slide guitar and evoking the feeling that the lights of the next city are just over the ridge.

Find out more at www.caitlinjemma.com and https://www.youtube.com/c/CaitlinJemma.

Due to Covid, we will have to cancel if it rains.


This performance is free for campers staying at Mendocino Grove for the night of November 6.

As rising stars in the west coast Americana scene, The Real Sarahs have distinguished themselves as skillful harmony singers and evocative songwriters. With an organic sound that enchants and uplifts the spirit, they share their special gift of vocal synergy. This ensemble creates magic with voices in harmony, acoustic instruments, and the energetic connection between artists and audience. Embracing many genres of music, you are likely to hear threads of folk, jazz, blues, bluegrass, and country running through their songs. Singing from the stories of their own journeys and life experiences, their original music is honest, captivating and heartfelt.
