Friday Night Live — Jared Nels

April 17th · 6:00 PM · Waganupa Brewing

Get ready for something a little different — and a whole lot of fun.

We're welcoming Jared Nels to the Waganupa stage for the first time, and trust us, this one's worth showing up early for.

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.

🎶 Friday Night Live — Feather River Revival

April 24th · 6:00 PM · Waganupa Brewing

Some bands just sound like where they're from — and Feather River Revival is exactly that.

Their name says it all: roots-driven music with a revival spirit, right here in the heart of the Sierra. Think classic sounds with real energy — the kind of music that fills a room and gets your foot moving whether you want it to or not. If you know Stray Cat Strut, you already have a taste of their vibe.

Come pull up a stool, pour one out, and let the music do the rest.

Friday, April 24th. Starts at 6:00 PM. No cover.
