Full bar + food menu will be available for purchase onsite.

“In the final moments of "Dead Friends," the penultimate track of the new Lighten Up, Bad Cop Bad Cop guitarist-vocalist Stacey Dee sings, "So try to love your life, while you can." These words serve as a powerful thesis for Lighten Up (Fat Wreck Chords, September 19, 2025), the SoCal punk group's fourth full-length. The album paints a striking portrait of life's hard-won victories and hard-fought losses. "I think that's what I write my songs about," Dee says. "Life is hard, but it's still beautiful. Stop picking the hard shit to look at—look at the beautiful stuff too. Lighten up."

Dee and her bandmates—bassist-vocalist Linh Le, drummer-vocalist Myra Gallarza, and new guitarist Alex Windsor—know what it takes to persevere.”

J & The Causeways

Good Medicine + Numbskulls Productions Present: J & THE CAUSEWAYS live at Club Car Bar!

7pm - All Ages - Tickets available now at the link below

Full bar and food menu will be available for purchase

“In a modern world seemingly gone mad, one of distraction and white noise, what emerges from J & Causeways’ debut album, Motions, is this universal theme of togetherness and compassion — melodies conjured and cultivated with a keen understanding of reaching one another through healing and transcendence. “This album is about getting the listener to tap into their own inner power and inner beauty,” says Jordan Anderson. “Stop searching outward for those answers. Start searching inward. And then, maybe we can raise ourselves up and out of our sadness and problems.”

Lead singer/keyboardist of New Orleans soul/R&B powerhouse ensemble J & The Causeways, Anderson has remained a magnetic presence in the city’s vast, storied live music scene for the better part of the last decade. “It’s that breath of fresh air that is New Orleans,” the 34-year-old notes. “There are no bounds for music, food, art, people and culture — everything is enriched here.”

A Louisiana native, Anderson was raised in a rural community, one where music was a welcomed constant, whether it be listening and absorbing the sounds of his family members playing and singing or simply diving down the rabbit hole of a nearby record collection — Aretha Franklin, Al Green, and Otis Redding all within reach. Captured by famed musicians/producers Robert Mercurio and Ben Ellman (both members of NOLA cosmic funk outfit Galactic) at Studio in the Country and Esplanade Studios, Motions is a record soaked in the freewheelin’ ethos, culture, and sonic tones of a vibrant city that Anderson proudly calls home.

“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel like this album was some sort of creative burst,” Anderson says. “There were no compromises made on this. This is absolutely the closest version of who I really am that I’ve been trying to record and put out.” Closing in on eight years together, J & The Causeways have come a long way from those early days trying to secure footing, not only in their sound and purpose, but also that of Anderson exploring and discovering his voice and identity as a rising artist in an often hard-to-navigate music industry filled with seemingly endless unknowns.

“At first, it was so stressful, because you’re finding your sound and you’re gritting it out, trying to find something that is you,” Anderson recalls. “But now, when we got into the [recording] process and started putting these songs on record, I can’t believe what I was hearing back — it was what I wanted and more.” Diving into the melodic depths of J & The Causeways, one is immediately struck by the staggering vocal talents of Anderson, this soaring voice radiating from the stage — a level of octave prowess and sonic range akin to that of other renowned soul acts like Alabama Shakes or St. Paul & The Broken Bones.

“It’s that vulnerability of going around your house and being real goofy with your voice,” Anderson says of finding his towering, soulful tone. “And that really does factor into learning how to get a boastful and unique voice, by being vulnerable and trying things — finding the value of looking inside yourself.” Whether onstage or in the studio, Anderson aims to be a conduit into that universal energy of self. It’s this sacred, ancient space by which a human being is able to channel the essence of the magical ether surrounding all of us at any given time.

“A lot of people call it God, others call it a muse, but [whatever it is], it’s something in there that’s divine and uplifting,” Anderson says. “And when you can tap into that calm, meditative state and listen, you can truly sing how you want to sing.” At the core of Motions is the concept of cymatics, which are the visual representations created by sound vibrations. Leading up to the recording sessions, Anderson became utterly fascinated with how visible patterns were formed by specific frequencies and tones.

“I was in that mind frame of how everything can be connected through an energetic field, and not seem so material,” Anderson says. “At any point, and at any time in your life, you have the power to change those vibrations with your decisions and the vibes you put out into the world.” Anderson also is a keen observer and longtime subscriber to the idea of “the now,” where one is always aware and present in any moment you may be currently inhabiting or participating in.

“There’s no other true time. The past and the future? It’s all just made up,” Anderson mulls. “All we have are these moments that we’re having right now. This album is about vibrations and helping people put their own energies out into the world.”

Good Medicine Presents: IT & I

7pm - All Ages - Free Show

Full bar + food menu will be available for purchase onsite

It&i is a delightfully odd one-man-band, who performs punky/dancy/cabaret/pop originals. The drums are played with his feet, and he runs an acoustic guitar through an array of effects, and live looping, while tooting on a hodgepodge of homemade gadgetry. With a love for eclecticness, and the insane bombardment of stimuli a carnival brings, It&i believes in writing well crafted songs, full of exciting twists and turns. It&i's music spans from grungy-folk to cartoonish vaudevillian nightmare, and everywhere inbetween. Like a strange Goblin who roams the hills of eternal Autumn, he searches through haunted houses, abandoned factories, and dusk-lit woods for the right batch of notes to tinker up a spell.”

Willy Tea Taylor & The Fellowship W/ Montvales

Good Medicine + Numbskull Productions Present: WILLY TEA TAYLOR & THE FELLERSHIP W/ MONTVALES

7:30pm - All Ages - Tickets available now at the link below

“There is no question that Willy Tea Taylor’s life as a singer/songwriter was predetermined – his role realized the moment he wrote his first song. His inspirations drawn from two separate wells; Living the life of a cattleman’s kid and experiencing true visionaries music like Greg Brown, John Hartford, and Guy Clark. The image of Guy Clark and friends sitting around the kitchen table loaded with ashtrays full of butts, half-smoked cigarettes, food, and booze on one Christmas Eve in 1975 burned into Taylor’s soul. Those guys, swapping songs without pretense, lit Willy Tea’s fire. And ever since, its led purpose with passion – finding a hang by curating relationships through musical friendships that get him closer to his own Clark style kitchen table.

From his early days co-fronting The Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit, to singing solo in countless cowboy bars, to pitching countless wiffle ball games, Willy Tea has never lost the vision. Now Willy Tea Taylor has taken his vision of the “hero hang” on the road. and his talented traveling band The Fellership is made up of his fantastically talented buds who play Willy’s songs with a brand of reckless abandon and utter humility that spits in the face of pretense. The way The Fellership plays Will’s songs is the way they demand to be played and, in their short time together, they have been awe-ing every audience lucky enough to see them.”

Lila Forde W/ Two Paper Squares

Good Medicine Presents: LILA FORDE W/ TWO PAPER SQUARES

7pm - All Ages - Tickets available now at the link below

“With a voice like honey and an “Americana soul” sound steeped in old-school jazz, R&B, and folk traditions, the Seattle-born singer/songwriter carries the past into the present with refreshing ease. She does just that on her debut album VESSEL, a confident and cathartic coming-of-age record that captures the full spectrum of her artistry – from its roots in improvisation and harmony, to its emotional depth and genre-spanning warmth.

Raised in a spiritual, music-filled household in Seattle, Forde grew up without a television and with her feet in the dirt – the daughter of a musician and meditation teachers who encouraged her to stay curious, grounded, and creatively free. She spent her formative years singing in choirs, studying jazz in college, and steeping herself in the classics – including Bonnie Raitt, Carole King, Ella Fitzgerald, and Nancy Wilson – while developing a voice and vision that felt entirely her own. “There’s nothing else in this world I could possibly do,” she reflects. “I’ve known that from an early age; this is what I was put on this earth to do.”

7pm - All Ages - $10 Cover

Full bar + food menu will be available for purchase

Michael Peters & The Monsters bring a dark and haunting sound straight from the heart of Bakersfield. Their music blends country, western, blues & even grunge. Drawing inspiration from artists like Alice in Chains, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Cash. With raw vocals and deep storytelling, their songs hit with the weight of hard-lived experience. Formed in 2023, the band delivers a stripped-down but powerful sound. A brooding upright bassist lays the foundation, while a guitarist plays with melodic precision. Every performance is a dive into something raw and real.

———-

Shawn Clark writes music from the heartland. Attend a Shawn Clark Family Band show and you’ll hear a Hank Williams, Sr. tune or an obscure Marty Robbins song. Primarily, you’ll hear Shawn Clark’s original tunes, delivered in his confident baritone. Inspired when hearing Townes Van Zandt’s version of the Rolling Stones’ “Dead Flowers” while watching the film, The Big Lebowski, Shawn Clark thought, “I want to write music that sounds like that.”  Two years later, he has two albums, a fine group of fellow musicians making up the “Shawn Clark Family Band” and his sights set on bringing this old-style country music to a wider audience.

With his ever growing collection of original songs, like: “Foot Taps on Hardwood Floors,” “The Needle is a Skippin” and “Wasn’t Lookin for Love,” Shawn Clark explores the hopefulness of new love, the loneliness of lost love, and the conflict of falling in love fast, when you had no intention of racking up another broken heart. A Texas native, Shawn Clark now calls central California home. The Shawn Clark Family Band can be found playing throughout San Luis Obispo County, drawing the attention of music promoters throughout the state and receiving radio airplay as far away as Europe.

The Lowtimers

7:30pm - All Ages - $8 Cover

Full bar + food menu will be available for purchase onsite

“For nearly a decade, two dueling guitarists and songwriters, Austin Smith and Mark Tegio, built the backbone of their namesake outfit, honing their hard-worn Americana songwriting. Their music shaped by years of troubadouring up and down I-5, from San Diego to Seattle.​

Over time, their sound evolved from its more folk roots, inspired by the likes of Doc & Merle Watson and their guitar interplay, as well as mining the lines left by Townes Van Zandt and Blaze Foley, trying to learn the lessons those broken heroes left behind. As Smith and Tegio split their time between Portland and Santa Cruz, a new crew of musicians entered the Central California mix, expanding their sound in ways the duo perhaps didn’t know they needed—until they knew they did.​

Enter The Lowtimers. This new 5-piece band—Tegio (guitar and vocals), Smith (guitar, vocals and harmonica), Tim Kelso (drums), Andrew Dreher (bass and harmonies), and Payton Vermeesch (pedal steel)—remain rooted in soulful Americana, but they now lay it over a new sonic landscape, injecting fresh empathy and drive into songs that paint wise western portraits of lives and loves on the road to redemption, where the goal is less about prosperity and more about peace of mind.

We may remember the past, but we should never forget what the future may hold. To be open and honest with art, it’s evolve or creatively die. And often, evolution delivers an entirely new animal.”

"Starcrawler are a rock band for a new generation. Best known for their explosive live shows, the 5-piece band consists of full-throttle frontwoman Arrow De Wilde, guitarist Henri Cash and brother Bill Cash on pedal steel/guitar, drummer Seth Carolina, and bassist Tim Franco.

With two studio albums under their belts, their upward trajectory continues to roll full steam ahead in 2022 with the release of their brand-new single, “Roadkill.” Fully leaning into their own epic vision of a contemporary Hollywood Babylon, they’ve morphed into a modern day take on LA legends X, with a sprinkle of The Go-Go’s, a smattering of The Distillers and some Rolling Stones sleaze thrown in for good measure.

Since their early days, Starcrawler have won the love of such legendary artists as Shirley Manson, Elton John, Iggy Pop, Jack White, Dave Grohl, and more all while opening for the likes of Jack White and My Chemical Romance, and previous support slots with luminaries such as Beck, Foo Fighters and Spoon among others. Now embarking on a new ‘era’, Los Angeles’ most thrilling rock’n’roll collective are as raw and hungry as ever, but refined, refreshed and ready to take on whatever's thrown at them."

“The Howling Faith is a band that likes to keep things simple: melodic guitars, fiery vocals, more than a passing nod to some of the great "college radio" and alternative guitar bands of the 80's & 90's, with an extra twist of surf twang thrown in because why the hell not. When asked, "What do you sound like?", after a pause, some squirming and kicking at the dirt, founding members Laura Ishida and Danny Rodarte usually say with a shrug, "Garage-desert-surf-twang."   

We are Los Angeles natives - born and raised - which surely has a huge influence on our musical tastes and weird outlooks in general. Maybe being from L.A. also makes us yearn for the open spaces, letting our music take us there when gridlock is the rule. So ride with us, roll the windows down, and let us drag you through an old warehouse by the L.A. River on our way to the open desert. We'll give you a tightly woven guitar-bass-drums attack, soaring vocals, distorted and twangy guitar hooks, and just the right dose of reverb to create an L.A.-meets-the-open-spaces kind of sound. “

Gerard Egan shifts between six-string and steel with a tone that lingers more than it leads. They’re a married duo, and you can hear it -they leave space in the arrangements, never crowding each other. And in that space, you can tell: this isn’t performance. It’s presence.” - Meghan ‘Mae’ McCoy, Western Swing Society

7pm - All Ages - Tickets available now at the link below

Full bar and food menu will be available for purchase

Reverend Beat-Man is a Swiss musician, DJ and record company owner. He performs as a one-man band, as the leader of psychobilly band The Monsters, and with other bands, in a style described as primitive rock and roll and as "gospel blues trash". He is also the founder and head of Voodoo Rhythm Records, a company based in Bern, Switzerland.”

“For some, rock'n'roll is a pastime, while for others it is a lifestyle. But for Swiss singer/songwriter and one-man band act Reverend Beat-Man it is nothing short of a religion.

With one foot planted firmly on each side of the line which separates heaven from hell, the saved from the damned, and the saints from the sinners, Reverend Beat-Man baptizes obscure music seekers in a river of sound wholly unique to him, offering his many listeners a sacrament of primitive rock'n'roll, gospel trash, surreal folk, and wild blues. To be sure, this scary-eyed fire and brimstone preacher of the Rock'n'Roll Word plays fiery rock guitar, works the drum kit with very capable feet, and pushes out gravelly vocals that sound almost like a combination of Depression-era bluesman Blind Willie Johnson and the singer/guitarist for the dark roots duo Those Poor Bastards, Lonesome Wyatt. The Reverend's mission as a primitive rock and blues trash evangelist, it seems, is to show us the hell in his demented heart in order to bring us all to the light. I mean, with songs like Jesus Christ Twist, I've Got the Devil Inside, Come Back Lord, Save My Soul From Hell, Back in Hell, The Lord is Coming Back, Oh Lord!, and Fuck You Jesus Fuck You Oh Lord, how can we not assume as much?

It is evident that Reverend Beat-Man's sound has captured the collective ear of the rock'n'roll underground, especially among one-man band enthusiasts. In addition to extensive touring and being featured on several compilations, the Reverend has released one album, "Apartment Wrestling Rock'n'Roll," under his original moniker Lightning Beat-Man. After that, he went on to release two albums under the Reverend Beat-Man name, "Surreal Folk Blues Gospel Trash, Volumes I & II," and then a third titled "Get On Your Knees." Later, he went on to release an experimental album, "Your Favorite Position Is On Your Knees," alongside the Swiss industrial analog electro group Herpes-o-Deluxe under the moniker Reverend Beat-Man & The Church of Herpes. This last recording was received with mixed opinions by fans and press alike. The Reverend's faithful flock, most of them no doubt expecting more of the same, were thrown for a loop, as it were, and felt altogether removed from the highly processed sound and artificiality of it all. Of course, the Reverend Beat-Man & The Church of Herpes endeavor was not met with any apostasy...so far as I know, that is...and those in the loyal congregation of Reverend Beat-Man's Church of Rock'n'Roll remain as such.”

Amalia Fleming

Good Medicine Presents: AMALIA FLEMING live at Club Car Bar!

7pm - All Ages - $5 Cover

Full bar and food menu will be available for purchase

Amalia Fleming’s honey-covered vocal tone and sweet melodies lure us in, but then something even more powerful begins to emerge as each well-crafted lyric unfolds. The vulnerability, charm, and beauty of her persona surrender to a quiet defiance and confidence as she reflects on love and heartbreak, angst and optimism, and the precarious state of our world. She gathers all these elements into her songs and uses them as fuel for her creativity. Certainly, she uses her music as emotional catharsis for herself and her audience, but there is a hint of possibility that her true love is not the emotional experience of the moment but rather the transforming of it into music itself.”

Good Medicine Presents: SLO COUNTY STUMBLERS w/ CHLOE KAT & AMAIA MACHINE live at Club Car Bar!

Doors 7:30pm - All Ages - $5 Cover

Full bar + food menu will be available for purchase onsite

“The SLO County Stumblers are an energetic American string band based in California’s Central Coast. The band features fiddler Casy Meikle, guitarist David Baine, banjo player Daniel Bohlman, and banjo builder Jerry James on bass. The band formed in 2018 when Meikle returned to California after several years in Middle Tennessee where he became steeped in the region’s musical traditions, traveling extensively with a variety of Southern string bands and with buckdancer Thomas Maupin. The Stumblers play hard-driving old time fiddle tunes and spirited songs, heavily influenced by the golden-era string bands of the 1920s and 30s. Their performance is filled with humorous stories and banter and is guaranteed to get feet moving across the dance floor. 

In the short time since the band’s formation, the Stumblers have been hard at work, performing at a variety of folk and bluegrass festivals, square dances, oldtime fiddler’s conventions, as well as hosting the annual Pozo Oldtime Music Gathering. Each member contributes a unique role, educating and sharing their love of traditional music and craft.’

Kimmi Bitter

Good Medicine Presents: KIMMI BITTER live at Club Car Bar!

7pm - All Ages - $5 Cover

Full bar and food menu will be available for purchase

“ Imagine the sun-soaked charm of Palm Springs circa ‘62 mixed with a dash of California coastal weirdness in a mod-inspired dreamscape. Kimmi Bitter is a paradox that echoes the traditions of classic country, yet feels like it’s breaking all the rules at once.  A rising force in the underground Americana scene she's mixing the old school with the new cool by capturing the attention of music fans and critics alike.

      That boundary-pushing spirit came alive in her debut album Old School, which dropped in 2024 and came out swinging. It landed solidly on the Top 25 Americana Album Radio Chart and racked up a jaw-dropping eight nominations and three wins. But it didn’t stop there—her album dominated the Alt. Country Specialty Charts for four weeks in a row, and earned an Album of the Year nod from Saving Country Musicalongside Sierra Ferrell, Red Clay Strays, and Billy Strings. Her singles "Aquamarine" and “Cowboy Kind of Girl”
claimed the coveted Song of the Year title at the 2024 and 2025 San Diego Music Awards consecutively, beating high-profile nominees like Jason Mraz and P.O.D. If that wasn’t enough, her breakout year keeps rolling with a field-leading four nominations for the 2025 San Diego Music Awards and two wins for Song of the Year and Best Country or Americana Album. That’s not just a sign of success—that’s a signal that Kimmi’s about to kick into high gear.

    Kimmi isn’t just winning awards; she’s earning her stripes on the road the old-fashioned way. After over 120 shows nationally in 2024, she and her band, The Westside Twang, are doing what they do best—pouring their souls across the U.S.A. Guitarist Willis Farnsworth’s signature twangy tone, which somehow makes a Gretsch guitar emulate pedal steel, has not only built him a cult following but has also defined the band's live sound. With bassist Ben Neal and drummer Justin De La Vega in tow, the band delivers a live performance that hits right in the pocket.

     If Americana music had a highlight reel for the past year, Kimmi would be in it. She was named one of Americanafest’s biggest musical takeaways, and her album Old School also made it to Whiskey Riff’s Top Debut Albums list and was mentioned on Billboard’s 8 Must-Hear New-Country songs. With four major nominations already locked in for 2025, building a buzz for a sophomore album on the way, and a reputation for constantly pushing boundaries, it’s clear: Kimmi Bitter is just getting started.”
