Emmitt-Nershi Band

Whiskey Jacques is fired up to be bringing back "Emmitt-Nershi Band" again tonight February 15th. Followed by two nights of one of our favorite bands from Colorado the "Fox Street All-Stars" February 16th a & 17th.  Then Saturday February 18th we have One of Boise’s most fun cover bands "Pilot Error" playing 70′s, 80′s, and 90′s.Great way to celebrate Presidents Weekend in style in Sun Valley! Then February 19th, Sun Valley’s original funny guy, JOE CANNON, is back for another Presidents Day Weekend show.  Show time is at 430. Tickets are $15.

 With years of collective experience under their belts, Drew Emmitt and Bill Nershi exemplify the forward-thinking modern bluegrass musician. As linchpins of two legendary jam-bands –Drew with Leftover Salmon, Bill with the String Cheese Incident–both men have done the stadium-filling, high-profile rock ‘n’ roll thing to perfection. Along the way, however, they’ve honed their songwriting and playing chops and studied the bluegrass, rock and jazz masters they admire. Above all, Drew and Bill have shared a commitment to keeping music human-scaled and honest. Those qualities are found in abundance on their latest and greatest collaboration, New Country Blues–11 tunes made in Newgrass heaven.

Actually, the duo cut New Country Blues not far from home, in Colorado. Drew, who was born in Tucson, AZ and grew up in the heart of bluegrass country in Nashville, had been busy touring with Bill as the Emmitt-Nershi Band and had even done some reunion gigs with Leftover Salmon. Meanwhile, Bill had come to the Centennial State by way of New York State and New Jersey. Like his mandolin-playing bandmate, Bill had taken up bluegrass after catching a memorable edition of the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in the early 1980s. Back then he’d intended to return to New York, but the lure of blue-sky bluegrass in Colorado proved irresistible.

February 16th and 17th: Fox Street All-Stars

From the beginning of their time together, this core trio has been profoundly
influenced by the culture and music of the south and, specifically, New
Orleans.  Since they first got serious about the band a yearly pilgrimage to the
New Orleans Jazz Fest to bond over late nights jam sessions and bellies full of
beer of crawfish has been practically mandatory.  “A lot of serious band
decisions have been made on our yearly Jazz Fest visit,” said Low who considers
the New Orleans style of drumming to be at the core of his playing due to years
studying under the legendary Crescent City drummer Stanton Moore of Galactic and
Garage A Trois.  For the last two years The Fox Street All Stars have had the
honor of not only headlining the official Galactic After Show Party, but also of
having Moore sit-in with them for several numbers.  The New Orleans vibe is a
big part of what fuels the bands energy day in and day out…

February 18th,  "Pilot Error"

One of Boise’s most fun cover bands playing 70′s, 80′s, and 90′s. Great way to celebrate Presidents Weekend in style in Sun Valley!

February 19th, "An Afternoon with Joe Cannon"

Sun Valley’s original funny guy, JOE CANNON, is back for another Presidents Day Weekend show.  Show time is at 430. Tickets are $15.

A band manager just contacted me after hearing my demos at http://soundcloud.com/wyominghags/tracks. He liked what he termed good solid American rock 'n roll and added me to his roster for a year, pending my formation of a band.

Any guitar players, bass players, or drummers in or near northeastern Nevada wanna have a little bit of faith in me, hit me up. I've always known my songs are good enough to make money; now someone else just confirmed it. Dean Berry/Wyoming Hags - (775) 752-3114 - wyominghags@gmail.com. Thanks.
