Achilles Wheel

There’s a reason that fans keep riding the Achilles Wheel as it spins round and round in an evolving cycle of creativity. Their signature mix of effervescent jam-rock, Sierra blues, reggae, new-grass and psychedelic excursions is more potent than ever. Equipped with a vast repertoire of inspired originals along with classic covers, there are so many different pathways an Achilles Wheel show can explore.

It’s rare to find bands that pack such a punch with meaningful song writing, vocal resonance and adventurous jam swagger. It also doesn’t hurt to have one of the best guitarists in the west – Jonny “Mojo” Flores – on your team. Guitarist/vocalist/songwriter extraordinaire Paul Kamm has earned legendary status around these parts. The chemistry between Mojo and Kamm and unlike any other.  Bassist Shelby Snow is a marauding pirate of funky, elastic grooves who’s almost as fun to watch as he is to hear. Drummer Mark McCartney plays with the energy of a teenager and the finesse of a well-seasoned veteran.

This formula amounts to some potent musical medicine. Their connection with the Crazy Horse runs deep and you can always count on the band breaking new ground here. This pre-Halloween show has become a tradition of epic proportions!
