Upcoming Events at The Dip
Summer Cannibals - Blushh
The Dip
1730 California St
Redding, CA 96001 Map
Doors 8PM | FREE | 21+ w/ Valid ID Led by guitarist/vocalist Jessica Boudreaux, Summer Cannibals initially cut their teeth on the local Portland circuit, eventually playing with some of their musical heroes including L7, Mudhoney, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, and The War on Drugs. The band has also toured with Cursive, Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, Titus Andronicus, & CHVRCHES. Along the way Summer Cannibals released a pair of fantastic full-lengths -- 2013’s No Makeup and 2015’s Show Us Mind — on their own label, New Moss Records. And in 2016 the band released Full Of It on Kill Rock Stars. Recorded with producer Chris Woodhouse (Thee Oh Sees, Wild Flag), Pitchfork said of Full Of It, the Cannibals “expertly balance flame-belching Mad Max riffage with lyrics frankly exploring questions of co-dependence and need.” The band has spent an unhealthy amount of time on the road, earning accolades and adding plenty of fresh converts to their highly-charged, no frills attack. With the band’s line up solidified now by long time drummer Devon Shirley alongside the additions of rippers Cassi Blum on guitar and Ethan Butman on bass they are truly a force to be reckoned with. Blushh is what you get after your bjillionthth quarter life crisis: when you realize you've been sitting in the corner your whole life watching the party happen from afar, never saying a word about how you felt, or standing up to grab the last cupcake. Blushh is what you really mean when you shrug it off and say "it's fine", when you roll your eyes and deal with it. Blushh is what you've been wanting to yell at the top of your lungs, but never had the guts to. Blushh is the project of Shab Ferdowsi who writes fuzzy guitar pop songs about the plants in her bedroom and the like. Made up of friends, Blushh is a four-piece band all living, playing, and eating $1 tacos in Los Angeles, CA.
Mestizo Beat
The Dip
1730 California St
Redding, CA 96001 Map
Doors 8PM | $7 Cover | 21+ w/ Valid ID Mestizo Beat is a collective of musicians based out of Los Angeles who compose and perform music influenced by the early 1970’s era of funk, soul, afro-beat, and afro-cuban genre. Formed by lead guitarist Aquiles “Lito” Magaña along with his brother Gus Magaña on drums. These two would come to share their passion and love for this era of music and become the driving core for the group. Influenced by the greats such as James Brown, Fred Wesley and the J.B.’s, Parliament Funkadelic, the Meters, and WAR. The word Mestizo means the mix and blend of cultural heritage; you cannot find a better word to describe the blending of music, environment, and roots that takes place in Los Angeles, which is one of the most diverse regions in the world. The band members come from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds that enrich the music created and performed. What is one to expect from a live performance of Mestizo Beat? One can expect an explosive dance party of heavy hitting rhythms that unify the audience and band into one pulse of love. The full ensemble also includes a brass section, organ player, and percussionist. Their sound creates a freight train of upbeat rhythms and groove that transcends their listeners to a state of exhilaration and rejoice. The beauty of diversity and cultural differences are embraced to boil into one universal meaning of love, rhythm, dance, and soul.
Josiah Johnson + The Feelings Parade at The Dip in Redding, CA
The Dip
1730 California St
Redding, CA 96001 Map
Doors 8PM | FREE | 21+ w/ Valid ID JOSIAH JOHNSON https://www.josiahsjohnsons.com/ Josiah is best known for being a founding member of The Head and the Heart. He took a break from that work a few years ago to learn how to live more wholly integrated and to work with and through problems with addictions. His expanding solo creations are transcendent, healing folk songs. Deep and soulful ballads that paint the imagination with rich and emotional landscapes of love, loss and transformation. Josiah's solo performances highlight a stripped down, emotive, lyrics-and-voice-first kind of song craft, inimitable in its sincerity and beauty, with the powerful joy of singing together. THE FEELINGS PARADE https://www.thefeelingsparade.com/ The Feelings Parade is the alchemy that happens when songwriters Scott Ferreter and Morgan Bolender come together to bare their souls through song and story. Their live shows--like their songs--are known for being simultaneously gritty and compassionate, and their sound exists somewhere between the nostalgic, harmony-rich acoustic singer-songwriter styles of the 60’s and a harder-hitting, electric barrage of texture and groove. Together, they’ve done multiple nationwide tours, spreading their music and message everywhere from basements in rural Nebraska to the bedsides of hospice patients to music festivals to the Great American Music Hall. Their live show is a deeply human experience--often filled with both tears of sorrow and tears of laughter, and they have come to be known for their vulnerable presence and storytelling as much as their music.

Scott Pemberton: Electric Power Trio at The Dip
The Dip
1730 California St
Redding, CA 96001 Map
Doors 8PM | $10 Tickets | 21+ w/ Valid ID Scott Pemberton Band sound is much like the vibe of his native Portland: freaky, fun and just the right amount of weird. The best way to categorize his music is with the moniker “Timber Rock”. Scott naturally applies his own lens/stamp to the sounds of the Pacific North West, the region he has always called home. The deep jazz, NW rock/grunge, blues roots and the west coast funk. It’s all there, and often all in the same song. Listeners are finding this honest, original and to-the-point music refreshing and fun. The mastery of his guitar playing combined with the fun recklessness of his songwriting show that the rules of songwriting and playing the guitar no longer exist for him. Scott plays with the uninhibited joy and intensity of someone who recognizes that every time we make music is an honor and a gift. “The Bruce Lee of Rock and Roll” -Tahoe on Stage “A modern day Jimi Hendrix” -Chico Enterprise
Futurebirds

Redding, CA 96001 Map
Doors 8PM | $10 Tickets | 21+ w/ Valid ID FUTUREBIRDS - psychedelic country Athens, GA The music is a patchwork amalgam of influences, including: twangy Southern rock (they've opened for the Drive-By Truckers), reverb-soaked psychedelia reminiscent of early My Morning Jacket or fellow Athens residents Phosphorescent, soaring guitar solos à la Neil Young and Crazy Horse, rhythmic jangle from that other Athens band, REM, multi-part vocal harmonies (which every band ought to have, dammit), and, weaving through it all, lyrical slide guitar. - Vox.com
Hillstomp

Redding, CA 96001 Map
Doors 8PM | $7 Tickets | $10 Day of | 21+ w/ Valid ID Hillstomp - Hill country blues stomp grass rock punk dance disco folk on buckets, cans and slide guitar. Stick that in your pipe. Portland Oregon junkbox blues duo HILLSTOMP is infamous for digging through the dumps and forgotten backwoods of American music, recycling traditional elements into a refreshing and distinctive brand of do-it-yourself hill country blues stomp. North Mississippi trance blues, a bit of Appalachia, and a dash of punkabilly come clanging and tumbling from assorted buckets, cans and BBQ lids, all drenched in rambunctious slide guitar. Somehow it works. Despite their homemade instruments and novel approach, Hillstomp is no novelty act. Hillstomp's memorable live performances tap into a magic that cannot be rehearsed, converting outlaws and traditionalists alike from skeptics into preechers. This has been witnessed in most of the 50 states as well as England, Ireland and Italy. Denmark and Ireland, we're coming for you again soon! After two widely-acclaimed studio albums, the band hopes to capture some of that live energy on a new album titled After Two but Before Five. The album was recorded live recently on two nights in the Northwest.

Doors 7PM | $20 Adv Tickets | $25 Day of Show | 21+ w/ Valid ID The Aristocrats (Guthrie Govan, Bryan Beller and Marco Minnemann) have released critically acclaimed albums, toured the world, and established themselves as one of the most musically original, refreshingly irreverent, and astoundingly entertaining instrumental rock-fusion acts on the planet. Call them a virtuoso supergroup if you must, but their musical high-wire act - employing random amounts of rock, jazz, pop, metal, and even traditional country - is informed by the spirit of a true band, one whose improvisational soul allows for anything to happen onstage at any moment...including the occasional wink and nod at the audience. The Aristocrats are touring to promote their most ambitious and exploratory studio album yet, entitled You Know What...?, and will be supported by fellow rock-fusioners, Travis Larson Band. With seven studio albums and three full-length performance DVDs, the award-winning Travis Larson Band is firmly rooted as one of instrumental music's premiere acts, having worked on record with Steve Lukather (Toto), Victor Wooten (Bela Fleck), Dave LaRue (Joe Satriani, John Petrucci, Dixie Dregs), Vinx (Sting, Herbie Hancock). Years of ambitious touring and shared live billing with notables such as Ted Nugent, UFO, Steve Morse (Deep Purple, Dixie Dregs), The Aristocrats, has established the band's reputation for live performances that masterfully deliver full throttle rock-fusion.

Radkey
The Dip
1730 California St
Redding, CA 96001 Map
Doors 8PM | $5 Cover | 21+ w/ Valid ID We are stoked to have Radkey back at The Dip! Radkey does whatever they want. Whether it's hard and fast, or slow and groovy as fuck. Radkey does whatever they want, and that's what rock and roll is all about. You can hear it in the music and it makes you want to fucking party. Radkey doesn't cater to one sound by calling themselves a "Punk Band". Radkey is: Dee, Isaiah and Solomon. Dee, the lead singer, guitarist and the oldest of the 3, has a powerful baritone voice, badass guitar solos and an equally powerful love for Japan. Isaiah is the Bassist with a fucked up dark mind, and a sexy way with words. Solomon is the Drummer and youngest brother. He's a lover of hot sauce and video games, and he takes it seriously. Radkey all grew up in a shitty little pink house in St. Joseph, Missouri. Homeschooled. Bored with nothing to do but listen to their Father's records and start a band. Radkey is a rock band. - Vinny Dingo

Elektric Voodoo
The Dip
1730 California St
Redding, CA 96001 Map
Doors 8PM | $10 Tickets | 21+ w/ Valid ID Elektric Voodoo is a nationally touring band based in San Diego, CA. The band blends classic afrobeat, Latin, rock & roll, psych, jazz, blues and many other influences into its own unique genre that tastefully straddles the line between modern and vintage. The band started when Scott Tournet (founding member of Grace Potter & The Nocturnals) started writing new material after leaving the Nocturnals. "Musically I wanted to try something a little different than what I'd done before. I wanted to make music with an undeniable rhythmic pulse but I really didn't want to make computer driven dance music as these past few years that seems to be much of what I hear." To accomplish that, Tournet tapped into the rhythms of West Africa, Latin America, and World music for inspiration. What came out the other side though was not just a world music project. Tournet's old band, The Nocturnals, had a quite a successful career which saw them write, record, and perform with The Allman Brothers, Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), Taj Mahal, Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys), Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin), Mavis Staples, Bob Weir (Grateful Dead), and many more. Through these experiences Tournet became schooled in song craft, soul, pop, blues, and classic rock & roll. So when he began writing songs to go on top of these powerful world rhythms the influences from his past shone through. What the listener is left with is a very unique sound that while immediately is very danceable, also offers innovation, song craft, and melody. Elektric Voodoo is a band that can excite and exhaust a Saturday night audience while also engaging and challenging more focused listeners. Rounding out this powerful 7 piece ensemble is Tournet (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Matt Bozzone (drums/percussion, vocals), Ty Kiernan (congas, timbales, percussion), Mitchum Yacoub (congas, timbales, percussion),Travis Klein (tenor sax, keyboards, percussion), Brad Nash (baritone sax, percussion), and Luke Henning (bass, vocals). Elektric Voodoo formed in 2016 and released their debut album later that year, which was met with incredibly positive critical reactions. Glide Magazine says, "tastes of The Flaming Lips, Santana, Fela Kuti, Tame Impala and The Arcade Fire break through atop this soulful collection of songs that are birthed with unlimited potential," while Grateful Web wrote that "by drawing from a variety of rich musical traditions, they have crafted a cohesive album that blurs the lines between genres and eludes classification." Relix Magazine describes the album as "intriguing, enticing, and engaging all at the same time ----- evidence of Elektric Voodoo's ability to cast a hypnotic spell." The band released their second album, Animal, in October 2018, and did a national tour in support of it. They released two singles off of the album, both of which have received positive reviews. In their review of "Animal Pt. 2", the lead single off of their new album, Glide Magazine describes Elektric Voodoo and their sound as, “a rhythmic howl of righteous grooves, rock tenacity, and experimental noise that recalls elements of Antibalas, Tame Impala, and Kamasi Washington." Since 2016, Elektric Voodoo has toured extensively throughout the U.S. and has shared the stage with a wide variety of artists including Anders Osborne, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Rebirth Brass Band, Songhoy Blues, Con Brio, Easy Star All Stars, Five Alarm Funk, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Commander Cody, The Brothers Comatose, Orgone, and more.

Redding, CA 96001 Map
Doors 8PM | $10 Adv Tickets | $15 Day of | 21+ w/ Valid ID Saturday, August 3rd with special guests Derek Deon and the Vaugns --------- Puppeteers for Fears, the world’s greatest puppet rock band and comedy troupe, present Cattle Mutilation: the Musical!, a quintessentially NW story of the generational divide, UFO sightings, and the search for bigfoot. But with puppets. Written by Josh Gross, directed by Katy Curtis, and with live music performed by Derek Deon and the Vaughns. ------- Something is happening to the cows. They’re found in fields turned all about. Intestines on the out, and outsides in…. After a rash of cattle mutilations hits their small Oregon town, a rancher and his son set off into the woods to find the beast they’re sure is responsible: Bigfoot. Instead they find themselves in the middle of an intergalactic family dispute with potentially deadly consequences! -See the first ever stage musical to tackle the hot topic of anal probing! -See the two-headed beast of the Rogue Valley live and in-person! -See if being good at video games is the same as having your flying saucer pilot’s license! -See the swinging surf rock soundtrack performed by Derek Deon and the Vaughns! -See cows finally strike back! -AND MORE! Cattle Mutilation: the Musical! (or Boner Pills From Outer Space!) was Puppeteers for Fears feature debut, and audiences have been begging for its return since the moment it closed. After three full seasons of ambitious new work and two west coast tours, PFF is finally giving in to the demand and bringing the show back, with a new cast, a more ambitious staging and a bonus song. An expected combination of belly-laughs, heart, and catchy pop hooks you won’t be able to get out of your head, Cattle Mutilation: the Musical! is both a loving homage to campy pulp sci-fi, and something wholly original. This is the puppet rock musical about bigfoot you couldn’t have imagined you needed, because it was too bizarre for anyone besides Puppeteers for Fears to have dreamed up. The show is 90 minutes long with one intermission, and features twelve surf-rock and space-jazz inspired songs written by Josh Gross, and performed by indie-soul darlings, Derek Deon and the Vaughns. It will be performed at various venues throughout Southern Oregon in spring, and then go on a west coast tour during the summer. Cattle Mutilation: The Musical was written and composed by Josh Gross, and directed by Katy Curtis. It stars Reece Bredl, Hunter Prutch, Lauren Taylor, Alex Giorgi, and Forrest Gilpin. Music will be performed by Derek Deon and the Vaughns, who will also perform a brief opening set of their original material in place of recorded house music before the show. The cast soundtrack will be available for purchase at all performances. –--------------
