IVY ROOM PRESENTS TUESDAY JUNE 16TH—ETHAN BUCKNERSCOTT ELLIOTT FERRETERHATS OFF—7:00 pm doors / 7:30 pm showADV TIX AVAILABLE - $23 DOOR—IVY ROOM860 San Pablo Avenue, Albany • 21+—ETHAN BUCKNER—Los Angeles indie folk/pop troubadour, activist, and community builder Ethan Buckner wants you to see who he really is: his traumas and triumphs, anxieties and hopes. His debut LP Treading Water, produced by grammy-nominee Justin Glasco (Paris Paloma, Lone Bellow), weaves between moments both intimate and anthemic, exploring struggles that are both deeply personal and unavoidably collective. Following a whirlwind year of touring and releases, including a headline debut at LA’s iconic Troubadour, Ethan and Justin are hard at work on his second LP. The project is Ethan’s reckoning and redemption, written after Ethan found himself immobilized for months in early 2025 following a severe back injury. His new work casts an invitation to embrace vulnerability as a source of power.SCOTT ELLIOTT FERRETER—Scott Elliott Ferreter, known for his duo, The Feelings Parade, and as a member of beloved Northern-California band, MaMuse, has a history of laying it all on the line. His devotion to music, itself, has him comfortable wearing many hats (songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist), though he is most at home behind the mic. His songs take on topics of ambitious depth—impermanence, healing, death, and ancestry— yet his humor and realness bring it all together with gentleness and easeful reverence.Having played enormous stages like the Masonic (as a special guest of Glen Hansard), as well as the Fox Theater in Oakland, he’s also stayed rooted with a history of playing state prisons and busking on the street. All said and done, he holds a rare kind of presence on whatever stage he steps onto.HATS OFF—Hats Off is a dynamic song writing duo with a passion for eclectic genres and sweet harmonies. Molly Fisher and Maceo Hastings-Porro embrace the free-flowing coastal vibes of their home Santa Cruz to bring a soulful, silly, and moving auditory experience.

ivy room presents THURSDAY MAY 18TH—ROB LEINESSHELBY COBRA AND THE MUSTANGS—Doors 7:00pm / Show 8:00pmAdvance Tickets Available / $18 Door—IVY ROOM860 San Pablo Ave, Albany • 21+ROB LEINES—"I'm burning down the interstate," Rob Leines sings halfway through Headcase, an album that finds the road warrior occupying the intersection of blue-collar rock & roll and outlaw country. Pulling triple duty as a songwriter, southern storyteller, and modern-day guitar hero, Leines fills his third album with tales from the fast lane, punctuating each song with amplified riffs and a voice sharpened by a heavy touring schedule. The result is a record for dive bars and dance halls, for highways and honky-tonks, for wheels that spin and and horizons that linger just out of reach.Headcase shines its light on more than surface-level road songs, though. Leines digs deep beneath the blacktop, delivering music about love lost, chances taken, and life lived between the mile markers. Songs like "Double Wide" still raise plenty of hell, but there's vulnerability here, too — a sense that you can't outrun your problems, even at 80 miles per hour. "Headcase is about doing whatever it takes to navigate the roads in your life," Leines explains. "It's about the things we do to just keep on trucking."Before recording Headcase with co-producers Mike Harmeier (the longtime frontman of Silverada, formerly known as Mike and the Moonpies) and Adam Odor, Leines quit his longtime job as a welder and hit the road in support of his 2021 album, Blood Sweat and Beers. The record became his breakthrough release, earning Leines a year's worth of gigs with marquee acts like Dwight Yoakam and The Mavericks. Night after night, he hit the stage with his power trio, mixing rock & roll bang with Telecaster twang. "After putting in all those hours and all those miles, we became really confident with our ability to put on a rock show," he remembers. "That's what this music is: it's rock & roll with a cowboy hat."To capture the rough-and-rowdy spirit of those concerts, Leines and his two bandmates — along with guests like organ player David Percefull (owner of Yellow Dog Studios) and harmony singer Kelley Mickwee (a fellow Texas-based solo artist, as well as a member of Shinyribs) — headed to Wimberley, TX, where they recorded Headcase during short breaks between shows. "We toured for three months before we started tracking, and we went straight from a gig into the studio," he remembers. "It meant our chops were sharp, and everything felt familiar." For fans of Blood Sweat and Beers, Leines' guitar playing — a mix of hybrid finger-picking, blues-driven rock riffs, slide guitar, and distorted chords from a customized Gregg Tele — will feel familiar, too. Every song is rooted in that instrument, with Leines firing twin barrels of fierce fretwork and heartland hooks. At the same time, Headcase explores new territory. The breezy, bouncing "High in the Cotton" draws parallels between turbine welding and music-playing, two on-the-go jobs that require workers to spend countless days away from friends and family. Having dedicated years to both careers, Leines delivers the song's spoken-word verses in a deep, weary baritone that channels the exhaustion of a long workweek. Elsewhere, he pays tribute to his grandparents with "Goldmine," whose funky, fiery riff nods to Jerry Reed. And on the hard-hitting "Black Lingerie," he replaces the hard-charging speed of his earlier songs for a slowed-down swagger that sounds dark, driven, and dangerous.Together, those songs turn Headcase into an album that blends roadhouse grit with juke joint grease. It's the soundtrack for the sort of road trip that never really ends, and Leines has never sounded so dedicated to the long haul.SHELBY COBRA AND THE MUSTANGS—Hailing from Oakley CA, a small city on the San Joaquin Delta in the shadow of Mt. Diablo, Shelby Cobra has brought his raw brand of “Ranch ‘N’ Roll” up and down the California coast for the past 20 years. Armed with a whiskey soaked voice, sideways grin, and backed by his band of wild Mustangs, he sings stories and songs that stick to your tongue and will have you humming along, well after the record stops spinning. You can take some advice from Shelby himself, “Don’t overthink it, just turn it up!”

Whisper to Thunder is proud to pay tribute to the mighty Led Zeppelin with a unique vibe of what Zeppelin created back in 68'.All four Bay Area musicians are highly professional performers with a long impressive list of bands over the last 20 years. Whisper to Thunder powerfully and soulfully blend blues, rock and roll, soul, folk, and Eastern music with a powerhouse female lead vocalist.Every live performance is a raw energetic good time with a focus on the intricate musicality of Led Zeppelin’s legendary rocking hits and handful of deep tracks. Just as Led Zeppelin explored a variety of styles, from English folk ballads to blues and rock, Whisper to Thunder creates their own inimitable, mythical style. The band conceptualized the name “Whisper to Thunder”, based on Jimmy Page’s personal description. When asked “What is Led Zeppelin to you”? Page explains, “We are like a Whisper to a Thunder”.Whisper to Thunder emulates every performance like riding a dynamic wave of powerful hard driving rock to a soft mythical whisper as a true honor.Hats off to Led Zeppelin, who opened new extremes of musical expression and remain as one of the best rock and roll bands of all time. Whisper to Thunder has the passion, prowess and pleasure to create and innovate the album-oriented rock songs as a true celebration day for all those who love the original music of Led Zeppelin.—FRED BARCHETTA (RUSH TRIBUTE)—About Fred Barchetta:Instrumental progressive rock act Points North has released two albums on the esteemed label Magna Carta Records label (Liquid Tension Experiment, Steve Morse, etc.), and has toured extensively supporting artists ranging from Al di Meola, Eric Johnson, and Allan Holdsworth to Blues Traveler and KingsX.In the rehearsal room, band members Eric Barnett (Guitar Player Magazine's Guitar Superstar Competition 2008), Uriah Duffy (Whitesnake, Fantastic Negrito, Steve Stevens Band), and drummer Kevin Aiello found themselves constantly launching into the music of one of their mutual seminal influences, that of the iconic progressive rock band Rush.The band then added Darby Gould, best known as the singer who followed Grace Slick in Jefferson Starship, and who currently plays with Big Brother and the Holding Company, who were of course Janis Joplin’s band. Darby’s truly endless range and power opened up the entire early Rush catalog, and the lineup was sealed.Headlining in its own right across the West Coast, Fred Barchetta has developed a reputation not just for performing the complex music of Rush with accuracy and proficiency, but delivering an exciting show experience that pays homage to the renowned live performances of the band whose music they are playing.Vocals / Darby GouldGuitar / Eric BarnettBass & Keys / Uriah DuffyDrums / Kevin AielloBOX OF PEARLS (JANIS JOPLIN TRIBUTE)—Box of Pearls is a high-energy tribute dedicated to honoring the music and spirit of the legendary Janis Joplin.

IVY ROOM PRESENTS SATURDAY JUNE 20TH—OCTAVIAN WINTERSNONE SHALL REMAINSTRANGE CITIESAGNESS TWIN—8:00 pm doors / 8:30 pm showAdvance Tickets Available —IVY ROOM860 San Pablo Avenue, Albany • 21+OCTAVIAN WINTERS—Octavian Winters was born into the ghostly isolation of San Francisco in 2022, during the third winter of the pandemic. Octavian Winters weave their visceral and ethereal sound into a texture all its own – of stories once told but half-remembered, under a dusk of shadows and stars, in an abandoned city under the winter moon. NONE SHALL REMAIN—None Shall Remain forges its own path as it blends post-punk with aspects of goth rock and darkwave. Lyrically, they unflinchingly explore how we simultaneously accept and deny death…and the repercussions it has on all aspects of our lives: love, hate, self-perception, politics, religion, meaning. The band's studio recordings light up the dance floor, while their live performances are an equally powerful, yet distinctively raw, experience.The members of the Brooklyn-based band came from all over the world, from Texas to Eastern Europe to Colombia; they also brought diverse musical backgrounds with them - including EDM, classical, punk, and death metal. It’s these varied backgrounds that created their distinctive sound and established their own space within the modern post-punk scene.STRANGE CITIES—San Francisco post-punk band Strange Cities' sound reflects the foggy, jagged, dystopian landscape that inspired their name. Whether stitching up pieces of a broken past or reflecting on an unknown future, their music skirts the fringe of noise and nihilism, melodic and melancholic, tragedies and trajectories. A post-post punk if you will..AGNESS TWIN—Agness Twin music style is reminiscent ofalterntive music from the 90's-2000s timeless. Elisa Ovrahim is the founder and Trademark holder of this musical artist.Her custom,double-neck electric 12-string/six-string guitar create a dark, heavy, pretty, ambient sound w\ hints of Americana& Folk. After the Love&Rockets US tour 2023 w/ Vinsantos. She released the latest EP "Turn to Gold".
