Bluesdays: Studebaker John
2022-08-16 18:00 - 20:30 | The Village of Palisades Tahoe, 1750 Village East Road, Olympic Valley, CA, 96146
Studebaker John makes his first Bluesdays appearance in nine years at The Village at Palisades Tahoe.
How many superlatives can be packed into a Studebaker? For Studebaker John, plenty.
Studebaker John is an authentic Chicago bluesman, having lived in the Windy City his whole life. And like the first automobile models ever made, Studebaker’s guitar is electric. He also is an accomplished harp player.
“He has a deep understanding of the blues tradition that comes from hanging with the classic Chicago bluesmen, but he’s created his own sound and style from these roots,” said Alligator Records founder Bruce Iglauer.
The Chicago Tribune: “His raw amplified canonical work recalls past masters like Little Walter and Big Walter Horton, while his slide guitar style is descended from the styles of Elmore James and Hound Dog Taylor.”
Born in 1952, Studebaker John Grimaldi was inspired to play slide guitar after seeing Hound Dog Taylor, with whom who he later jammed. He also shared the stage with Big Walter, Buddy Guy and Jimmy Johnson. His guitar playing is so respected he reportedly was offered to join the new version of the Yardbirds.
In addition to 18 solo albums, he has recorded with Pretty Things and the Yardbirds.

2022-08-14 16:30 - 19:30 | Valhalla Grand Lawn, 1 Valhalla Road, South Lake Tahoe
Achilles Wheel Trio plays on Valhalla’s Grand Lawn on Sunday, Aug. 14.
Paul Kamm, Jonny Mojo and Shelby Snow are singer/ songwriters and front men of the Northern California Roots and World music/Rock and Roll jam band, Achilles Wheel. As an acoustic trio they bring the same high energy and engaging stage presence to a quieter place, combining a bit of Country and Bluegrass to the band’s famously hard driving sound. But it’s the infectious quality of their songwriting that really shines in this setting, and the diverse nature of it as well. Paul and Jonny work off of each other like two sides of the same coin, actively looking for and pushing each other to find the most in whatever song they’re playing. Shelby on the bass is like a river, both calm and turbulent, that runs through it and ties it all together.

Valhalla Tahoe: Renegade Orchestra
2022-08-10 19:30 - 22:00 | Valhalla Boathouse Theatre, 1 Emerald Bay Road, South Lake Tahoe, CA, 96150, United States
The Renegade Orchestra fills the Valhalla Boathouse Theatre on Wednesday, Aug. 10.
The Beauty of a Symphony, the Soul of a Rock Band the Renegade Orchestra defies all the old conventions of a quiet, sleepy, stuffy show of musicians locked in straight jackets of tradition.
Clap your hands, tap your feet, and yell all you want – the Renegade Orchestra embraces the virtuosic skills of top bay area musicians and turns them loose on songs orchestras have never done. No sleepy pop songs, no overly-lush jazz standards, but the pure unbridled fury of what an orchestra can truly do. “If there’s one piece of advice I would give to anyone interested in seeing this group perform, it would be to expect the unexpected, or better yet, leave your expectations at the door and go in prepared for a ride. If there’s one thing that’s for certain, it’s that this writer will be catching them again the next time they perform in town.” Napa Valley Register “…Under the baton of co-founder, guitarist and conductor Jason Eckl, [the Renegade Orchestra] turn Nina Simone’s “Sinnerman” into a shimmering string-centric odyssey, capture the classic helter-skelter vibe in Paul McCartney’s and John Lennon’s “Helter Skelter,” find the funk in “What’d I Say” by Ray Charles and crash with vibratory verve through Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze.” East Bay Express

Bluesdays: J.C. Smith Band
2022-08-09 18:00 - 20:30 | The Village of Palisades Tahoe, 1750 Village East Road, Olympic Valley, CA, 96146
J.C. Smith Band makes its first Bluesdays appearance since 2016 in The Village at Palisades Tahoe.
The J.C. Smith Band is notable for the recent shows that he missed. Due to smoke from California wildfires, the 2021 Bluesdays show – and subsequently the rest of the series — was canceled. This winter he was on a three-week tour in Russia. The band returned home when Ukraine was invaded.
On April 30, the J.C. Smith Band had a benefit show in it hometown San Jose for Doctors Without Borders efforts in Ukraine.
Smith is known for its smooth sound and sharp clothes. It delivers various hues of blues, from horn-driven soul to Chicago style to early rock ’n’ roll. Singer-guitarist J.C. Smith is clearly influenced by T-Bone Walker, the player Chuck Berry emulated. He also has plenty of charisma and he makes sure the crowd has a good time.
A former drummer, Smith plays a Gibson 335, the same ax wielded by Freddie King, Otis Rush, Larry Carlton and the aforementioned T-Bone Walker and Chuck Berry.
Honors include the 2012 Metro Newspapers Best Of Silicon Valley “Best Original/local Band” and a Grammy nomination for the album “Defining Cool.” The band has toured Russia, Eastern Europe, Mexico and South America, and Smith has recorded with Willie “Big Eyes” Smith and shared the stage with Son Seals, B.B. King, Pinetop Perkins, Hubert Sumlin, Buddy Guy and Buddy Miles.
Smith is a big fan of the Rolling Stones, and the feeling is mutual. Mick Jagger attended a February J.C. Smith Band concert.
