Jam Groove
Bolinas quintet New Monsoon are a longtime staple of the San Francisco Bay–Area jam–band scene. Intricate songcraft, deep grooves, global influences and extended improvisation meld to create their own brand of rock ‘n’ roll. Now celebrating more than 25 years of making music, the band is better than ever.
Original members Bo Carper and Jeff Miller first met at Penn State University. After relocating to Northern California, they named the group New Monsoon for the relentless rains of that first El Niño winter. Inspired by Santana, The Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin and various global music stylings, they’ve since toured the world with their transcendentally eccentric, live performances. New Monsoon takes the stage on Aug. 18 at 4 p.m. for Concerts at Commons Beach in Tahoe City. | newmonsoon.com
