Singer-songwriters Craig and Keith Rayburn bring a broad range of influences to their music. Hailing from the Monterey Bay, they play songs that are a mix of folk, rock and Americana. Their voices harmonize as only brothers can, with graceful melodies, poignant singing and deft instrumentation. The Rayburn Brothers Band has created a brand of California folk-rock that has depth and energy. Their songs convey the essence of love, longing and pain that only seasoned songwriters can express in such heartfelt terms. The Rayburn Brothers sing from the soul, touching in their audiences a chord of the human experience. Brothers Craig and Keith Rayburn grew up making music near the chaparral covered hills of L.A. Now they call the redwood canyons and crashing waves of Santa Cruz home.

Please join us for a very special event and be among the very first to experience one of the most exciting new acts to emerge in our region!

The Alternative Zen Blues Trial (AZBT), whose debut album is on Coast Road Records, is described by their label as delivering “in-the-moment, blues-based improvisation with a singular combination of funky grooves, musical dexterity, muscular jams, and rough-hewn lyrical poetics.” The band cites everyone from Hendrix’s Band of Gypsys and Johnny Winter to ZZ Top and Cream as influences, and their virtuoso power trio approach will have musicians listening and dancers dancing!

The band is launching with a trio of local performances, and El Vaquero is thrilled to welcome AZBT to our stage. This is the kind of show where you’ll want to look back and say you were there when it all began, so please join us to make a little musical history!

What makes the band truly unique is the far-reaching pedigree of its members.

Drummer Zack Kirk Olsen emerged from the punk scene to become the world-touring drummer for ska heroes Slow Gherkin, before becoming an in-demand jazz and blues player. Etienne David Franc is a groove-driven R'n'B master who has built a world-class reputation in both pop and world music circles, working with artists such as Chris Rene (X-Factor finalist and EPIC/Sony recording artist), Soulstice (Om/Geffen), O.P.M. (Atlantic), and Aimee Allen (Elektra). And Preacher Boy, regularly credited as "the godfather of alt. blues," has a 20+ year career that has seen him and his 1936 National resonator performing all over the world—as well as on albums produced by Rick Rubin (Johnny Cash, Red Hot Chili Peppers), Jon Astley (Eric Clapton, The Who), and Sandy Pearlman (The Clash, Blue Oyster Cult)—and being described as “a songwriter of startling originality” (MOJO).
El Vaquero Winery is a big fan of Preacher Boy and Zack and we're super stoked and honored to bring AZBT to Corralitos for the first time!
