ABOUT THE NEW "TROPIKA" RECORD:
Tikiyaki Orchestra’s fifth album is a soundtrack with many interpretations. Sometimes, an idyllic paradise. Sometimes, a place of danger and intrigue. The jetsetter, the beach bum, the lounge lizard, the international man of mystery, the alluring wahine, the soldier, and the suave - they all co-exist in Tropika, represented by their own musical escape. Enjoy your stay!

Buy TicketsDave Stuckey's Barndance Boogie
Dave Stuckey's Barndance Boogie is a Western Swing Dance Festival that has everything today's western swing aficionado could ask for:
8 of the hottest entertainers in the genre; a huge polished wood dance floor; a full bar and chuckwagon BBQ plus plenty of free parking - and it's got a new home in Pasadena!
The Crown City Dancehall is a classy, newly-renovated venue created by Danielle Deborah- co-producer of the annual Western Swing Out in Tehachapi.
With its large stage, great sound and entertainers like these - there’s no doubt this will be the first of many Stellar shows to come.
Headlining the All-Star line-up is Dave Stuckey with his jazzy Western swing band the Hoot Owls. You gotta love a band fronted by Dave Stuckey and backed by Dave Berzansky on pedal steel, Dawn Lambeth on piano, Marc Caprone on trumpet and a rhythm section of Katie Cavera and Gareth Price.
One of the genre's most prolific and talented bandleaders is guitar geek/singer/songwriter/author Deke Dickerson, who brings his immense knowledge of vintage music to the Crown City stage as his Whippersnappers join him, making more music with their 4-piece band than seems humanly possible.
It wouldn't be a Barndance Boogie without the highly-anticipated Southwest Biscuit Co. headed by Jody Byrd (the co-producer aka Byrd's Brain). His 5-piece Western swing outfit plays primarily original music, which has earned them a well-deserved nomination in the category at the annual Ameripolitan Awards in Memphis.
Leading off the festival at 4:30 pm is The Soda Crackers from Bakersfield. The relatively young ensemble performs with classic cowboy instrumentation that boasts twin fiddles. The Soda Crackers boys are the rare SoCal cowboy band that sees their future through the music of the past.
The Honky Tonk Angels are a fun group of cowgirls who’ll step up to the microphone throughout the day, lending their voices to a variety of numbers with each of the bands. Watch for Miss Mac (Shannon McDonough), Miss Kitty (Kierra Brie) and Lil' Sue (Susan Barrera) to shake things up - and keep you dancing all day long.
For our DJ, the show is lucky to have a Barndance Boogie alumnus take over the turntables: music historian and rockabilly legend Big Sandy! His collection of vintage vinyl is legendary, too.
There it is, Western swing fans - a complete compendium of the cream of the crop.
Make your reservation now to guarantee a good seat all evening - and plan to enjoy the chuckwagon buffet in the dining room.
