John Courage began nearly 20 years ago as a project to span musical genres and bring in influences from across the songwriting world. Now entering the 11th year with the current line up, a sound has been carved over time and honed across rock n’ roll, blues, country and an Americana style wanderlust. The band covers wide ground from full tilt guitar driven choruses to melodic ballads that unfold into a psychedelic atmosphere, all set within the universe of three musicians- John Courage on guitar and vocals, Francesco Echo on bass and background vocals and Dan Ford on drums. With a batch of new songs ready to start rolling out in the new year, you won’t want to miss the return of these long standing North Bay underground favorites.

Mike Hellman is a country and americana troubadour with a bent for the unconventional. Slinging songs with substance, conviction and grit, he’s on a mission to tell his truth and he insists on being heard. While firmly rooted in the rich country and blues traditions of his home state of Texas, he refuses to pander to cliché and his sound is anything but predictable. His enthralling live sets swing from ballad to barn burner to outright rock ‘n’ roll, and his rich baritone conjures earnestness and humor while dealing head-on with all aspects of the human condition (and with a not-so-subtle nod to the underdog). An “outlaw” for outlaws, Mike’s music transcends the often narrow boundaries set by the mainstream country music establishment.
