About Me



WAGON plays original music inspired by the American traditions of old time and bluegrass music. We like playing our own renditions of traditional tunes and a cover now and then too. Based in the Bay Area, WAGON often plays at the Pelican Inn (Muir Beach), Farmer's Markets around the Bay Area, bars, parties, weddings, etc. WAGON likes timeless old music reminiscent of simpler times, while blended with an in the moment perspective on the issues and things that influence us. It blends into a tasty collection of fresh original compositions, and traditionals, offering the listener warmth, connection, reason to feel, and down home grit. WAGON is rolling and will be sure to get some grins cracking and your feet tapping. This year we're hoping to get into the studio, so check back for more of our music in not too distant future.
