Renee Wahl from Nashville and Lauren Wahl from Santa Cruz have never met until this one June 12 show came together around their love of Americana music and a shared last name!

Renee Wahl & David Strayer: Renee Wahl is a teacher; she’s a physics major; she’s a former member of the Air Force, and she’s a damn good musician. This skillset shown in the music she makes. Her brand of Americana is sharp as a tack. It’s precise and carefully thought out, yet wrought with an emotional rawness that cannot be taught. Her soulful voice has a grit that’ll give you goosebumps, and her innate gift of storytelling will make you feel like you’ve lived through every song lyric she sings. David Strayer, a Santa Cruz native who is a veteran musician in LA and Nashville, and who plays with Renee in her band “The Sworn Secrets” adds the rhythm flavor on his old school cowboy trap set. David has played with Mary Wells and Grammy award winner Gregory Porte.

Lauren Wahl & Simply Put: Simply Put is an indie-americana band that infuses the singer-songwriter genre with hints of folk-rock, pop, and funk. With songwriter Lauren Wahl on lead vocals and guitar, the band is a shape-shifting delight that keeps you engaged. You never know who you’ll get to hear play your favorite Simply Put tunes. Occasionally accompanied by a violin, perhaps lap steel, harmonies or keys, Wahl keeps it fresh, interesting and entirely inviting. Core members Ryan Navaroli- sax, Zach Lathum-bass and Marcus Balanky-lead guitar-work together with Wahl to blend a singer-songwriter genre into a creative, fun and funky set sure to keep you entertained all night long!
