Every Friday night, come down to the Barrel Room to start the weekend right and sip some Carr wines by the glass. This week featuring the band Aloud.

"Good music has a catchy rhythm, a hummable melody, and—if you’re lucky—an unforgettable sing-along chorus. But great music has something else, something it’s almost impossible to capture: soul.

Over fifteen years of dedicated musicianship has certainly paid dividends. First on local, then national tours, Aloud started honing a sound that has earned comparisons to the Alabama Shakes and the Black Keys. Their latest single, “Falling Out of Love”, reveals an evolution of the band, showcasing their incredible harmonies in a soulful ballad reminiscent of the classic Muscle Shoals sound."

Free admission, 21+

“We are two out of four of the band DKP, or Da Kar Project from Santa Barbara. Playing for many years in Hawaii and the central CA Coast. Originally from Maui, we link the Island style flavor mixed in with fusion and variety of songs that feel good. More of a reggae vibe, we enhance our vibe, combing R&B, Hip-hop, Top 40, classics, oldies and everything in between. Myself, I am the lead vocals which I also play the Ukulele and Justin provides the guitar rhythm and some smashing lyrical feel good flows.”
