Boot Juice hails from the Hills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in
Northern California. The band features electric and acoustic guitars,
three vocalists, bass, drums, saxophone and trumpet. Inspired by the
likes of The Band and Railroad Earth with an intensely energetic show
reminiscent of Talking Heads, Boot Juice has been gaining buzz with
their vibrant performances and party-sparking reputation. Shifting
effortlessly between driving bluegrass and americana into cosmic
rocknroll and swing. They deliver three part vocal harmonies and
dynamic instrumental arrangements with a sultry dose of blues and
soul. The collective effect leaves crowds little choice but to shake
it down on the dance floor. Boot Juice has been kicking around the
west since 2017, leaving audiences happy, and dance floors sticky.
They have kept an ambitious tour schedule, hitting the road in their
96 International school bus, constantly adding to their ever-growing
resume of festival and club appearances. Founding members Connor Herdt
(acoustic guitar and vocals) and Evan Daly (electric guitar and
vocals) have been friends since childhood. The two have been playing
music together since their teenage years, combining their respective
passions for americana and rocknroll songwriting with a desire to
create a big sound that feels right at home in a barroom or on a large
festival stage. Brett Worley (bass wizard) not only holds down the low
end, he is also Evans cousin and has been touring with the band since
the beginning. Bretts melodic bass style has become a signature of the
Boot Juice sound. Jess Stoll (vocals and artwork) joined the band
shortly after, bringing another lead and backing voice to the group
for deeply layered harmonies. She wears many hats for the band, acting
as thartistic director for all of the bands design concepts and
providing the vision and drive necessary for a big production. Billy
D. Thompson (drums) has been a staple of the Sacramento music scene
for the past decade, graduating from Sacramento State University with
a degree in Jazz Drum Performance. Billy brings his soul and funk
influence into the Americana realm, adding yet another dimension to
the bands sound. In 2019 Boot Juice came into its full current lineup
with the addition of its horn section. Caleb Sanders (alto and tenor
saxophone) and Micah Marmorstein (trumpet) bring an infectious energy
and tight horn harmonies to the stage, making it tough not to dance.
Its not uncommon to see these guys hanging off the rafters or running
into the crowd by the end of the night. Boot Juice plays music
that will attempt to bring you to the street corner, the river side,
or the open highway. They released their debut LP album, Speaking in
Tones, in May 2019 and followed in March 2021 with their second
record, Shifting gears. The group is currently tracking its third LP,
which will be released in 2023.
