A little bit of alt-country, a little bit of rock & roll, Justin Hambly & The Heavy Hand come to this Willow Glen watering hole from the misty Santa Cruz Mountains. Featuring twangy leads, a jangly, rhythmic swagger, and wide-open choruses, Hambly and his solid crew of players keep the frills to a minimum with their straightforward American rock sound. They are joined by the bluesy and boisterous August Sun. A bit heavier, but no less indebted to the FM classics, August Sun also hail from over the hill.
