Eight Gigs: Blue Oaks

Blue Oaks’ guitarist and vocalist Brendan Stone has officially moved back to Sacramento after a stint in Austin, Texas and will join drummer Cody Walker to perform new songs and familiar tunes from their 7-inch single, “Hit By a Train from New York City Blues” and its B side, “Skeleton Key.” The folksy-blues duo will perform follow the Deschutes Beard & Mustache Competition in honor of Sacramento Beer Week. Blue Oaks will release a full-length album this summer and continue to work meticulously to capture that old-school analog authenticity. 1910 Q Street, www.facebook.com/blueoaksmusic.
