The Birk Welcomes Achilles Wheel – May 16th

Achilles Wheel - press photoAchilles Wheel is a high energy roots and world music band that mixes rock and blues into its style. Hailing from Northern California, the band members play numerous stringed instruments and more drums than you can shake a stick at. With the release of their second album, Stones To Sand, the band has broken out from their California roots to find themselves on stages throughout the United States and enjoying radio play in Europe. Of course they are foster children of the Grateful Dead, but what makes them unique is the laid back nonchalance and how they perform their songs! Achilles Wheel celebrates musical ideas that other bands explore for mere seconds by taking their music apart note by note and then putting it back together. This is beautiful, old school country jam rock, which almost nobody else plays anymore nowadays! The fiery epicenter of Achilles Wheel’s sound is Jonny Mojo on lead guitar and vocals, surrounded by Paul Kamm and Shelby Snow on rhythm, bass and vocals, and Gary Campus and Mark McCartney on drums and vocals.

This up-and-coming band will be playing at The Birk on Saturday, May 16. Doors open at 5:30 pm, showtime is 7:00 pm. Tickets are $17.00 – $20.00. The Birk is located at 11139 Hwy 202, Birkenfeld, Oregon. Please call 503-755-2722 for further information.
