Stacey Vreeken Special to the Mountain Democrat

T

he Green Room Social Club in downtownPlacerville hosts live music this weekend with Rosy Nolan and David Newbould taking the Stage Friday and Zach Waters Band performing Saturday.

Nolan has an old-time country string band reminiscent of The Carter Family, Hazel Dickens and Lucinda Williams. She plays at the Green Room at 7 p.m.

A traditional instrumentation and high lonesome harmonies mixed with Nolan’s confessional and tongue-in-cheek songwriting steals folks’ attention and keeps them there. People are taken with the honesty and una ected vulnerability of her stage performances. Audiences range from tattooed-biker dads to Cajun Louisianan transplants to cowgirls looking to cut a rug.

Newbould’s voice embodies that high lonesome state of being, evoking winds that blow through valleys of fear and over plains of wistful peace. His songs have been featured in network TV shows and films and his seven o cial releases have received enthusiastic critical acclaim, as well as spots on charts.

The Zach Waters Band is a rock/blues band from Sacramento taking inspiration from classic artists such as Jimi Hendrix, ACDC, Led Zeppelin and more. The band plays at 8 p.m.

This power trio consists of drummer Steve Pires, bassist Grayson Roberts and guitarist/vocalist Zach Waters, who puts his own twist on the classic rock, blues-driven genre.

“I want to not only create music that directly reflects who we are, I want to explore the music that foreshadows who we will become,” he said.

The Green Room Social Club is located at 251 Main St., Placerville. For tickets and more information visit tickets. clubgreenroom.com.

The visually impressive exhibit will showcase four paintings by Anna Judah and enlargements of her flower pressings, in addition to photographs and images from Judah’s life.

The speakers will share their passion for history, storytelling, design and the legacy of Anna Judah.
