Boot Juice is a six-piece, high-energy rock 'n' roll / Americana act from Northern California, notorious for barn-burning live shows that get entire crowds on their feet dancing. That reputation was earned through recent performances at legendary venues like The Fillmore and Dillon Amphitheater, festival sets at Treefort, High Sierra, and Golden Road Gathering, and countless packed club shows across America during their many years on the road.
The group's fervently anticipated fourth album, Keeping Out of the Ground, exemplifies the tradition of kickass, eclectic American rock 'n' roll. With three vocalists, dueling acoustic and electric guitar shredding, a bawdy horn section, and driving, soulful rhythms, the album offers everything from groovy, danceable bangers ("Hard Time for Hard Times," "Slingshot," "Struggles") to heavy, show-stopping rock anthems ("Try Again Tomorrow," "Rise and Shine," "Boise"), and tender, swinging ballads ("Anywhere With You," "Love From Here," "Keeping Out of the Ground"). Throughout it all, the band sends a poignant message: despite everything going on in the world and the hopelessness creeping in around us, the best thing we can do is push through, keep ourselves out of the ground, keep showing up for ourselves and our neighbors, and forgive ourselves when we just need to try again tomorrow.
The sound of Wolf Jett will make you dance, sing… and possibly even howl!
Their all-original songs are an upbeat celebration, infusing folk, soul, and Americana into what they call "Cosmic Mountain Music." Co-founded by two lifelong friends and musical partners, Wolf Jett combines the southern-fried vocals of Tennessee-born frontman Chris Jones with Jon Payne's endlessly groovy drums. They currently perform with Duncan Shipton on bass, vocalist Allyson Makuch, electric guitarist Rory Cloud, and Alex Benjamin on keys and percussion.
