This musical storm rocked the Big Room last winter, quickly earning an invite from us to bring its weather once again. A top-notch San Francisco band, New Monsoon was chosen to headline the New Year’s Eve extravaganza at the legendary Mill Valley club, Sweetwater Music Hall—an honor considering the numerous acts the venue could select. Close your eyes and think Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, and boot-stomping Southern Rock to arrive at New Monsoon; this will be a jam groove sure to get you out of your seat. New Monsoon has played marquee festivals like Bonnaroo, Wakarusa, Langerado, High Sierra, Telluride Bluegrass and Austin City Limits, among others. If you saw the group’s first Big Room appearance, we’ll see you there. If you didn’t, don’t make the same mistake twice.
