Boot Juice with Cartoon Moon

Boot Juice with Cartoon Moon

The evolution of Boot Juice has been a magnificent phenomenon to behold. Over the past few years, this seven-piece band from Davis has done things the old-fashioned way. They’ve earned it all with blood, sweat, and tears shed on stages throughout the region. And it’s been more sweat than blood, based on the practically inhuman level of energy they generate throughout the course of their relentless performances.

Boot Juice defies the typical assumption that a big band with horns is sticking to the well-worn path of funk and jazz. They certainly infuse those genres into the mix. More than anything though, this is an unabashed cosmic rock band intent on taking audiences into an alternate dimension of pure freedom and dance euphoria where the outside world ceases to exist.

If you haven’t yet seen Cartoon Moon, we want to know why tf not!!! A local supergroup to behold, Cartoon Moon is not to be missed. You’ve been warned.

Diggin Dirt

What better way to spend Halloween than a scary amount of crazy good music from Diggin Dirt at Lost on Main??!!??

From behind the redwood curtain of Humboldt County, California, the seven piece funk-soul band Diggin Dirt has carved out a niche as a live party not to be missed. Shoveling their own path, Diggin Dirt has seen sustained growth over the past few years, with multiple national tours and festival stops at Jam Cruise, High Sierra, Same Same but Different, Live Oak, Cascade Equinox, Joshua Tree Music Festival and many more.

Per a 2024 Jam Cruise writer, “This was the soul music I grew up with in the ‘60s and ‘70s, but I confess I wasn’t expecting [Diggin Dirt] to be throwing it down this hard. This group is impossibly tight, and Zach Alder might be the best soul shouter I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard a few.”
