Tracy and the Blues Makers

Saturdays from 6 pm to 10 pm.

Almost six decades in music has brought me to this point. Having fun and playing blues at this beautiful place. From my first recordings to playing live I've always looked forward to what's next. The groups we've put together for these blues nights are all slightly different. Rooted in American blues "the only kind" from Delta to Kansas City to Chicago blues and New Orleans, it don't matter! To keep our sound true to the blues it's based on the blues. Hats off to Bistango and Bayside Restaurant for making this happen and all the players for everything.

Dylan Wager

Sunday Brunch from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm

Dylan is a songwriter, guitar player, singer, and recording artist. His acoustic and pop rock style is influenced by artists such as John Mayer, The 1975, Cory Wong, Lawrence, and Boy Pablo. His lyrical and musical style blend a young man's angst with mature songwriting. Dylan's catchy melodies are supported by his dynamic vocal style. His songs range from a chill and easygoing feel to high-spirited and driving beats.

Dylan is an engaging performer whether he's with his backing band behind him, or with just a microphone and guitar. His rhythm and lead guitar work on stage presents him as a musician who stands with the most capable of players, and his impressive vocal work shows he is just as proficient on stage as he is in the studio.

Growing up in a musical family, Dylan took interest in singing and playing guitar at a young age. As he grew, he jammed with friends and family, played in numerous bands, and performed frequently. In March of 2018, Dylan wrote, recorded, and released his first song, "Shades of Me", which can be found on his brand new 2019 Album, Say It.
