Cuesta Ridge is a band born in the sweet confines of the Santa Lucia Mountains, on
 California’s central coast. This five-piece, bluegrass-injected
 conglomerate has been together for over four years, but
 their experience in the local music scene is broad. With
 members also playing in variety of other local bands such as
 Resination, Hip Deep, Tripledub, Stank Finatra, Ouroboros,
 Fused, Moon Cabbage and Goza, their SLO roots sustain
 consistent growth.

     A standard Cuesta Ridge show includes a variety of flavor and there is always something new for the die-hard fans. Constantly writing new originals, this talented bunch also likes to challenge themselves with fresh covers at each gathering. The band's upbeat nature attracts movers and shakers while their sophistication corrals musicologists and aficionados.  

    Previous venues include the Live Oak Music Festival, Morro Bay Harbor Festival, Downtown Brew, California Mid State Fair, SLO Concerts in the Plaza, Mother's Tavern and Stone Soup Music Faire to name just a few. Influences range from Django Rheinhardt, Bill Monroe and David Grisman all the way to Bob Marley, Janes Addiction and Motorhead. The band also has a live CD now available for purchase at shows or at www.cdbaby.com/cuestaridge.

    The all-acoustic, Cuesta Ridge includes Toan Chau (guitar/vocals),
Patrick Pearson (guitar/vocals), Dan Keller (mandolin/vocals),
Brent Vander Weide (percussion/vocals) and Matt Reeder (upright bass).
Have a listen. I reckon you'll be back for more!
