Willamette Wineworks continues its ongoing live music series this Saturday with two different artists performing starting in the afternoon and continuing into the evening hours. First, it’s Geoffrey Miller sharing his country talents, following by the music of Seth Grauer at the Historic Folsom tasting room venue.

Geoffrey Miller is a foremost artist of west coast country and western music, with an original song catalogue steeped in the sounds of Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Dwight Yoakam, as well as Ray Price and George Jones.

According to his career bio, Miller has released two albums, All Night Honky Tonk Man and Leavin’ 101, which have reached the top of the Alternate Country chart for radio play.  Coming from a musical family and a Northern California music scene where brushing elbows with the likes Bud Duncan, Bobby Black, Biff Adam, Doug Colosio, and Jimmy Bauchman is commonplace and where Miller was preordained to be a country artist.  

Geoffrey Miller performs at Willamette Wineworks Saturday afternoon starting at 2:30.

Wielding a Parsons-White B-bender-equipped Fender Telecaster, and with a sandy baritone voice, Miller delivers a unique and regional take on an unmistakably classic sound.  Family history and personal stories are channeled into danceable shuffles, fast train beats, and crooning ballads of Miller’s original songs, while select interpretations of country favorites please audiences and convey a deep connection to a musical heritage.

Miller will be performing Saturday afternoon at Willamette Wineworks, during the same time as Historic Folsom’s Sip and Stroll. He will be performing from 2:30 until 5:30 p.m before Grauer takes the stage at 6:00 p.m.

Grauer, a native of nearby Auburn, is performing solo Saturday from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. Graur is well known as a member of the band Brotherly Love that was formed in 2018.

Grauer’s sound is a lively strand of string-heavy Americana, tracing narratives of departures and homecomings, loves and addictions, and the retreat from urban entanglements to the re-imagining of a more natural life.
