When the Led Breaks and Radio Relapse launch Friday before Two20 and Y2K Live take over Saturday; AC Myles and Sl@mJam fill Sunday in Historic Folsom
Led Zeppelin classics, a heavy dose of ’90s rock, a trip back to the early 2000s and a Sunday that stretches from blues guitar into an open-mic jam are all on the schedule as Powerhouse Pub packs six shows into the final weekend of September in Historic Folsom. The lineup covers plenty of musical ground over three days, beginning with classic rock Friday evening and wrapping up with local musicians taking over the stage Sunday night.
The weekend gets underway Friday, Sept. 25, with When the Led Breaks bringing its salute to Led Zeppelin to the TGIF Early Show at 6:30 p.m. Radio Relapse follows at 10 p.m. with a set devoted to the music of the 1990s, setting up a Friday that moves from one of classic rock’s biggest catalogs into the alternative, grunge and rock sounds of the following generation.
Saturday, Sept. 26, keeps that timeline moving forward. Two20 brings ’90s and modern rock to the Saturday Afternoon Dance Party from 3 to 6 p.m., followed at 10 p.m. by Y2K Live, the 2000s-themed production from Adam Aldama & The Aces that turns the clock back to the era of boy bands, pop princesses, hip-hop and turn-of-the-century dance hits.
Sunday, Sept. 27, brings two more shows to the Sutter Street venue. Guitarist and vocalist AC Myles headlines Powerhouse of Blues from 3 to 6 p.m., before Powerhouse closes the weekend with its monthly Sl@mJam beginning at 7 p.m., featuring Side Peace followed by an open-mic session for local musicians and vocalists.
When the Led Breaks bring Friday’s early show before Radio Relapse
Friday starts with some of the most recognizable riffs in rock history as When the Led Breaks takes the stage at 6:30 p.m. for the TGIF Early Show. The four-member tribute is built around the music of Led Zeppelin, with the musicians describing themselves as longtime fans of the band and its catalog.
Rather than concentrating on one period, When the Led Breaks reaches across Zeppelin’s career, from the urgency of early material such as “Communication Breakdown” to the sprawling sound of later classics such as “Kashmir.” The band’s approach emphasizes the energy of Zeppelin’s live performances while also drawing from the sounds heard on the original studio recordings and live bootlegs.
When the Led Breaks performs from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., but Friday’s trip through rock history doesn’t stop there. At 10 p.m., Radio Relapse takes over with a very different soundtrack and moves the night squarely into the 1990s.
Based in Chico, Radio Relapse has more than a decade of experience performing a catalog that reaches across the alternative rock, grunge, punk and heavier sounds that dominated much of the decade. The group’s song list reads like a tour through ’90s rock radio and MTV, with material associated with Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Green Day, The Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, Rage Against the Machine, Stone Temple Pilots, Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Bush, Alice in Chains, Red Hot Chili Peppers and others.
The band also ventures outside straight-ahead rock, incorporating songs associated with acts including 311, Beastie Boys, House of Pain and Sublime. That variety gives Radio Relapse plenty of room to move between the different sounds that shared radio playlists during the decade.
Radio Relapse describes its performances as high-energy shows built to get audiences onto the dance floor, with humor mixed into the presentation along the way. The band takes the Powerhouse stage at 10 p.m. and carries Friday’s entertainment into the late-night hours.
Two20 rocks the afternoon before Y2K Live turns back the clock
Saturday starts at 3 p.m. with Two20 taking over the Saturday Afternoon Dance Party. The band brings a combination of ’90s and modern rock to the daytime stage, performing through 6 p.m.
That afternoon show provides a bridge between Friday night’s ’90s-heavy finish and what comes later Saturday. At 10 p.m., the musical calendar flips forward as Y2K Live takes Powerhouse back to the songs and pop culture of the early 2000s.
Y2K Live is one of several themed productions created by Adam Aldama & The Aces, the Sacramento-area five-piece known for building full shows around particular artists and musical eras. The group’s other productions include The Red Corvettes celebrating Prince, 2Bad devoted to Michael Jackson, Finesse featuring the music of Bruno Mars and Night Fever centered on disco.
For Y2K Live, the focus is the music that defined the turn of the millennium and the years that followed. The show reaches into the period when boy bands and pop stars shared the charts with a rapidly expanding mainstream hip-hop scene and pop-punk was becoming another defining sound of the era.
The Aces feature Adam Aldama and Veronica Ballejos on vocals, Brett Sackett on lead guitar, Keywan Ryland on drums and Jimmy O’Shea on bass. Their performances combine live musicianship with vocals, choreography and a stage presentation built around the particular theme of each production.
Y2K Live begins at 10 p.m., giving Saturday a musical progression from Two20’s afternoon mix of ’90s and modern rock into an evening devoted to the hits and nostalgia of the 2000s. Together, the two shows give Saturday a soundtrack stretching across two neighboring eras of popular music.
AC Myles brings blues-rock guitar to Sunday afternoon
Sunday afternoon changes gears when AC Myles returns to Historic Folsom for the latest installment of Powerhouse of Blues. The guitarist, vocalist and songwriter takes the stage at 3 p.m. for a three-hour afternoon show.
Originally from California’s Central Valley, Myles built much of his career the traditional way — playing live. His early years included extensive touring with his own band before his career took him into the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles music scenes and eventually onto stages across the United States and internationally.
Myles’ music reaches beyond a narrow definition of blues. His recordings and performances draw from electric blues and blues-rock while incorporating southern rock, soul, melodic rock and other influences, with guitar remaining at the center of the sound.
His recorded work includes “Reconsider Me,” “Rush to Red,” “With These Blues” and “Transitory,” along with instrumental projects that further showcase his guitar work. Songs across those releases illustrate a musician comfortable moving from blues-based guitar and slide work into more contemporary rock and songwriting.
Myles has also performed at venues and festivals in the United States and Europe during his career, while sharing stages with artists including Buddy Guy, Elvin Bishop and the Zac Brown Band. His Powerhouse appearance comes amid an active 2026 schedule that continues to take him to venues throughout California.
AC Myles performs from 3 to 6 p.m. Sunday as part of Powerhouse of Blues. The afternoon performance gives blues fans the first half of a Sunday doubleheader before Powerhouse opens the stage to area musicians later that evening.
Sl@mJam gives local musicians the final word Sunday
Powerhouse isn’t finished when the afternoon blues show wraps up. Sunday night shifts the stage from a touring blues performer to local musicians as the venue hosts its monthly Sl@mJam beginning at 7 p.m.
This month’s event opens with Side Peace, a four-piece band making its Powerhouse debut. The group performs beginning at 7 p.m. before the evening transitions into the open-mic portion of the event.
Instrumentalists and vocalists are invited to participate, with sign-ups beginning at 6:30 p.m. The jam is designed to give area musicians a chance to perform, meet other players and get stage experience in front of a live audience.
Sl@mJam continues until 11 p.m. and admission is free. Like the rest of Powerhouse’s weekend programming, the event is for ages 21 and over.
Together, the six shows give this weekend a trip through several generations of popular music. Friday travels from Led Zeppelin into the alternative and grunge-heavy 1990s, Saturday moves from ’90s and modern rock into the Y2K era, and Sunday finishes with contemporary blues-rock before handing the stage over to local musicians.
Powerhouse Pub is located at 614 Sutter St. in Historic Folsom. When the Led Breaks starts Friday at 6:30 p.m., followed by Radio Relapse at 10 p.m.; Two20 performs Saturday from 3 to 6 p.m., followed by Y2K Live at 10 p.m.; and AC Myles performs Sunday from 3 to 6 p.m., with Sl@mJam beginning at 7 p.m.
All shows are for ages 21 and over. Tickets, VIP reservations and additional event information are available at PowerhousePub.com.
