Emerald City, with Special Guest Dead in Spain

Emerald City: Back in the 80’s, a newly formed rock band debuted at the legendary Oasis Ballroom. The band was Emerald City, who went on to become one of Sacramento’s most iconic original rock bands. In addition to packing clubs in Northern California, the band has supported such acts as Johnny and Edgar Winter, Blue Oyster Cult, Michael Schenker, Ace Frehley and more. These days, the band occasionally reunites and have not lost a step. Featuring the dynamic guitar duo of Dean LaRosa and Billy Haggard, pounding rhythm section of Shane Maes (drums) and Todd Prout (bass), and the powerful vocals of the ever charismatic Steve “Goody” Goodrich, this band will not disappoint.

Dead in Spain was formed in 1992 by Managers Jeff Welborn and Cliff Davis, as an all-original rock band. When they lost thier original singer and guitarist Jeff and Cliff recruited longtime friends Christopher (Duranimal) Duran and Craig (Boomer) Boom who had established themselves with the band White Raven, a popular cover band from Sacramento. With this new lineup in place they immediately went into the recording studio to record the first Dead In Spain demo. Constantly writing and learning cover tunes to compete in the Northern California cover market as well as doing all original shows. Dead In Spain has been delivering a mixture of heavy metal originals with hard rock and heavy metal covers for the last 30 years. With thier recent release “Millenium” available on Spotify, Dead In Spain's Christopher Duran, Craig Boom, Randal Mercado, James Smith and David Bass find themselves in familiar waters back onstage and bringing that “Commercial Metal Sound” to a new generation of fans.
