They’re Called “Winebrew”…and if they had a better video, I’d post it, because this one does them no justice. Here’s the deal, folks: They’re a band very rooted in classic rock. There’s some not-so-subtle influences from all the greats, though they pride themselves on their infusions of the Stones, Floyd, and Cream. They’re from the same little hamlet in Southern California that I find myself presently residing in (Temecula), and when this was shot, some harmonica player had just jumped up with them and started play…totally out of the blue. It wasn’t anything they rehearsed, and I believe that would speak for itself. But I find something more respectable about them. They are giggin’ musicians (by that, what I mean is they aren’t asking for instant stardom. No TV show or Battle of the Bands, just hard work, small crowds, and venues that were never built for music). But, there’s something more to them. I wouldn’t believe it had I not seen them myself, for they certainly don’t sound it, but they’re just boys. They age 17, 15, and 12 respectively, and they are already a magnificent throwback to rock ‘n’ roll days of yore. I suppose you’re never too young to rock, eh?
