Strange Brew came to life in 1997 and hit the ground running with a compelling combination of music genres. They’ve dazzled party goers in the Northern California East Bay for the past 25+ years with a vast array of styles that include Rick James, Bruno Mars, Earth, Wind & Fire, AC/DC, Metallica, Queen, and more.  Originally a four piece, the addition of female vocalist, saxophonist, guitarist, Shea Arnaudon in 2011, opened up new possibilities. Throw in some Heart, Lizzo, Adele & Lady GaGa, and you have quite a diverse group that will take you on a tour from a rhythmic funk tune, to a hook filled pop song, to a hard and heavy rock beat. Most members are multi-instrumentalists. Each has spent their lives saturated in music since childhood and their list of influences is reflected in the song selection. They have shared the stage with Aerosmith's Stephen Tyler, and even performed at his daughter's wedding. Rap duo N2Deep joined them onstage to perform their 1992 hit, "Back to the Hotel". Strange Brew’s substance, style and spirit on stage keeps the crowd pumped and energetic from beginning to end. Weddings, clubs, reunions, private parties...You name it. This rock solid quintet brings a ground shaking good time to any event, and you will leave wanting more!
