Mellow Yellow will take you on a trip (back in time) when it appears at the Lincoln Peak Vineyards’ week-ending “Wine Down” this Friday, July 6, 6-8 p.m. The electric quartet pays tribute to the ’60s and ’70s with extraordinarily authentic renditions of some of the genre’s greatest songs. They don’t just play the music, Mellow Yellow captures the essence and vibe of the songs that helped define a decade.
With fanatic attention to detail, the members of Mellow Yellow get right inside the songs they perform. Since 2013 the group has been playing on annual cruises with the Moody Blues and many of the biggest bands from the that era.
The band lineup includes Brad DaddyO (David Cooper) on vocals and “Mellowyellowtron”; Dusty Love (Linda Bassick) on vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, flute, and trombone; Ellis Dee (Bill Mullins) on guitars and vocals; Apollonius “Flip” Funk (Brad Sourdiffe) on bass; and Franco Sunshine (Frank Zameillo) on drums.
The vineyard opens at 5:30 for picnicking. Delicious hot food available from The Antidote, and wine by the glass. Admission is free. Bring lawn chairs or a picnic blanket. More information at lincolnpeakvineyard.com/event.
