Dinner and a Show with Familiar Strangers and Tommy Thomsen at Rancho Nicasio
Date: Saturday, January 4, 2025
Time: Doors Open at 6:00pm and Show Starts at 7:30pm
The Familiar Strangers Trio/Quartet play an Americana grab bag of music from western swing to country, bluegrass, folk, blues and even a little bit of gypsy jazz! This band generates a big response from audiences with their friendly banter and responsiveness to requests from audience members. This is a band with a sense of humor that can easily move between material designed to get you up on your feet dancing or tugging at your heart to buy another beer and lose your sorrows. Their musical palette runs from Bob Wills to Doc Watson to Django Reinhardt and more. The band recently celebrated their first recorded project, Masqurade 2020, which is already garnering critical success.
Tommy Thomsen is a homegrown Sonoma County Musical legend, who put his own stamp on the Western Swing stylings of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. He grew up in the town of Sonoma, and made a name or himself playing local parties, weddings and festivals. His day gig was as a merchant marine that took him all around the world. He was inducted into the Western Swing Hall of Fame in 1995, and is the current owner of the Church of Western Swing in Turkey, Texas, the home of Bob Wills himself. Tommy will also be performing his favorite Blues, Cajun and Rock classics.
