Natalie Wattre

Over a seven-year run, the Extinct created an impact on the music industry, grew a local fan base of over 700, released an Independent album, and toured the U.S. and Canada with Natalie fronting the band as one of its two primary singer/songwriters.
Adrian Galysh @ Tasting Room
Adrian Galysh is an international recording artist who has released six electric guitar-centric solo albums in the blues and progressive rock genres. Regularly seen in publications like Guitar Player, Guitar World, Powerplay (UK), Fireworks (UK), Todo Guitarra Y Bajo (Argentina), Blues Matters, and even Modern Drummer, Galysh became a go-to guitarist for live and session work in Los Angeles.
Critically acclaimed west coast guitar player and session musician has made a name for himself in the most prominent guitar circles, mostly for his tasteful, melodic instrumental songwriting style. Rock guitarist Adrian Galysh’s most recent release VENUSION SUNRISE: 20th Anniversary Edition revisits his debut record, featuring completely re-recorded versions of all nine tracks, the remastered original 1998 album, and two bonus live recordings. While Galysh performed and produced a majority of the music himself at his home studio in Los Angeles, CA, the new recordings also feature Glen Sobel (Alice Cooper) on drums, and special guest Stuart Hamm (Satriani, Vai) on bass for two tracks.
“Venusian Sunrise was recorded in my parents' basement on a single Alesis 8-track ADAT recorder," Galysh said. "While the performances were the best I could do with limited resources at the age of 22—it lacks the richer guitar tones, huge advances in recording technology and realistic orchestral sounds of today, but most importantly, it lacks real drums!” “The new version of Venusian Sunrise will be performed and recorded the way I wished could have done back then," Galysh adds, "but with the tools and know how that didn’t exist at the time." Los Angeles-based guitarist Adrian Galysh is an in-demand solo artist, session guitarist, published author, and educator with an illustrious career spanning five studio albums.
Now residing in Solvang, CA. Galysh performs fun 'acoustified' versions of classic rock and country songs audiences love to sing along with, as well as classic jazz and pop standards.
Jared Nels @ Tasting Room
Jared Nels was born in Des Moines, Iowa on July 29th, 1993. He started playing guitar as soon as he was big enough to hold one, and began singing in a local children's chorus at a very young age. By his early teens, he was already playing Eddie Van Halen and Pantera on guitar, and had worked his way into the top level choir in the Iowa Youth Chorus program. In High School, he was a 3 year All State Chorus singer, had traveled and performed in front of 100's people with the Urbandale Studio show choir, and had written numerous songs on guitar which he still performs to this day. In his early twenties, Jared discovered his natural ability to yodel. He won the Iowa State Fair yodeling contest multiple times and was featured live on KCCI news, Iowa's largest news corporation. He learned how to sing and play guitar simultaneously, and performed at open mics in his college town of Ames, Iowa. After finishing engineering school in 2018 at the age of 25, Jared moved to Santa Barbara, California where his music career would begin to take its course. In 2020, he yodeled his way onto American Idol, where his audition for the celebrity judges was aired on season 18, episode 3. For the last 5 years, while working at various engineering companies and local farms, Jared has performed all around Santa Barbara and the Central / Southern California area at various venues and events. He is known for his powerful vocals, quick and elegant guitar playing, and unique incorporation of yodeling into various genres. In late 2023, he decided to pursue music full time and put his passion to full practice. Jared is currently working on his first album and spreading his musical act as far wide as he can!

Jared Nels @ Tasting Room
Jared Nels was born in Des Moines, Iowa on July 29th, 1993. He started playing guitar as soon as he was big enough to hold one, and began singing in a local children's chorus at a very young age. By his early teens, he was already playing Eddie Van Halen and Pantera on guitar, and had worked his way into the top level choir in the Iowa Youth Chorus program. In High School, he was a 3 year All State Chorus singer, had traveled and performed in front of 100's people with the Urbandale Studio show choir, and had written numerous songs on guitar which he still performs to this day. In his early twenties, Jared discovered his natural ability to yodel. He won the Iowa State Fair yodeling contest multiple times and was featured live on KCCI news, Iowa's largest news corporation. He learned how to sing and play guitar simultaneously, and performed at open mics in his college town of Ames, Iowa. After finishing engineering school in 2018 at the age of 25, Jared moved to Santa Barbara, California where his music career would begin to take its course. In 2020, he yodeled his way onto American Idol, where his audition for the celebrity judges was aired on season 18, episode 3. For the last 5 years, while working at various engineering companies and local farms, Jared has performed all around Santa Barbara and the Central / Southern California area at various venues and events. He is known for his powerful vocals, quick and elegant guitar playing, and unique incorporation of yodeling into various genres. In late 2023, he decided to pursue music full time and put his passion to full practice. Jared is currently working on his first album and spreading his musical act as far wide as he can!

Member Pick Up Party - A Very Special Italian Feast
Brasato Misto — A Very Special Italian Feast
Come be Italian for the day while enjoying Steve Cliftons newest releases…
Join us for a soulful, slow-cooked celebration inspired by the great braises of Northern Italy. Brasato Misto—literally “mixed braise”—is a classic communal dish meant to be shared, lingered over, and enjoyed with good wine and even better company.
Multiple cuts of meat are gently braised for hours in Vega Vineyard wine, aromatics, and herbs until impossibly tender, then presented over creamy polenta, soaking up every drop of the rich, velvety sauce.
This is comfort food elevated—rustic, elegant, and deeply satisfying.
Served across the table and meant to be grazed, Brasato Misto is less about formality and more about connection: long conversations, amazing wines, and the unmistakable feeling of sitting down to a meal in the Italian countryside. After enjoy a treat prepared by Chef Christopher Rossi
Slow food. Shared tables. Italian soul.
