Wine Garden Music Series
Tim Brady
Tim Brady is a singer/songwriter from the Monterey Bay area and leader of the locally award winning Santa Cruz band Cement Ship. The acoustic guitar style, singing tone and original songs from Tim seem to fit a wide array of crowds and genres, but maintains a natural and stripped down approach for the sound. Honest and raw, sweet and smoky, dynamic like the sea. The band’s namesake is taken from local landmark the SS Palo Alto, and the music has been described as ‘Americana Soul’ or ‘Beach Folk’.

Kris Angelis
Kris Angelis is a radiant new singer/songwriter living in the city that shares her name. The Los Angeles-based musician writes lyrics that read like poetry (“the rain turned to lace on the first day and the last day that I was a child”) and delivers harmonies imbued with a sense of longing. She names Brandi Carlile, Ray LaMontagne, Hanson, Rufus Wainwright, and David Gray as influences to her acoustic folk-rock sound but adds that everything in her life influences her music.

Rory Lynch
Rory Lynch is a singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer in Santa Cruz, CA. He migrated to the West Coast after a stint in NYC, headlining shows at venues like The Bitter End and Pianos. His decision to move inspired a new collection of songs showcasing classic genres like country, jazz, and pop while blending in traditional Americana themes. Rory’s smooth, deep croon harkens back to the first days of Country Folk and fits nicely next to modern artists like Orville Peck and Sturgill Simpson. Recently, he has been recording at Wind River Studios with plans to release his debut full-length album in Spring 2022.
