SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: TCDA and Lakeside Tahoe City will be serving beer and hotdogs on Sunday! Bring your ID and a few bucks cash to support our 2010 Pedal There Program!!
Sept. 6 (Labor Day) :: "Four time Grammy Nominee" - Marcia Ball - "The simple mention of a Louisiana or Texas roadhouse conjures up images of a crowded dancehall filled wall-to-wall with rabid music fans rocking to a hotter-than-hot band playing a smoldering blend of swampy R&B, jumping blues and heart-wrenching ballads. Pianist/vocalist/songwriter Marcia Ball brings that spirit to every concert she plays and every song she records. Her music is mixed with equal parts simmering soul fervor and two-fisted piano pounding. Between her deeply emotive vocals and her incisive, often poignant songwriting, Ball is in a class by herself."
