Clawing his way to fame, G-Eazy (or Young Gerald) hit number one this year with his chart-topping album, It’s Dark Out. Born in Oakland, G-Eazy created a name for himself in the East Bay rap scene and put together local group Bay Boyz, who released a number of songs via their Myspace page. Go ahead and mellow out to I Mean It off of his record-breaking first album.

New York-bred and Oakland-raised, Merrill Garbus takes her audiences on a sensual experience. Garbus creates drum loops on the spot, and layers them with badass ukulele and vocals, in addition to the electric bass vibes played by partner Nate Brenner. Their most recent, Nikki Nack, hit stands in early May 2014, and we’re still dancing along to every track.

With the sweet, melodic twangs of her guitar, Nicki Bluhm fills our Sundays brunches with wonder and beautiful songs. A singer, musician, and songwriter from Lafayette, Nicki has performed with The Gramblers since 2008, and with a country music cover band developed by Tim Bluhm (of The Mother Hips ) and members of ALO.
