We caught Mitch Woods at the Half Moon Bay Brewing Co. on Father's Day. The HMB Brewing Co. is a great place for boomers to hear music. On Friday and Saturday nights they have live music that starts at 7PM. On Sundays the music starts at 5PM! Holy Crap! You can get a bite to eat and dance to 3 sets and be home by 9:30. Sweaty. Exhausted. Happy.
Mitch Woods is one of the top dance bands...anywhere. From the first number of the first set he lays down nothing but solid, dance tunes, one after another. Boogie-woogie, swing, and blues, with a side order of zydeco. From the crowd on the dance floor, I would say he mixed it up "right nice." The band just released a new CD named "Gumbo Blues" so the night was like a visit to New Orleans without the drunken college students, humidity, and crowds of tourists.
The crowd ate it up. The "crowd" was mostly in their 50s and 60's with a friendly mix of younger and older folks. The brewing company is not about dressing to impress and drinking premium liquor. It has a real "locals" feel and is as unpretentious as they get, Although the "big easy" infused music of Mitch Woods and band were a little something special for Father's Day, all the bands at the brewing co. seem to know how to cater to a boomer audience.
You owe it to yourself to take a short run down to Princeton by the Sea. Have a seat around one of the braziers on the patio. Meet some nice people while sitting around the fire sipping a signature IPA made in-house by the Half Moon Bay Brew Co. When the music starts you don't have to worry about losing your spot/seat.
