San Francisco pickers, Trouble Town boils a hot pot of folk, bluegrass, swing, jazz and rock into a rebel blend of music with a big acoustic sound. The band’s musical chemistry and diverse influences have allowed them to pull from a deep musical well to make a special stew all their own.
Trouble Town is led by Western Swing Hall of Famer Pam Brandon (AKA Belle, of Belle Monroe and Her Brewglass Boys) on bass and vocals, with Forrest Allen (Dusty Green Bones Band, Deep Thicket Dwellers) on fiddle, mandolin and vocals, and Iggy (Burl Haggard, Boots and The Katz, Das Tapes) on guitar and vocals.
Formed in 2019, Trouble Town worked through the next two years of the pandemic by performing outdoors in parks and driveways to the delight of music-starved onlookers. Ever since, they’ve been honing their sound and building a loyal fan base in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, playing shows in local clubs and California festivals.
Their high energy shows are characterized by hot solos, deep pocket rhythms and Pam’s vocals, which have been described as anywhere from sultry to field holler. Originals bump shoulders with reimagined traditional songs and choice alt-genre covers, a blend that keeps everyone guessing where the set will go next. Welcome to Trouble Town!
Sin & Celebration at Bird & Beckett
the second Sunday of every month from 5-7pm.
BYOB and a twenty for the band!
