Achilles Wheel

This pre-Hallow’s Eve occasion marks exactly three years since Achilles Wheel has graced the Crazy Horse stage. Their last performance was one we’ll never forget as they played the show on generator power while Nevada City was in the throes of a blackout. A number of songs from that night will live on eternally as they were recorded on the band’s triple live album released in 2020.

There's a reason that fans keep riding the Achilles Wheel as it spins round and round in an evolving cycle of creativity. Their signature mix of effervescent jam-rock, Sierra blues, reggae, new-grass and psychedelic excursions is more potent than ever. Equipped with a vast repertoire of inspired originals along with classic covers, there are so many different pathways an Achilles Wheel show can explore. It's rare to find bands that pack such a punch with meaningful song writing, vocal resonance and adventurous jam swagger. It also doesn't hurt to have one of the best guitarists in the west - Jonny "Mojo" Flores - on your team. This formula amounts to some potent musical medicine. Their connection with the Crazy Horse runs deep and you can always count on the band breaking new ground here.
