Tim High, Jonny Mojo & The Mighty Sing the Songs of '69

If you know anything about us at the Crazy Horse, you know that we’re all about establishing and carrying on traditions. We especially love it when those traditions include celebrating one of the most cherished members of our team. The passion Tim High brings to his role of achieving some of the best small venue sound in the country is nothing short of remarkable. Touring artists frequently marvel upon our sound. Tim never is one to rest on his laurels; constantly striving to improve the experience here for bands and audience members alike.

While Tim enjoys running sound, most of you know by now that singing, playing guitar and leading a band are by far his favorite pursuits. Every Third Thursday you can see him here, belting out a wide array of Dead and Jerry tunes with Band Beyond Description. His Truckee-based band – Tim High & the Mighty – has been gaining more recognition with their unabashed, classic rock stylings. They bring audiences of all ages together in their appreciation for the songs that make up the fabric of our very existence. The proof is in the pudding as they just came away as the winner of the annual Chicken Wings and Guitar Strings band competition in Palisades for the second year in a row!

Tim’s birthday falls smack dab on Halloween and we are honored to give him the stage on this occasion. Tim puts his heart and soul into constructing a very special night of music to appeal to the masses. Part of the tradition with these birthday gigs is Tim selecting a year and playing many of the best songs released in that year. On this occasion the band will be harvesting the fruit from the very fertile year of 1969. A few of the possibilities include the first two albums from Led Zeppelin, Let it Bleed by The Rolling Stones, The Beatles’ Abbey Road, The Who’s Tommy and CSNY’s first album.

In addition to the regular members of The Mighty which are John “Morty” Morton on thunderous bass and Tim Stiletto (yes, that’s his real name) on fiery drums, Tim has invited a few of his most talented friends to round out the lineup. The ginger Viking pirate himself, Jonny Mr. Mojo Rising (Achilles Wheel, Band Beyond Description), will be swashbuckling through the mix with revelational, life-altering guitar licks around every curve. Stay tuned to learn about the other guests. We know Halloween is an action-packed holiday in Nevada City, but for hardcore live music fans who appreciate the historical relevance of one of rock ‘n roll’s most prolific years, there’s no other place you would want to be.
