Izabella December 30, 2010

Izabella is gearing up for two nights of high-energy rock and soul grooves. The talented drummer, Lucas Carleton is currently on the road with Hot Buttered Rum but will return to Izabella in the New Year. This is sure to be special shows with the exuberant Brian Rogers on drums fulltime.

Izabella has been an area mainstay since their inception. Over the last 5 years the band has grown tremendously, evident in their evolved live performances. No longer a blooming band, Izabella has truly blossomed, gaining the respect of West Coast musicians and critics alike. Their fluid blending of rock-inspired guitar and soul-driven keys breathes new life into both genres "Izabella is a continually evolving Northern California unit that oozes positivity anchored to serious chops and strong songwriting. Archetypically 'jam band' in nature, they encompass soul, rock, pop, and jazz as if all lived happily in one big bed." -Jambase

Izabella has performed well over 250 gigs, including some key performances at summer festivals: High Sierra, 4 Peaks, Las Tortugas, Summer Meltdown, Oregon County Fair, and Bobolink. This solid tour schedule combined with an elevated level of stage and light production has helped Izabella garner various accolades, including the http://Jambands.com title, "New Groove of the Month" back in August 2008. In 2009, Izabella was nominated for the SAMIEs (Sacramento Area Music Awards) and won Best of Sacramento, Editors' Pick for Sacramento magazine.
