Hot Buttered Rum
The Miners Foundry Cultural Center and Outside Inn have teamed up to offer a Midweek Getaway to two lucky music lovers. Who wants to see Hot Buttered Rum and the Achilles Wheel Trio? Leave a comment below about what you love most about the Miners Foundry below and be entered to win 2 tickets to the Wednesday, April 20th show, plus a one-night stay at the Outside Inn.
With musical influences ranging from blues, rock, and jazz to Celtic and old-time string band music from the Appalachians, the Bay Area’s Hot Buttered Rum (HBR) could almost be termed bluegrass fusion. The band members themselves call it “high altitude California bluegrass.”
They’ve graced the most prestigious pop, folk, and bluegrass stages in the country including Telluride, Newport, Bonnaroo, Strawberry, Hardly Strictly, Kate Wolf, Horning’s Hideout, Merlefest and High Sierra, among others, and now HBR will perform at the Miners Foundry Cultural Center on Wednesday, April 20th, doors open at 8pm.
Opening the show is The Achilles Wheel Trio featuring Paul Kamm, Shelby Snow, and Jonny Mojo, singer/songwriters and front men of the Northern California Roots and World music/Rock and Roll jam band, Achilles Wheel. As a trio they bring the same high energy and engaging stage presence to a quieter place, combining a bit of Country and Bluegrass to the band’s famously hard-driving sound.
Winner will be announced on Monday, April 18th, gift certificate for Outside Inn valid on Wednesday, April 20th only. *Edited to say the winner is Ronda Cowan.

What a beautiful night this would be! I know exactly who I would want to dance the night away with!
Bluegrass is one of my favorite genres. I’ll see if we can go regardless. 🙂
I have only become aware of the Foundry 3years and have been blessed to have enjoyed a diverse and creativeness beyond my expectation! I also would love to celebrate my birthday4/20 listening to my favorite bands. And dear friend Jonny(mojo) Flores . I’ve recently finished my 5th time at rounds of chemo, so haven’t been able to go to thier other shows. So can’t think of more beautiful venue, kind staff and GreatMusic!!! So I would be eternally Grateful.
We love The Miners Foundry. They have awesome cocerts, wine tasting events and Beautiful Weddings. It’s all a part of Beautiful Nevada City.
Sparky Sez ” Miners Foundry Rocks !! “
I love the fact that the Miners Foundry is an historic building and It is fun to stroll around between sets
I haven’t seen either of these two groups, so it might be fun.
I love that the Miner’s Foundry makes great events (WSFF, crafts shows, concerts, etc) available to our little community!
Love the ambience of the foundry all the rooms offer a unique feel perfect for a wedding, concert, art show and etc
Ive been going to events at The Miners Foundry since the AVM days and KVMR’s residence in the building. Loved it then love it now !! Many thanks to the great staff there.
As a relative newbie to the area ( 3 years ), I have regularly found the Miners Foundry to the be the hub, the heartbeat, the epicenter, to all things cultural in the area. From the music, to the theme-rich fairs, to the education and events regarding local causes and history, the Miners Foundry is where IT”S at. I love living here and participating in local events.
My dancin’ shoes are ready!
All kinds of awesome things happen in that place from Psychic fairs to incredible music. What a great place.
I love The Miners Foundry Center, every event I have attended there has been great.
The Miners Foundry is 1 of THE biggest delights in our county. I’ve celebrated many occasions with friends & family there. I love dancing the night away. I joined in with many others to fund the wonderful dance floor & joined in the inaugural dance to Achilles Wheel, when it was done! I’ve seen tributes to John Muir, plays, dances, craft fairs, psychic fairs & my favorite music played right in the heart of Nevada City!!! 🙂
Two of my favorite bands in one of my favorite places ! How awesome this would be ♡Thanks for the opportunity to win this great night !
I love the historic stone hall, and the memories of my wedding reception held there. 🙂
The thing that is great about the the mIners FOundary is the range of events they host! Psychic Fair! Craft shows! Concerts! Comedy! Field Festival! Parties! Fundraisers! Love this place!
Isn’t it amazing!
I love the feeling of being somewhere unique and special..
Agreed, I love that the Foundry has so much history too.
Great venue for a dance party!
My husband and I love blue grass, Nevada City, and the Grass Valley area.
I live for Bluegrass. Can’t imagine a better way to spend the evening.Good luck to everyone
I love the Miners Foundry for all its rich history that has taken place in this amazing building. From is old cobweb encrusted wooden beams, to its delicate stone work. Many hands have built & rebuilt this inspiring space for many to enjoy. Our very own KVMR started here in 1974 to become today, our very own non commercial radio powerhouse. And with out the American Victorian museum, the world may never have had the Wee Willie Juicer! Love the Foundry.
I love everything about the miners foundry! The history, the good vibes, the fun times and the great tunes!!!<3
I have been going to see music at the Miners Foundry since I could walk and dance. I was Born and raised with the love of music, and the joy of being apart of a small community. Nestled comfortably inside the heart of our Northern California paradise, resides a unique vibration and energy. Those that can hear the call and feel the pulling gather together inside of this beautiful location to share a night you’ll never forget….
~Be You, Be true,
And Dance~
You can feel the history of the place. It’s such an amazing part of our town.
I have to say my favorite thing about the Miner’s Foundry is the physical structure itself. A stone structure has such staying power and so much character.
Such an amazing venue, great acoustics and timeless! I have been going to events here since I was a kid! Cannot wait for my next amazing moment there!
If those beautiful stone walls could talk the amazing stories of happy events they would tell. Nevada City is blessed to have that little piece of heaven called “Miners Foundry” in it mists. I have been to the foundry so many times for community events, holiday events and many of my friends wedding receptions. The acoustics there are wonderful so I can only imagine listening to Hot Buttered Rum bluegrass would be magical.
You have to love this historic venue!
Thanks Thad for playing along! I’m off to go hunt down some jelly beans for you.
How fun! Hope to go 🙂
Would love to go and dance the night away with my sweetie
Dancing is one of life’s greatest gifts. Love to go!!

I’m an old fan of HBR, love the miners foundry, and have always wanted to stay at the Outside Inn! Feelin’ lucky 🙂

A dance party will be good for the soul, warm thoughts.
We <3 <3 <3 that you are an all ages venue! We can finally get out and see some good music and share it with our little loves!
Butter in the foundry….great combination. These guys are awesome and the Miners Foundry is large enough to hold a good crowd, but small enough…..to hold a good crowd. Looking forward to next week!
What could be better than Hot Buttered Rum, the Achilles Wheel Trio and a night of slumber at The Outside Inn!? The Miners Foundry is an incredible place to see a show; its intimate, rustic and historic atmosphere can’t be beat for getting into the music and soaking in the Sierra Foothill vibes. This is going to be an awesome night!
Love the Outside Inn, and the Miners Foundry! Thanks for the opportunity…we would so enjoy a night out at HBR!! Cheers!
We’ve seen so many great shows at the Miners Foundry would love to add this one to our memories!
The thing I love most about the Foundry is that it is the birthplace of the Pelton Wheel! What a Wheel that was!
When I think of the miners foundry, I recall all the great shows I’ve been lucky to see there, and all the friends I gone there with over the years. It is such a wonderful piece of our community.
The miners foundry is the best music venue in town!! I love the intimate feeling of shows at this place. It’s a great place to get together and support the community. Really looking forward to this show
I moved to GrassValley 2 years ago so I’ve only been there once to see Pat Travers band, the place is so cool. I like the intimate setting and all the history of the venue
What a great show, perfect venue and fun crowd this will be. I love Achilles Wheel and would LOVE to be picked a winner and to take SUMONE FOLEY with me to celebrate her birthday this 4/20 2016!!!
I just adore the Outside Inn. Such a perfect place to stay when visiting Nevada City! I would love to stay ther when I win the tickets to HBR and AH!!
I love the Foundry because it brings events like this to beautiful Nevada City! ‘Nuff said.
Oh – the Miner’s Foundry – you’ll fall in love. This was my first choice for our wedding. I was saddened when our day was already scheduled – even over a year advance.
Would love to see HBR here! Gonna beg my husband regardless! <3
