The Sea Monks with Garrett James and the Wanderers Opening the Fall season with some Blues, Vintage rock, and Swamp-Tinged Twang.. Garrett James and the Wanderers are a young Rock' n Roll/Blues Rock band that blends the soulful tunes of classic Vinyl-Era blues with the raw energy of Cassette-Era rock 'n' roll.
The band's music is an influential combination of rock, bluesy licks, stirring riffs, and heart-inspiring lyrics that resonate with the dedicated passion of years gone by. The band's sincere goal is to forge their creative mark and share the love of music with everyone, as well as help younger generations that follow.
The Sea Monks are “Arguably one of the hardest working bands to come out of San Diego, this family outfit, dripping with blood chemistry, delivers a real deal blend of Rock ’n’ Roll & Rockabilly Country.” - R.J. Bloke, Bigtop Bandstand. The Sea Monks blend a wide range of musical influences, from western swing to punk rock, into their own brand of swampy-tonk country. Originally hailing from San Diego, CA, the band now lives in Nashville, TN, and plays an average of 100 gigs per year, and they have shared the stage with great artists such as Dale Watson, Jimmie Vaughan, The Beat Farmers, Kimmi Bitter and more. They have released four albums, two of which were nominated for Best Country/Americana Album in the San Diego Music Awards in 2022 and 2025. The Sea Monks look forward to sharing their unique blend of Rock & Twang with you!
