Going strong since 2001, The Strange Tones are recognized as a one-of-a-kind Pacific Northwest musical institution. This combo is known for their highly entertaining live performances and their unique stamp on American roots music. Rather than plundering the shrines of American music and merely imitating their heroes, these sonic crime fighters have concocted their own secret formula called "Crime-A-Billy". The band draws upon the rich traditions of blues, rockabilly, surf, and R&B, mixed with film noir sonic hues, and combines all of these ingredients with well-crafted song writing and dynamic performances. The band has earned multiple awards and entry into the Muddy Hall of Fame as “Best Contemporary Band” as well as multiple awards for “Best Electric Guitar” by the Cascade Blues Association.

Don't miss our annual Pink Pape Party at Tranche on Friday, May 1st from 5-8pm!

Our latest release of Pink Pape Rosé will be flowing plus our other Spring Release favorites - Pape (red Rhône blend that screams summertime red) + Pape Blanc (white Rhône blend known for its lush mouthfeel).

Providing the music to keep the vibes going all night will be Paper Flowers "Remembering Fleetwood Mac" - a band that is composed of four rock musicians paying homage to some of the greatest artists of a generation.

Paper Flowers: Remembering Fleetwood Mac offers a tribute of a different kind. Operating under a loose definition of “tribute band,” Paper Flowers evokes the feeling of a live performance during Fleetwood Mac’s heyday; around the time of their seminal release, Rumours.

They don’t wear wigs or play pretend. Paper Flowers is composed of four rock musicians paying homage to some of the greatest artists of a generation! Rather than a strict “needle drop,” they put their own spin on some of Fleetwood Mac’s most memorable hits, resulting in an often emotional and evocative experience.
