Spike Sikes and His Awesome Hotcakes

The most frequent comment after a Spike’s Awesome Hotcakes show? “No one is making this kind of music anymore!” But what exactly is this kind of music? Like hotcakes themselves, it goes by many names — soul, swing, rhythm and blues, jazz, jump. It’s a sound that’s classic and simple, but when it’s done right, it hits just right and leaves audiences grinning from ear to ear.

Frontman Spike spent years chasing this feel-good sound, from gritty Texas blues joints to the funky backrooms of New Orleans. He studied, listened, and fine-tuned his approach until he found just the right recipe — one that truly came together when he met his bandmates in Sonoma County’s rich and eclectic music scene.

What he didn’t expect was just how hungry audiences would be for “this kind of music.” But from the first downbeat, it’s clear — they’re eating it up like Hotcakes.

Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door (cash or card accepted).
