Don't forget to come out and see Wookie Garcia at The Ruby Room tonight Sunday, 12/02!

"It's finally the weekend, and we're headed for the bar..."  Those words begin our tribute to arguably the finest San Diego band ever, and more importantly, to their legendary founder, Country Dick Montana.  It would be impossible to estimate the…

Friday's track is the first song Kyle & Brian wrote together after a break of several years.  It was written over several weeks in the garage days before Wookie Garcia was a band.  The father in the story obviously exaggerates…

Wookie Garcia's debut release Songs from Ray's Garage will be available for purchase and download on Tuesday, December 4.  Initially the album will be only be available from our web site, however there will be more places to buy added…
