Achilles Wheel band along with very special guest Jen Rund on Bass!
Achilles Wheel is a California band that blurs the lines between genres with a mix of infectious high energy dance beats and stark lyrical ballads. Roots Rock storytelling combined with dance hall psychedelia.
Much like life itself, their music breathes in and out with joy and pain, hurtling forward like a wheel, intent on hope and love. They play hard as a way to break down walls and celebrate life. Their idealism is not diminished by the harsh light of the modern world as we struggle to live free and have a good time… and in the end – hopefully make a difference. Achilles Wheel fearlessly sings out to these times, the here and now.
“These Sierra Mountain improvisational-spirited rockers never paid much mind as to how other “jam-bands” do it, nor do they let their influences determine their sound.” – The Grateful Web
Jen Rund began playing music at an early age, beginning with cello, piano, clarinet and guitar. At 15, Jen fell in love with the bass guitar and began her insatiable exploration into many different styles of music.
She currently leads her own original and covers band Jenerator with Jonny Mojo on guitar and they appear regularly all over the Bay Area and beyond. She has had great fun sharing the stage with many others, including: Karl Denson, Lebo, Jonny Mojo, Coco Montoya (Coco Montoya Blues Band); Brant Leeper (Coco Montoya); Mark Clark (Ottmar Leibert, Cat Stevens); Michael Chavez (Ottmar Leibert); John Kurzweg (producer Creed, Jewel); Larry Mitchell (Tracy Chapman); Barry Sless (David Nelson Band, Moonalice); Mark Karan (Ratdog, the Other Ones); Stu Allen (Phil Lesh and Friends, JGB); Pete Lavazzoli (JGB); Jason Crosby (Bob Weir, Phil Lesh & Friends, Robert Randolph); Michael Bluestein (Foreigner, Boz Scaggs); Lumanation; Cole Tate Band, Michael Pinkham and Jeff Miller (New Monsoon), Jonny Mojo (Achilles Wheel), and The Real Sarahs.
