You may not be feeling very lively due to all of the extremely hot weather, but here at the Dunbar House Inn & Event Property, we’ve found a cool way to pick your spirits back up. Get your heart to beat like the wings of the birds that rise from the lakes to the trees by checking out some of these cool venues offering live music in and around Murphys and the Gold Country.

Beat the Heat with the Calaveras Winegrape Alliance

Perhaps you read recently why Murphys is the coolest little town in the Mother Lode, but the Dunbar House Inn & Event Property has one more idea to offer: the “Beat the Heat” August live music series with the Calaveras Winegrape Alliance. Since August 2, the Calaveras Winegrape Alliance began offering a weekend pass to three local wineries hosting live music concerts and plenty of opportunities to taste some chilled wines with a special welcome pour. Plus, you’ll get a commemorative wineglass to take with you.

This cool, fun-filled weekend kicks off on Friday nights at Prospect 772 for their Hot August Nights live concert series. Picnic under the stars while you listen to some awesome tunes. You can even bring your own food to grill or order a pizza from Todd Gunter. Prospect 772 Winery is located at 772 Appaloosa Road in Angels Camp, just a short, scenic drive from the Dunbar House Inn and & Event Property, and so worth it. Call (209) 736-9361 for more information. http://www.prospect772.com/events-calendar.html

Follow up with another great night on Saturday at Jazz Cellars in the heart of Murphys. Just a short walk down Main Street from the Dunbar House Inn & Event Property, Jazz Cellars offers some jazzy live music every weekend along with tastes of their award-winning wine. Be a cool cat and give them a visit at 380 Main Street, Murphys, or call them at (209) 297-3058. https://www.jazzcellars.com/assets/client/File/2019_Music_Program_2.pdf
