Join us for an unforgettable evening of live music on the patio stage at Resistance Wine Co. Two powerhouse Southern Oregon bands—Summer Colds and Another Anthem—will be trading energy and anthems in back-to-back sets you won’t want to miss.

About the Bands
Summer Colds
Born from chaos, clarity, and a love of loud guitars, Summer Colds fuses heavy indie rock and power pop with dark, poetic lyricism. Think fuzzy ‘90s alt-rock energy, anthemic hooks, and a sound that’s as raw as it is irresistible. Their debut album, Here Comes Nothing (2019), set the tone, and now they’re gearing up for the release of Missing Out—their highly anticipated second album—coming Halloween 2025. Until then, fans can dive into the three singles already released from the record. Expect soaring guitar riffs, gritty vocals, and the kind of energy that lingers long after the last note.

Another Anthem
Founded in 2006 by lead singer/guitarist Matt Holben and bassist/vocalist Logan Herzog, Another Anthem blends pop-punk edge with genre-bending ambition. Rounded out by drummer Andrew Peel and guitarist Brandon Kester, the band’s latest release, The Chronicles of Death and Dusk, may be their boldest material to date, cementing their reputation as one of Southern Oregon’s most exciting live acts.

Join Emmy Award-winner Jane Lynch and the hilariously charming Kate Flannery for a raucous night of comedy, song, and unapologetic mischief in The Trouble with Angels. With powerhouse vocals, razor-sharp wit, and more than a few surprises, these two beloved stars serve up a cocktail of classic tunes, campy banter, and devilish charm. It’s part cabaret, part stand-up, and all sass—because when these angels get together, heaven can wait.

Join us for another Camelot Exclusive as we pay tribute to one of country music’s most legendary supergroups in Spotlight on The Highwaymen. Experience the timeless hits of Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson, performed by some of the finest musicians and vocalists. This musical tribute promises to capture the spirit and soul of The Highwaymen, bringing their iconic songs to life on stage, including “Riders in the Sky,“ “Highwaymen,” “The Last Cowboy Song,” and more .
