You might know him as the guitarist from the Sandpoint band Nights of Neon, or further back from his work with Still Tipsy and the Hangovers, or perhaps as the chef at Eichardt’s Pub who makes your excellent lunch or dinner. Either way, Reese Warren rocks.
With a style inspired by the blues, rockabilly tunes, alternative tracks, B-side bangers and a smattering of North Idaho lifestyle sounds, Warren plays a mean guitar, but he’s a hell of a nice guy.
Warren will play a solo show from 8-11 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 20 at the Tervan Tavern, 411 Cedar St. in Sandpoint.
Come for the cheap beer, stay for the good tunes and small-town bar vibes, because if there’s any place where Warren shines the brightest, it’s at a dive bar.

Heavily steeped in the funk tradition, Spokane’s Jason Perry has left his mark on Sandpoint over the years.
Whether playing in his band or solo on acoustic guitar, Perry’s dedication to showmanship, musical talent and inspiring those in the audience to shake their booties is ever-present.
Perry will play a solo show at Connie’s Lounge from 5-8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 21.
With a repertoire that swings between neo-soul, funk, rock and even some Americana vibes, Perry always brings fun energy on stage.
He’s just as entertaining at an intimate spot like Connie’s as he is at a festival stage in summertime.
