On the road again; life I love is making music with my friends – The Bodleys trio of Wasyl Bodnar, rhythm guitar, Ash St. Pierre, fiddle, and John Stradley, percussion, will return to the Eastern Sierra on Memorial Day weekend, 2025. – Images by Ash St. Pierre and DJ and Emma Stradley

The Bodleys, an acoustic ensemble based in Long Beach, CA, will continue its 10-year association with Distant Brewing/Black Doubt Brewing Company with a 6:00 – 9:00 P.M. performance on Sunday, August 31, 2025.

Over the years, The Bodleys have fronted both quartet and trio configurations in Mammoth Lakes, yet their eclectic set of blues, country, folk, and rock has remained a constant. Sweet and savory tunes by Johnny Cash, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Jethro Tull, and the Beatles among others are seasoned with dashes of The Cure, Stick Figure, and the LBC’s Sublime – all featuring the awe-inspiring fiddle of Ash St. Pierre. The rhythm section includes Wasyl Bodnar on guitar, Justice Ford on bass, and John Stradley on percussion. Multi-instrumentalist and lead guitarist Mat Summers has traded blistering call and response leads with St. Pierre now and then over the past decade.

The Bodleys are honored to continue their longtime association with Distant Brewing, and look forward to bringing their vibe to patrons and staff once again on the Labor Day weekend. Additional information on this and other potential Labor Day weekend performances in the Mammoth Lakes area can be found above on the “Upcoming Performances” link. -TB

Tracked Out formed when Gibson Collins (a former Crowley resident and lead singer/guitarist) linked up with Mike Bizinski (a longtime June local and bassist) at the Bridgeport open mic while driving down to Mammoth to ski from his new home in Portland. A snowstorm shut down Highway 395 during that trip and Gibson got “stuck” at Mikey’s place. The two spent the week enjoying country club days at June Mountain, lapping the June area backcountry, and jamming out in the evenings after long days of powder skiing. At the beginning of that week, the two friends enjoyed fresh tracks. By the end of the week, everything was “Tracked Out”. When 395 finally reopened, they played a show together at Distant Brewing in Mammoth. Shortly afterwards Mikey brought Mammoth locals Jon Carlton (lead guitarist) and Andrew Jefferson (drums) into the fold and the band was complete. They’re a motley crew of ski bums that enjoy playing classic rock, folk, grunge, reggae, and more whenever Gibson can make the trip down to the Eastern Sierra.
