Hailing from North Lake Tahoe, Coburn Station is dedicated to filling the mountains with cosmic vibrations via a soulful blend of rock n’ roll, groove, and psychedelia. With a knack for live improvisation, Coburn Station comes alive with the energy and spirit of the Sierras. The music pays tribute to the rockers of days past while incorporating elements that are new and powerful.

Showcasing the bands maturation is “Rusted Rose / This River,” Coburn Station’s two-Single release in December of 2022. Both tracks were recorded by Alexander Korostinsky of The Sextones at Archive Group Studios in Reno, NV. Also check out Coburn’s debut LP, “Coming Home”, which has become a local rock triumph. Consisting of 11 original tracks, the album displays a diverse blend of genres, which the band has dubbed “Mountain Rock”. Look out for Coburn’s follow up LP in 2024!

“North Lake Tahoe based Coburn Station – If you haven’t heard this band, we recommend giving them a listen. The sound is jamband-ish — the ‘ish’ is due to the band’s ability to pay homage to a classic sound while owning it in its own right.

The members of  Coburn Station bill their music as ‘Mountain Rock’. ‘It’s just the energy, I think,’ said Dan McAlister, guitarist and lead vocalist. ‘You live in the mountains. There’s a way of going about your every day that kind of informs your taste, your outlook, your perception of the world. It’s just mountain living, and we’re a product of it—and it’s rock n’ roll’.

It most certainly is rock n’ roll, although not of any particular flavor. And, in a way, that’s another aspect of Coburn Station’s sound that qualifies it as mountain rock. It’s a mix of blues, folk and psychedelia that speaks to different regional influences. It’s the product of a resort town, a ‘mountain town’—and like its creators and so many others who visit and live in Truckee—the music has roots elsewhere.”
