The Residents Tahoe — You Gotta See These Guys Live
I didn’t know what I was getting into the first time I heard The Residents Tahoe. But the second they started playing I was singing along, and I haven’t stopped since. These guys are the real deal. South Lake Tahoe originals with a full band of ridiculously talented musicians, original songs that’ll give you chills, and the kind of live energy you just can’t fake. I even got to play cajon with them on the 4th of July at the Hard Rock Casino while fireworks were going off outside. Yeah. That happened. Go find them on YouTube at @TheResidentsTahoe and thank me later.
Play That One Song: The Story Behind the Anthem
You know how every band gets someone shouting “Free Bird!” from the crowd? In South Lake Tahoe, a group of friends had their own version — they’d show up to every local show and yell “Play That One Song!” at every band they saw. For years they told musicians someone ought to write it. Nobody did. So Resident Ted Kennedy said forget it — and wrote it himself. The result is one of the most feel-good live anthems on the Tahoe music scene. Now streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.
