A sneak peak at this weekend's BottleRock music festival

BottleRock is actually closer to downtown Sonoma than Kenwood is, but somehow doesn't seem like it. Still, with a big-name three-day music festival only a 17-minute drive away in Napa, it's impossible not to have it on our radar. All three days sold out months ago, but if you've got tickets to go 'bottlerocking' this weekend, we've grabbed some picks for you.

We're pretty sure you all know about Stevie Wonder, Lenny Kravitz, Ziggy Marley and the other big names, so we're going to focus on some up-and-coming acts we like on the smaller stages.

The Deadlies. Riding the wave straight out of Napa, this hippie-surf-country act logged over 100 shows last year, opening for names like Lisa Marie Presley, the Mavericks, Blue Oyster Cult, the B-52's, Dick Dale and Big Bad VooDoo Daddy. The songs contain just about every surf and rockabilly lick ever recorded and has a Dick Dale-Brian Setzer vibe to it. Fronted by guitarist James Patrick Regan and Bob St. Laurent, the band will get you moving. Catch them on the Jam Cellars stage at noon today, May 27.

The Silverado Pickups. It's not the truck they're talking about, but the pickups that grab the sound from the guitar and pump it into the amp. This group of Napa Valley wine industry veterans play what they describe as 'wine-infused California rock.' Legend has it they met over a six-pack of wine somewhere on the Oakville Crossing back in 2010, and haven't looked back. The act includes David Duncan of Silver Oak and Twomey Cellars, Jeff Gargiulo of Gargiulo Vineyards, Shane Soldinger with Silver Trident Winery, Dan Zepponi of Madrone Estate in Sonoma, winemaker Tres Goetting of Robert Biale Vineyards, percussionist Joe Shotwell and wine-industry advisor Paul Hoffman. We think it's safe to say wine will be on stage. You can catch them on the Miner Family Winery stage on Saturday, May 28, at 1:30 p.m.

Anadel. The band is an up-and-coming regional act, playing San Francisco, Napa and even Sonoma since 2011. They call their music 'ambient alternative' in the vein of Radiohead, Nick Drake and Mutemath, with songs that have strings and a variety of other instruments you would not expect to hear. The act is donating 100 percent of it's tips on Noisetrade for the entire month to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. You can catch the band today, May 27, at 12:15 p.m. on the Lagunitas Stage.

Rose's Pawn Shop. Out of Los Angeles, the band came about it's name in one of the most unique ways we've ever heard. Seems that singer-songwriter Paul Givant's disgruntled ex-girlfriend, Rose, having had just about enough of him and the band, stole and pawned all their gear to a local pawn shop. At that point the name was clear and, after getting their gear out of hock, the band was born. The band has an upbeat country feel, almost Hillbilly, which is similar to the Avett Brothers with a hint of Johnny Cash and Bill Monroe. You can catch them on the Lagunitas Stage on Saturday, May 29, at 2:15 p.m.

Royal Jelly Jive. You will feel like you have stepped back into the '40s with this act, with an authentic swing sound heavy on acoustic stand-up bass and full horn section. Hailing from San Francisco and veterans of the club scene there, Lauren Michelle Bjelde's sultry vocals, mixed with the vibe will take you back in time. You can catch them on the Miner Family Winery Stage on Sunday, May 29, at 12:45 p.m.

Jamestown Revival. Hailing from the small Texas town of Magnolia, the duo of Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance felt the calling, and ventured to Austin, Texas to hone their musical craft. Like many, seems a trip to Los Angeles is a necessary evil, but for this duo they came back to Austin with an album and a record deal under their belts, and ventured to Utah in a cabin to record it and titled it, aptly 'UTAH.' The act has a fresh sound with clear influences to artists from the past. Guy Clark, CCR, Willie Nelson. You can catch the Revival on the Miner Family Stage on Sunday, May 29, at 4:15 p.m.

Moonalice. OK, these guys are kind of a big name, but truly a local band that has so much musical history with them and are doing things to keep the vibe of the '60s alive. They record every show they play and give them away on their website. They have a poster artist create a unique poster for each and every show. They have even created the 'Moonalice Legend' with some parts believable, and others not so much. The band features rock legend Pete Sears on bass, who turns 68 years old today; he played on the 'Gasoline Alley' record with Rod Stewart and did stints with the Jefferson Starship and Hot Tuna. The band is essentially a jam band, with a decidedly '60s groove. You can catch them on the Miner Family Winery Stage on Saturday, May 28, at 8:45 p.m.
