Is Sacramento ready for Victory Gin? The answer to that is definitely! Victory Gin is a local band whose exceptional technique of tones and style has blown away many music lovers in Sacramento. Together for only a year now, this talented roots-rock band has managed to receive a nomination for best rock band at the Sammies: An honor to Victory Gin for their length of time together.
Victory Gin?s members were influenced by some of the greats in rock and roll history such as Led Zeppelin, The Black Crowes, the Dave Matthews Band, and Toad the Wet Sprocket. With each member having their own unique taste for music they each bring a distinctive style to the table.
With their sophomore album “Missiouri Flat,” they are headed to stardom in no time! This album captures a blend of blues and rock with Devon Galley?s vocals and acoustic guitar, Adam Dickey on drums and percussion, Scott Chavez on bass, and Bryan Ritchie on guitar and vocals.
I have had the chance to work with Victory Gin?s drummer Adam Dickey in the past and jumped at the chance to hear the new album “Missiouri Flat.” I also had the opportunity to talk with Dickey about the local Sacramento music scene.
