Nevada City, CA – Get ready for a night of vibrant energy, captivating music, and unforgettable memories as the Miners Foundry Cultural Center and Paul Emery Music present their annual New Year’s Eve Bash! This year, Achilles Wheel and special guests Vibeyard will take the stage to welcome 2025 with an evening of exceptional music, lively energy, and shared celebration.

Achilles Wheel

The Miners Foundry has been the heart of Nevada County’s New Year’s Eve celebrations for over two decades. This long-standing tradition brings together friends, both old and new, for an evening of music, dancing, and celebration in a setting as historic as it is enchanting. With its seated VIP tables complete with party favors, a no-host bar, and a midnight countdown, the Foundry promises a unique and unforgettable experience for couples, groups of friends, and anyone looking for a vibrant way to ring in the new year.

Headlining the evening is Achilles Wheel, a local favorite whose music is a masterful blend of roots rock storytelling and dance-hall psychedelia. Known for their dynamic performances, Achilles Wheel returns triumphantly to the Miners Foundry stage, ready to inspire the crowd with their uplifting melodies and infectious rhythms. “Achilles Wheel is the best band I’ve heard in years coming out of Nevada County,” said Paul Emery of Nevada City Live. “They have great original songs and singing, accompanied by a swinging band with just the right groove that you can hang out with for hours on the dance floor.”

Joining them is VibeYard, a powerhouse trio of music veterans making their debut at the Foundry. With a sound deeply rooted in West Coast funk, Latin, rock, and jazz, Vibeyard’s members bring a wealth of experience, having collaborated with legends like Santana, Tower of Power, and War. “Our music is about keeping the spirit of funk, rock, and jazz alive while adding our own fresh spin,” said JB Eckl, guitarist and vocalist for VibeYard. With their electric energy and genre-defying style, Vibeyard will set the tone for an unforgettable night.

As the clock strikes midnight, revelers will come together for a countdown that embodies the joy and unity of the evening. This one-night-only celebration is not just a concert—it’s a full-sensory experience that captures the soul of Nevada City’s rich musical and cultural heritage.
