Steve Gunn

American songwriter and guitarist Steve Gunn brings his exploratory blend of folk, psych, and blues to the Pioneertown hills for a Sunday night set at Pappy & Harriet’s. Known for intricate finger‑picking, spacious improvisations, and a slow-burn, road-tested sound, Gunn’s songs land somewhere between desert drift and back-porch reflection—right at home in this old roadhouse. Opening the night is Shannon Lay, whose intimate, folk-rooted songs and clear, understated vocals carry a quiet intensity. Together they make for an evening of guitar-forward storytelling that leans more on mood than spectacle. All ages are welcome. Doors open at 8:00 pm with music starting at 9:00 pm. Tickets run $25–$30 and are available in advance; this one’s likely to draw both locals and out-of-towners escaping to the high desert for a winter show under the stars.
