but silenced around the globe, essentially laying off bands like ONOFF.

“Since COVID happened everything was shut down,” Paulie said.

ONOFF’S fan base grew louder during quarantine, pleading for an alternative to a live show in a bar or nightclub.

Around that time an idea was spawned to have a drive-in show at the 7 Mile House just outside

Marysville in Yuba County in June.

Paulie said with the support of 7 Mile House owners Deb and Charlie Armbruster the first drive-in concert was established.

“It was such a success both nights,” Paulie said.

Now comes the final hurrah, or as Paulie likes to say, “one final party,” next month. The two-day show will take place on Oct.

9-10 at the 7 Mile House, located about seven miles outside of Marysville along State Route 20.

“The return is already sold out,” Paulie said. “The demand for live music in the community of Yuba City and Marysville is very strong.”

Paulie said the bar will remain shut down, so concert goers will be set up outside in the parking lot socially-distanced from each other. Face coverings are not mandatory, Paulie said.

He said everyone will be allocated a space where they can park their car forward or backward tailgate-style.

That means chairs can come out and people can have their own little party within their space while listening to the live music on a sound system.

In addition to ONOFF, there will be opening acts each night that cover a variety of genres, including country, funk and retro rock and roll.

“Over the two nights I feel like we have covered the spectrum of music that would appeal to everybody,” said Stevie Tenbears, the drummer. “It’s the

last concert of the year.”

Following the concert at 7 Mile House, ONOFF will go into recording with Brian Wheat of the Tesla band out of Sacramento to record its next album.

The two-day show Oct. 9-10 opens its doors at 4 p.m., with the first opening act scheduled for 6 p.m., followed by ONOFF at 8 p.m. sharp.
