Half/Shot Brings Rock, Country and ’90s Hits to Propaganda Wine Co. in Vista

If your ideal Saturday-night playlist can jump from country to rock to the songs you haven't heard since the ’90s without missing a beat, Propaganda Wine Co. has something coming up for you.

Half/Shot is headed to Propaganda Wine Co. in Vista on Saturday, August 29, for a ticketed night of live music featuring rock ’n’ roll, country and ’90s and 2000s hits.

 

Doors open at 6 p.m., with the show beginning at 7 p.m.

 

A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock ’n’ Roll

 

Half/Shot is a Southern California band built around the kind of songs people recognize within the first few notes.

 

Their live sets mix modern country with classic and more recent rock, then dip into favorites from the ’90s and 2000s.

 

Translation: this probably isn't going to be one of those shows where everyone stands politely wondering what song they're listening to.

 

Half/Shot has been playing venues and community events around Southern California, developing a reputation for energetic performances and familiar music designed for a crowd that would rather sing along than sit quietly.

 

Wine Meets Live Music in Vista

The show lands at Propaganda Wine Co., located at 2129 Industrial Court in Vista.

 

Propaganda takes a deliberately relaxed approach to wine. The Vista winery says its goal is to make wine more approachable and enjoyable rather than something reserved for serious collectors and formal tasting rooms.

 

Its current lineup includes reds ranging from Pinot Noir and Merlot to Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo and Petite Sirah, along with whites, rosé and sparkling wine.

 

That makes a high-energy Saturday-night concert a pretty natural fit.

 

Instead of the traditional quiet wine-tasting experience, August 29 looks more like wine glasses, guitars and a room full of people who suddenly remember every word to a song they haven't heard in 20 years.

 

This One Is Ticketed

 

Unlike some of Propaganda's regular entertainment, the Half/Shot performance is an exclusive ticketed event.

 

Doors are scheduled to open at 6 p.m., with Half/Shot taking the stage at 7 p.m. Current ticket listings show admission beginning at $15.

If you've been looking for an excuse to check out Propaganda Wine Co. — or you're simply a sucker for a band that refuses to stay in one musical decade — this might be a good one.

    Doors at 6? Does that mean we have to stand around an hour before music starts?

    Half/Shot played at my buddy’s wedding last year. They got everyone on the dance floor. Should be a blast.
