The Saint Cecilia has earned a reputation for putting on an unforgettable live show. Lead singer and guitarist Stewart Heigold is the beating heart of the band, his commanding presence and emotive voice anchoring each song. The band’s rhythm section Guillaume Devigne bass and Daniel Solarzano on drums—creates a tight, groove-heavy foundation, while Romain Garriot’s guitar work injects a sense of urgency and passion into the mix. Together, they form a powerhouse of sound that’s sure to reverberate across BottleRock’s vibrant festival grounds.

There’s no doubt their performance will be a festival highlight, offering a throwback to the glory days of rock with a distinctly modern twist.

With their penchant for blending soulful vocals with gritty guitar riffs and explosive choruses, they’ve become a must-see act for anyone attending the festival.
With BottleRock Napa Valley just around the corner, it’s clear that The Saint Cecilia’s set will be one of the highlights of the festival. Their raw energy, dedication to their craft, and unapologetic rock spirit make them a band to watch.
