Wheelchair accessible ramps into the lawn and ADA portable restroom provided. DIRTY HEADS have mixed hip-hop, reggae, and rock to create a unique sound that both fully embodies their Southern California roots and resonates with audiences around the globe. The group formed when punk rocker Dustin Bushnell (aka Duddy B) asked his friend, rapper Jared Watson (aka Dirty J), to collaborate on a project that would focus on positive vibes and infectious grooves. Dirty Heads later grew to five members and began building an immense audience, eventually out streaming some of the biggest alternative acts in the U.S. SLIGHTLY STOOPID, led by the vastly versatile duo of Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald, has expanded its fusion of rock, reggae, acoustic soul, hip hop, heavy metal, and punk rock, and achieved artistic freedom and commercial success while subscribing to their own DIY ethos. In the process, the talented collective has grown both onstage- from their original trio to a seven-piece ensemble- and as the generational forebearer of an immensely growing subculture and lifestyle movement. COMMON KINGS are more than a band of musicians, they are a family, a lifestyle, a community, a brother and sisterhood, having grown up together in California’s Orange County, four college mates who first met at a backyard barbeque 20-some years ago. Common Kings have been releasing music on their own Island Empire/Mensch House Records label for more than a decade. Their island rhythms are as seductive as a lazy ocean breeze, with a narrative that is an All-American story with a tropical twist. THE ELOVATERS have quickly become a household name for lovers of Sublime, Jack Johnson, Slightly Stoopid, G. Love, Stick Figure, The Movement, and more. They won Artist Of The Year, and Live Act of The Year in the 2022 New England Music Awards, and a few months later were voted Reggae/Ska Artist of The Year in the Boston Music Awards. Their music has been featured on CBS’ Hawaii Five-O and their song “Boston” was played during the World Series Parade when the Boston Red Sox won in 2018.
