-Wow, thanks for the diversity. Typical WASP fest, not surprised!
I am sure there are some decent soulful groups in the region or Nor Cal.

-Carla,
Our line up is focused on showcasing local bands from Sacramento, or those that started here. We have many new headliners this year that haven’t played in the past, and whole new genres such as California reggae and punk. Not to mention we’ve added DJs this year to spin between sets. Come on out, I think you’ll see a lot of fresh acts and have a lot of fun!
