About the bands:

M Jones and the Melee is a rock band based out of Oakland, CA. Fronted by guitarist, singer and songwriter M Jones, their theatrical performing style has been likened to that of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

Sabertooth Unicorn Originally created as an outlet for the darkly-comedic lyrical musings of front man Vince Lay, Sabertooth Unicorn has quickly ballooned into a growing menagerie of wildly talented musicians. They are a supergroup of seasoned and diverse players, and their high energy live show is an always unpredictable party. From folk rock anthems to Circus punk sing-and-dance-alongs, the Sabertooth Unicorn show leaves no stone unturned in their mission to celebrate the absurdity of modern day life by forcing people to stop taking themselves so seriously and start having a good time

Hovering Breadcat is an unique experience in West Coast Americana Folk Rock with a good dose of bluegrass, Irish, Zydeco, and Jamband music. Derek Bodkin is a world champion whistler, banjo/guitarist, and percussionist. Tommy Knowles is a guitarist steeped in the cold waters of the pacific, bringing great original tunes and sea chanties of old to the table. Also, Brian Vandemark - Bass, David Welsh - Drums, Michael Willingham - Mandolin, Harry Thomas - Harmonica.

Songwriters Derek Bodkin, Scott Cooper, and David Hunt Cameron are going to be playing their original songs alone and together in an intimate backyard setting located in North Seaside, Ca.

We’d like to invite you to bring your own beverages, picnic and snacks. If you enjoy wine, please bring a bottle of wine to share. We invite you to make yourself comfortable by bringing a chair, some tasty beverages, and some warmer clothes for when the sun goes down. (Best to wear layers)
