July 21st: The Lucky Ones

Formed in 2013 Adam Lawson, Daniel Vos and Alonso Vargas banded together over a mutual love of all things music. With eclectic influences ranging from blues, jazz, rock and Reggae this original band is creating a new style of beach rock. Unique harmonies, interesting melodies and riffs ring with elements of Jack Johnson, Steele Pulse, Jason Mraz and Slightly Stoopid providing something for all music lovers to enjoy.

Opening Band - Alinea

Alinea means “new train of thought” which is what their music reflects. Their original music is alt rock with classic rock and blues influence. Lead guitarist and singer JJ Barry and drummer Lance Meliota started playing together in a 5th grade surf band called The Treblemakers. Rhythm guitar and singer Ben Tyrrell and bassist Shannon Ennis also played together in grade school. Along the way, they all met up and Alinea was born. Alinea’s music and lyrics are all original, written by JJ Barry and Ben Tyrrell. Alinea was the Winner of 2017 Manhattan Beach Hometown Fair Battle of the Bands-South Bay and winner of the Redondo Beach Battle of the Bands, 2019
