All 12 bands were phenomenal and they made the night run like clockwork. The Margaritas and Piña Coladas were drained, the Toast Collective hosted a great after party, and nobody drowned as far as I’m aware. At the end of the night we had about 100 votes in the ballot box which was more than enough to tally up the winners (keep reading to find out who they are.)

Think: Toto, Kenny Loggins, Hall & Oates, Chicago, Christopher Cross… the list goes on and on (and on and on and on). Here are the 12 bands that will have you swimming in smoothness on August 28th (in no particular order):

Tickets will be $12 at the door (that’s a buck a band!) or they can be pre-purchased at Zulu, Scratch and Red Cat. Sponsored by: Sewells Marina, and CiTR 101.9 FM.
