June 21 – SunFallen

SunFallen will take you back a few decades to when live music meant something—a time when guitars howled, the bass drum kicked, and the vocals of a song took you back to a place you’ve missed. The band covers modern and classic country and rock.

June 28 – Johnny Russler & The Beach Bum Band

Johnny Russler & The Beach Bum Band are the ultimate party band, celebrating the beach, warm summer sun, and island fun. Playing plenty of Jimmy Buffett favorites, they also jam out hits by Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Paul Simon, Dick Dale, Jerry Jeff Walker, and many others.
