SUMMER CAMP 2015 OFFICIAL GUIDE | 1
F
Welcome to the 15th Annual Summer Camp Music Festival
ifteen Years!! Hard to believe when we started this little festival it would turn into the amazing experience it has become. Thank you so much for your love and support over all these years!! And we could not be happier than to be celebrating with a legendary performer like The Steve Miller Band! What an honor to welcome them to our festival. The only time I have had the pleasure of seeing Steve Miller Band before was with The Grateful Dead, so fitting that he is a part of our celebration of the 50 year anniversary of the Dead. Be sure to catch the special performances by Floodwood, Keller Williams and Grateful Grass, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, and moe’s tribute to The Dead with Bruce Hornsby. Very excited to have many of the artists who have been a part of these last 15 years back with us, and of course some new faces as well. Thanks for joining us and let’s make this 15 year anniversary celebration one to remember!! - Ian Goldberg, Jay Goldberg Events and Entertainment

ack again by popular demand the Soulshine Tent will be bringing you a daily dose of loving goodness to empower, inspire, and educate you with the tools for a sustainable world! Daily workshops, live bands and discussions will be alongside ongoing demonstrations, live art, and active education. Be sure to check out each day’s schedule starting with morning yoga and hooping courses!
Permaculture Corner
Permaculture is the science of applied ecological design that explicitly supports the care of the earth, the care of people and redistributes surplus. It is fundamentally based in abundance. Through working with nature, rather than against, permaculture allows us to creatively redesign our environment and behaviors in a world of less energy and resource needs by building individual and community sovereignty. It is also really fun! Come join the Permaculture Corner as we demonstrate aquaponics systems, companion planting, cob building, compost techniques, and host workshops where you can get down and dirty. There will be experts on hand throughout the weekend ready to answer any questions and help you plan your garden space when you get back home!
RelaxSonic
relax-sonic.com relaxSonic pilots The Sonic Portal, a psychedelic UFO style entertainment complex where audience members lounge inside while our crew perform around them 360 degrees. The sound chamber houses a collection of gongs with a full spectrum of digital and acoustic instruments producing a remarkable one of a kind auditory experience. Once fans have entered the portal, our sonic sculptors shape the sound field by playing soothing light sequences. The result is a multitude of frequencies that dance throughout the participant’s body gently blanketing them in a symphony of deeply powerful and mesmerizing vibrations not only heard but felt by the audience.

They also get perks like watching their top 3 performances side stage, the chance to introduce moe., and a private performance by Summer Camp artists at their campsite. In exchange for these perks, they share their experience with the Summer Camp community through blogs, photos and videos. Our Counselor team is always growing and evolving, make sure to stay on the lookout for the 2016 application for your chance at a behind the scenes looks at Summer Camp!

If you want a traditional rock and roll concert, you’ve come to the wrong place. An Umphrey’s McGee show is anything but the standard radio your neighbor’s dad played on carpool trips home from soccer practice. To lay it straight, Umphrey’s McGee is a dynamic progressive rock band (try and describe that to a six-year old), but to limit their style into any single genre im-
mediately does injustice to the unpredictability of any Umphrey’s McGee set. Look no further than last year’s Saturday night second set at Summer Camp,
when they jammed on top of the soundboard with keyboards and drum pads, and then later seamlessly switched out the full band with fellow headliners moe. in the midst of a song. Everyone appreciates Notre Dame football, but if the university were to be known for just one fact, it should be for hosting the immaculate conception of Umphrey’s McGee in 1998. Umphrey’s has since pioneered the jam scene and emerge as music innovators, a national headlining act (including every Summer Camp since ’03), and on occasion, a funny YouTube video.

and guitarmanship. With the dueling yet partnering guitar shreds of Jake Cinninger, the duo will take you to places you never thought imaginable from a rock show. Kris Myers proves himself nightly to be the hardest man in show business behind his fiercely attractive drum set, fluidly complimented by Andy Farag’s afro and otherworldy percussion skills. Joel Cummins brings 6 (sometimes 7) keyboards to wizard up all sorts of magical melodies and untz. The man in the middle, possibly with a rattail, Ryan Stasik (bass, no vocals) lays the bassline down thick & sexy enough to make Aunt Jemima blush. Throw in the jawdropping production of Lighting Designer’s Jefferson Waful’s visual experience, and you’ll understand what the Umphreaks mean by “facemelt.” See you at the Sunshine Stage, and bonus points if you can spot each Star Wars figure. -Alex Diacula

Widespread Panic
SUN 7:00pm – 8:00pm Sunshine Stage SUN 9:00pm – 10:30pm Sunshine Stage
Widespread Panic formed at the University of Georgia in 1981 where John Bell and Michael Houser would begin collaborating on what is now some classic Panic originals. Named after Houser’s once-frequent panic attacks, the band Widespread Panic would play their first show together at a charity event in At h e n s , GA on February 6th, 1986. F r o m t h e r e t h e y would play at Un i v e r sity of Georgia fraternities as well as local bars before Pa n i c signed w i t h Landslide records in 1987. Once Widespread Panic started to play what is considered a now-legendary series of one dollar Monday night shows at the Uptown
Lounge in Athens, GA local press had no choice but to take notice in the bands musical virtuosity and professionalism. Later that same year they would record their first album, Space Wrangler featuring classics like “Coconut,” “Space Wrangler,” “Porch Song,” and “Driving Song.” The more the band toured, the more they were met with change in their lineup. John Hermann replaced T. Lavitz on Keyboards, Michael

Krewella
FRI 9:00pm-10:00pm Moonshine Stage
Krewella is an electronic dance music duo with a strong following based out of Chicago, IL. The duo formed in 2007 and consists of sisters Jahan Yousaf and Yasmine Yousaf. Originally a trio, their third member and producer Kristopher “Rain Man” Trindi resigned in 2014. The three met as s t u dents at Glenbrook North H i g h S cho ol, a n d eventually got “6-8-10” tattoos to commemorate June 8th, 2010, the day they agreed to give up their careers, and schooling to dedicate all of their time to music. Their musical style touches upon house, dubstep, techno, drum and bass and much more. In June of 2012 Krewella released their EP
Play Hard which rose to #1 on Billboard’s Dance Radio Airplay chart and the single placed on the Pop Radio Airplay charts. Their debut album “Get Wet” soon charted in the Top 10 of Billboards Hot 200 in it’s first week. It will be interesting to see what Krewella brings to Summer Camp Music Festival after having earned the 2012 International
Dance Music Award for “Best Breakthrough Artist” by headlining EDM festivals around the globe like Spring Awakening, Electric Daisy Carnival and Ultra Music Festival. For a matter of fact, after their per-

that evening. The rest is history. The Violent Femmes are the most successful alternative rock band of the 80’s, having sold over 9 million records. Their first self-titled album reached platinum status in August of 1991, eight years after it’s debut. They utilized drummer Guy Hoffman for most of the nineties. After a brief hiatus they returned to performing live in 2013 with Dresden Dolls drummer Brian Vigilone. Since them they have played a number of festival and high profile show dates. The music of The Violent Femmes is timeless. Their sound is part new wave, part Americana, all punk. Numerous bands including Pink, Keith Urban, and The Pixies have claimed the Violent Femmes as an influence. Though many of the songs from their first album Violent Femmes remain their most popular, they have continued to push their own musical boundaries regularly. The songs from their expansive catalog fall into every genre including country and gospel. It is truly an honor to welcome the Violent Femmes to Summer Camp 2015. - Nicholas Stock
