‘Elevate the Energy’

Robert Randolph Band Headlining Otey’s Fest

Crestline Village will be hopping July 15 as Otey’s Fest Shindig returns for its 14th year.

The location for the event has been changed slightly to allow the event to grow. It will be held in the green space between the Otey’s Tavern parking lot and O’Neal Library.

Headlining this year’s festival will be the Robert Randolph Band, with Will Stewart, Gri Cashio and T.U.B. also performing for the crowd. Beverage and food tents also will be on-site.

Gates open at 6 p.m. Tickets are $125. People 20 and younger can enter free.

“We have had so much fun over the years with this event, and we wanted to see if there was a way we could elevate the energy level even more,” Otey’s Tavern owner and Otey’s Fest founder Will Haver said in a statement. “When we had the opportunity to bring someone like Robert Randolph to Otey’s, we just had to jump at it.”

The Robert Randolph Band plays a fusion of rock, funk and soul. Randolph himself is known for his skills on the pedal steel guitar. He grew up surrounded by gospel music, and his music infuses traditional gospel sounds with modern elements.

Proceeds from Otey’s Fest Shindig 2023 will benefit the Phoenix Club of Birmingham, an organization that provides developmental opportunities for young professional men to become social, business and philanthropic leaders in the community.
