Presented by SoCal Acura Dealers
Want to get your groove on? Hot jamz. Cool tunes. Or just plain rockin’. We’ve got them all in a spectacular music lineup from some fantastic groups including bands back by your demand.
It’s all happening throughout our 36th Anniversary weekend. And this year, we have not one, not two, but three stages! That’s because last year we expanded the Festival grounds by 50%. So now you have more elbow room to bob your head, tap your feet, or dance your heart out.
But we aren’t stopping there. This year’s Fan Favorite Battle of the Bands Contest winner will hit the stage Saturday at 11am.
Plus, our new Stage 3 will spotlight youth bands, solo vocalists, drum circles, drum-offs, boom-shaka, music lessons, and raffle prizes. We’ve got all the right moves to help you get your groove on.

Conner Cherland
With a blend of styles from Americana, to Indie/Folk, to Soul music, Conner Cherland’s voice compares with present day singers like Hozier, Ed Sheeran, and Shakey Graves. Combined with his live guitar looping and carefully chosen lyrics, you’re likely to wonder how so many sounds can come from just one man.
Road Brothers
Oxnard born and raised, Andre Flores is on lead guitar, and Julien Martinez is lead vocalist of this amazing blues/rock band. They’ve been jammin’ together since 8th grade and they were selected as the winner of last year’s Berry Battle of the Bands contest, and they’re back by popular demand. Their influences include The Doors, Stevie Ray Vaughn, The Black Angels, Kings of Leon, and Jimi Hendrix.
Angelo Arce
Angelo Arce is a singer, pianist, songwriter, and producer based in Los Angeles. His singing style can be compared to velvet-voiced R&B crooners like Sam Cooke, Donnie Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and John Legend.
Phil Medina and Friends Comedy Hour
Phil was born and raised in Madera, CA, and throughout his school days he was the class clown. He got on stage reluctantly in 2009 and has been on it ever since!
Peter Blackwelder
Peter Blackwelder is a modern violinist who specializes in contemporary styles of music including Americana, Pop, Country, and Rock. He has been teaching violin for the past 10 years, incorporating classical fundamentals with other genres to make a fun and exciting journey learning how to play music.
