Bringing the Beats

You'll be dancing by the ocean all day to an incredible line up of amazing musical styles by the most talented local bands: rock classics by Kooler, pop country by Whiskey Business, Latin vibes by TRIPPYCALS, funk and soul grooves by Blase Blase,  and iconic Canadian tunes with Nautical Disaster.

1:15pm Kooler - Kooler delivers the rock classics you know and love to sing and dance along to, taking you back to the best times every time. 

2:30pm Whiskey Business - Bringing a little Nashville to the Beachlands! Whiskey Business will get you up line dancing on the beach to today’s pop rock country tunes you love.

3:45pm TRIPPYCALS - Trippycals blends Latin grooves, R&B smoothness, and funk flavor into one addictive vibe. Sofía brings the heat, Slow Mo drops fire bars, and Daniel lays down the soul. It’s not just music, it’s a trippycal state of mind.

5:00pm Blase Blase - A smooth blend of groovy jazz, funk, conscious hip-hop, and anything that vibes. Their sound ranges from high-energy to soulful. It’s all about living that blasé lifestyle and serving up pastel tunes.
