Bottlerocked
Bottlerock For the 7th year since it’s inception, I attended the Bottlerock Music Festival, in Napa, CA. And for the first time, I was not immediately impressed with the lineup (listed below). For one, I’d already seen all three headliners. What’s worse, Imagine Dragons had already headlined Bottlerock (2015). Still, like any festival I attend,…

KAABOO
The second annual KAABOO festival in Del Mar, CA, offered an intriguing, if not scattered lineup. I was skeptical before going, given that last year’s festival was such an amazing surprise of a lineup. This year’s headliners included Jimmy Buffett, Aerosmith, Fall Out Boy, and Jack Johnson. While not a huge fan of this, I’d…
