Saturday
DAYTIME MOON is a high-energy indie pop-punk band. Don’t be alarmed when they bust out some reggae or some folky tunes to get the party started. They do what they want and we all love it.
This band is like no other.
Hailing from the quiet hi desert of Joshua Tree/Morongo Basin, the quartet has stood out amongst others since 2009 featuring different lineups and member changes. Fronted by the charismatic lead singer Brent Simpson(who also plays for Spankshaft and Los Simpbroskis) on guitar and harmonica, bassist/vocalist/lifelong friend Daniel Hovis adds soothing harmonies. Kevin Patterson (Cali Celts, Warsaw Poland Bros) is an animal behind the drum kit and Stephen Hubbell transcends different percussive sounds on the handsonic, tambourine, and many other instruments. This is a live show you don’t want to miss!
Daytime Moon has a new album “You are the Dusk, I am the Dawn”
released on www.daytimemoon.Bandcamp.com
As well as on Spotify and Apple Music and every other streaming platform! Listen now!
Singer/songwriter MATT DAVIN has been performing in the Coachella Valley for over twenty years. You can find him any day of the week at numerous restaurants, hotels, and private events. With heavy influence from artists like John Mayer and Dave Matthews, his rhythmic acoustic style is bolstered with a warm and vast vocal range. You can find his first solo release “1944” on all major streaming platforms.
After a 4 year hiatus, the BROSQUITOS are ready to take on live shows & songs in the fall of 2021! Original members; Hugo Chavez, John Clark, Max Powell & James Johnson have made an indie-pop culture surrounding the band. After the first release of their album, “Vinyl Image”, the band hit the road in a string of shows & topped regional indie-pop charts from 2016-2018. Now - the band has even more energy, influence, and inspiration to bring the same electric indie-pop sounds along with brand new anthems.
LEFT ON RED was established in the Bay Area during an impromptu jam session on a Tuesday afternoon in September 2021. We love playing acoustic covers from all genres of music and can’t wait to share it with the community!
