Live At Lagunitas: Lineup Announced For Annual Summer Concert Series

PETALUMA, CA— Lagunitas Brewing Company’s annual live music season officially starts June 26 and benefits Best Friends Animal Society.

The Live at Lagunitas concert series features a diverse line-up of bands:

• June 26: Ozomatli, a three-time GRAMMYⓇ Award-winning band plays a lively mash-up of salsa, jazz, funk, reggae, rap and several types of Latin music: tropical genres like merengue and cumbia, Mexican styles like norteño and Jamaican ska and reggae, all mixed with a heavy dose of hip-hop and funk.
• July 31: Heartless Bastards unlock healing and catharsis through their music with a warm patchwork of rock ‘n’ roll, psychedelia, folk, alternative, and blues.
• Aug. 1: Chicano Batman is a quartet of ethnomusicologists that draw upon a broad range of 60s and 70s influences.
• Sept. 12: The Stone Foxes have an energetic style that's rooted in swampy, foot-stomping rock with music ranging from acoustic twang to thunderous electric-guitar riffs. Jackie Venson is a multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter known far and wide for her complexly beautiful music and blazing guitar skills.
• Sept. 19: North Mississippi AllStars, a blues and southern rock band, has 13 albums and 4 GRAMMY® Award nominations.
• Sept. 26: Super secret guest to be announced Sept. 5.

"We’re excited to host our musician and live show-lovin’ friends for our 11th annual season," said Paige Guzman, Lagunitas’ chief marketing officer. "Best of all, we’re continuing to turn tunes and beers into money for a cause."

Lagunitas will donate 100 percent of net proceeds from tickets sold — up to $30,000 — to Best Friends Animal Society.

"We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Lagunitas and look forward to the continued support they provide to save the lives of dogs and cats across America," said Candi Maciel, director of corporate partnerships for Best Friends Animal Society.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased online three weeks before each show. Every guest must be 21 or older with a valid ID. For each event, the doors open at 4:20 p.m. at the LaguMiniAmphitheaterette, which is situated among the Lagunitas Brewery & Beer Sanctuary at 1280 N. McDowell Blvd. in Petaluma.

Dogs are always welcome at Lagunitas’ Petaluma TapRoom but because of crowds and sensitive ears, only licensed service dogs are permitted at the LaguMiniAmpitheaterette and music performances.
