August 20, 1997 was, literally, the day I moved to Sacramento. One of the single biggest and best decisions of my life. Little did I know, that 20 years later, to the day, I would get the opportunity to host a music festival–bringing together great musical minds from not only my new hometown, but from all over California. That festival is happening on Sunday, August 20, 2017: Twirl Radio Pop Fest ’17, at the wonderful Blue Note Brewing Company in Woodland, CA (just outside Sacramento).

On today’s show, we heard music from the six bands that are on the bill, and interviewed some of the performers! I strongly encourage you to attend the show, if you’re in the area. The show starts at 1:00 p.m., and you’ll see these great bands:

From L.A.: The Armoires. From Fresno: Blake Jones & the Trike Shop. From San Francisco: The Bobbleheads. From Sacramento: Gabe Nelson from Bellygunner and Cake, Natalie Cortez Band, Loose Engines.

This is an amazing collection of musical talent from all over the great state of California. If you like your quirk-pop, your psych-pop, or your Americana-pop–this festival is for you! Have a brew or a soft drink! Enjoy some tasty treats from the food truck. And most of all–enjoy this great collection of bands, all of whom are played on Twirl Radio in this family-friendly Sunday matinee show at the fine Woodland venue, the Blue Note Brewing Company.
