Sage

Stevens Building Lot
6:00-7:00pm and 7:30-8:30pm

Sponsored by SunWize

Beginning their musical quest in 1969, Sage started the journey, never taking the typical path, staying true to the mission of playing good R&B funk and soul. From the early 70's to its present form, Sage has maintained the eight-piece member format for that big, full sound they like to deliver at live performances. Although based in San Jose, CA, it was obvious from the beginning the solid rhythm section and blasting horn section felt the funk and soul influences of the East Bay.



Slingtown Band

Minnesota Avenue Stage

Slingtown’s blend of vocal and song writing talents have forged them an unprecedented country sound that has an addictive quality for anyone that listens to it. Concentrating on 7-part harmony and acoustic texturing, Slingtown continually wows the crowd with that crisp country sound of harmony and intricate rhythms that will soon become their trademark in a new generation of country crossover music.
