29 www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.ILoveMountPleasant.com | www.BestOfMP.com going out Taxi, Big Something and Hiss Golden Messenger are also scheduled to perform over the two days. Rebelution and Stephen Marley - June 28 When a Marley is on the marque, you know you are in for some authentic tunes blazing with Rasta power. There’s no doubt breezes wafting off the harbor will add greatly to the soul rebel magic happening on stage. Slightly Stoopid, Stick Figure and Pepper - July 20 If ever there was a soundtrack to summer, these three provide it. Each band serves up surf songs, with a distinct reggae twist, that go down smoother than frosty Pain Killers. The Grove at Patriots Point Umphrey’s McGee with Perpetual Groove - May 31 Undeniable heavy hitters on the jam band scene, these two go together like organic almond butter and blackberry jelly. Serving crowds an improvisational feast of crescendoing chord progression, jazz, funk and even a sprinkling of metal, these two always deliver. Come see them in a venue that offers slightly more scenery and greenery than the average bar, club or arena. Volvo Car Stadium Tedeschi Trucks Band - July 1 With roaring whiskey-honey vocals that have the ability to stop you in your tracks, Susan Tedeschi proves she is all woman and equal parts powerhouse. Backed by a band whose musicianship breaks all bounds, a Tedeschi Trucks gig is one guaranteed to shake you to your core. The awesomeness continues with the stellar news that progressive Southern rockers Drive-By Truckers and beloved psychedelic rockers The Marcus King Band will also be joining this talented tribe for a night of unrelenting soundscapes. Boy George & Culture Club, The B-52s and The Thompson Twins - July 20 It’s always said that good things come in threes, and we can’t think of a better trio that truly epitomizes a decade of parachute pants quite like this one. Come see these ’80s icons in all their neon eye-shadow glory. Grab your Aqua Net and witness this trifecta as you sing along to “Karma Chameleon,” “Love Shack” and “Hold Me Now.” Jason Mraz - Aug. 15 With hits like “You and I,” “I’m Yours” and my personal old-school favorite, “The Remedy,” Mraz has gained a loyal following addicted to his clean-living variety of singer-songwriter rock. From lending his voice to charitable causes like the AIDS Foundation and the Special Olympics, this performer is certainly walking the walk.
