Micah got to meet Rebelution at Burgeon Beer Company in Carlsbad for a private event. I must admit, I was a bit star struck myself, but what a great bunch of humans these men are. Thank you, guys!

And thank you to Louie, owner of Grand Slam Pizza Vista, for inviting us as his +1 and +2 πŸ™Œ πŸ€™

Last up on the Cali-RAD Fest 2025 stage to finish off the show, we were blessed by 3 great acts. Our headliner, Robert Minott, originally from JA, flew πŸ›¬ in from the ATL just to be part of this years event. He was backed by local San Diego band, (on IG) who also performed their music for 20 minutes before Robert joined in. Then, to top it off, Robert's friend, Mrpikethetruth, another artist from JA, jumped up on stage to bless us with his voice. WOW!!!

Robert, Mr. Pike, and Equal Rights Band, thank you all so much for closing out Cali-RAD Fest in amazing fashion!

Keeping the music going in between bands for the third straight year, big up uP UP to Joe ! (on IG) And joining him for the second year in a row, bringing that BOOM πŸ”₯, Ethan ! (on IG)

Both these guys spin vinyl records of old school roots and dancehall, some you know, plus many you don't. Give them a follow to find out where they'll be spinning next all around San Diego.

Thank you both for joining Cali-RAD Fest again this year. Let's keep that music spinning for years to come.

All the way from New York, and the second year in a row to perform at Cali-RAD Fest, blessings to our brother Tafar Watkis!!! Backed by his band .blaac.lionss (on IG), Tafari brings the energy to the stage with conscience roots and dancehall reggae music.

Tafari, thank you so much for being here with us. We appreciate the time you take to educate yourself about Duchenne muscular dystrophy and then sharing the info on our stage through your voice with those in attendance.

Indica Roots is the only band to have performed at Cali-RAD Fest all 4 years! We are lucky to have them riding along with us on our journey bringing awareness to Duchenne muscular dystrophy and trying to save the lives of these boys affected by it.

Guys, it has been a pleasure getting to know each of you the past few years and we are so grateful that you keep coming back.
