  • For the past three years now, over the months of May and June, The Pier has set out across the US to attend several of the most notable music festivals of the summer. This year, after hours and hours of driving, after watching many minutes of live music spread along an 8000-mile journey that circled coast to coast, one event has sincerely stood out from the rest to become a new favorite festival…READ MORE

    Line Up: Mike Pinto, The Sindicate, The Mystic Arrows, and The Lights
    Venue: Nectar Lounge. Fremont, Seattle, Washington

  • Although Mike has previously performed with members of the Slightly Stoopid horns section, he does just as well on his own! Songs that include horns on the recording (like many from the latest album, “Truthful Lies”) still sound great live without a full band. Listening to just Mike play acoustic allows fans to see his true talent and creativity in using an upbeat guitar, soothing voice, and his unique storytelling ability…READ MORE

The unforgiving thorns of the blackberry bushes create a natural security fence and a delicious summer snack. Tents and RVs filled the surrounding area around a few food trucks and vendor booths. In true Washington fashion, the beer garden was placed next to the dab booth from Pacific NW Roots and Alchemy Labs. Not surprisingly, parked next to the dab booth were Josh Heinrichs and Skillinjah who were enjoying the scenery, visiting new friends, and killing time before their set later that night…READ MORE

    Line Up: Collie Buddz, Stephen Marley, Tribal Seeds, The Movement & Expanders Sound System
    Venue: Avila Beach Resort. Avila Beach, CA

  • The inaugural Rootfire at the Beach was one of the summer’s hottest concerts. Taking place along Avila Beach, California, the mini festival featured the likes of Collie Buddz, Stephen Marley and Tribal Seeds. Talking to Rootfire founder Seth Herman before the event, he stressed the importance of setting and healthy living as inspirations for the festival. The beach-side venue along the central coast delivered on that front but it was the artists who took center stage….READ MORE

    Line Up: Slightly Stoopid, Dirty Heads, and Stick Figure (Everything Is Awesome Tour)

The Pier’s own Blake Taylor and myself were granted access to the photo pit, backstage, and after-party for the full tour experience. When making the rounds talking to as many fans as possible, everyone seemed to echo our same sentiment… Everything Is AwesomeREAD MORE
