The Struts hit the stage right on time and from the outset it was apparent that this band was the real deal. I for one had never seen this band live but had heard their single “IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME” and their latest one “KISS THIS” from their new album EVERYBODY WANTS. What I […]
This year, as did the previous year, KAABOO featured a diverse selection of artists. One of those featured artists this year was the incomparable Orianthi. At first most people may have only been impressed by her looks. Of course that was only until they heard her amazing guitar skills. Now I’ve seen her play many […]
The KaaBoo Festival in beautiful Del Mar, California was the setting for a joyous afternoon of great music. If you were lucky enough to be there on Sunday September 18th you got to witness some of the finest musicians ever to grace the Trestles stage, including the brilliant songs from the Blues Traveler band. John […]
It’s been a decade since the familiar voice of Steven Tyler has graced the ears of San Diegans, and leave it to the only mix-perience of it’s kind around, KAABOO Del Mar, to bring the legendary Aerosmith back to the most southern tip of California. There were thousands of people crowding around the Sunset Cliffs […]
As the members of Collective Soul took the stage you could feel the electricity in the air. The crowd was screaming with excitement when they kicked it off with “Heavy” a Monster Riff driven song from the 1999 album Dosage. Keep the heavy power chords coming and start into the song “Why PT.2” from 2000’s […]
The Parrot head’s appeared to be dancing and swaying before the music even started, but maybe that was because of the copious amounts of alcohol consumed on day one of KAABOO Del Mar, where a crazy San Diego week’s end demanded a touch of the tropics. Jimmy Buffett and The Coral Reefer band were sure […]
The younger set came out in force at KAABOO this year to support Indie-Rock stars Cold War Kids. The band did not disappoint. Starting off the concert with 2014’s release “All this could be yours” from the album Hold my Home, gave the audience a chance to pump their fist and chant the repetitious chorus […]
Recent Hall of Fame inductees Hall & Oates played at the second annual KAABOO Festival and did not disappoint. The crowd went nuts as soon as they hit the stage with the opening song “MANEATER” and the crowd was into it big time. The moment that song was finished they went right into “Your Kiss”, […]
KAABOO Del Mar’s second year had somewhat of a 90’s reunion on Saturday, featuring many styles and sounds to come out of my generation’s creative minds. One of my favorite groups to come out of the Alternative Rock explosion was Gin Blossoms, and I was super stoked to have the opportunity to FINALLY hear them […]
Gavin DeGraw hasn’t made a major chart-topper in awhile, but you wouldn’t know it when the crowd gathered in front of then Trestle’s stage at KAABOO. It first looked like hundreds, then out of nowhere…seconds before the lights came on, the crowd ballooned to a couple thousands fans, packed in like sardines, standing around in […]
