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 […]
Atlas Genius from Australia’s down under country hit Americas Shores with one thing in mind to crack the charts here in our country and that’s exactly what they did.

The former Emo/punk rocker is now lending himself to a more Indi-Pop / Alternative Rock sound as he ventures out on his own. The former lead singer of Something […]
Third-Eye-Blind brought their famous groove-rock out of the 90’s to San Diego’s KAABOO in a way that made it sound fresh and extremely relevant. The band, forming in the early 90’s during that awesome…JUST AWESOME…time when Alternative-Rock was smashing the airwaves across America, was in tip-top shape, showing the passion that must’ve brought them together […]
I saw Sugar Ray in their heyday, back when 14:59 made fun of the claim that their 15 minutes was over, and Mark McGrath was as crazy on stage now as he was then. One of the earlier acts on the Grandview Stage at KAABOO, his Friday show saw a surprisingly large crowd for the […]
Many of my friends have accounts of their festival experiences with me and there always seems to be a standout group that just blows them away. Shovels & Rope was that band for me…hands down. But, you can’t really call them a band since there are only two of them, even though they sure sound […]
This was a wonderful year to visit the KAABOO Festival and one of the reasons was the great music which showcased some of the newest talent out there. One such show was the Future Thieves concert which also showcased the bands energy and was extremely entertaining. The crowd was appreciative and respectful of the […]
