Strolling by the sun soaked and breezy Intracoastal yesterday it was easy to detect which SunFest attendees were waiting for Life In Color to begin. The “World’s Largest Paint Party,” a five-hour rave set featuring chart-topping DJs and 400 gallons of neon (water soluble) paint, was...
I could not wait for the gates to open Saturday morning so I could grab a spot to see one of my favorite U.K. rock bands. I had previewed The Chevin prior to their SunFest debut as one of the acts not to miss during...
Saturday's bill of classic rock and roll on the festival's Tire Kingdom Stage ended with a headlining performance by Cheap Trick, and there was no better choice to cap off the evening. The nearly 40-year-running group's brand of hard-driving power pop is simply timeless. Anthemic...
