Live Music Is Back At Eclectic Lawn Featuring Four Performances Of ‘Adventurous Music By The Beach’

Carlsbad Music Festival is kicking off its return to live music with the Eclectic Lawn, a one-day mini-festival featuring four performances of “adventurous music by the beach”, happening on Saturday, June 26 from 4PM to 8PM on the lawn at St. Michael’s By-The-Sea.

This concert’s eclectic mixes ranges from psychedelic dream pop, to bilingual tropical surf dance, to a cello and kora (West African instrument in the harp family) duo, to surf soul jazz, all taking place steps from the beach.

Dani Bell and the Tarantist

For an artist who sings with vulnerability and introspection, Dani Bell offers scarce hints of a persona through her performance with Dani Bell and the Tarantist. On stage, the singer’s face is partly concealed by a feathered commedia dell’arte mask, which she procured in the Venice Republic. Her body reveals only a compulsive devotion to the music, the possessed dancing ecstasy of a tarantist.

Dani Bell and the Tarantist return to the Carlsbad Music Festival with their psychedelic dream pop sound.

Salt Petal

Los Angeles-based collective Salt Petal invigorates audiences and critics alike with a tropical surf-dance sound in a category all its own.

Talking Strings

Talking Strings is a duo of cellist Peter Jacobson and kora (West African harp-like instrument) player Keenan Webster.

The Red Fox Tails

Since the band’s inception in 2010, The Red Fox Tails have brought their unique-relaxed yet spirited sound to venues across Southern California and Baja.

Mark your calendars:

Happening on Saturday, June 26 from 4PM to 8PM.

See you there….and stay healthy, San Diego!
