Headlining the event is multi-Grammy award winning drummer of the Foo Fighters Taylor Hawkins. Hawkins will be headlining the event with his rock cover band Chevy Metal to support the Mauli Ola Foundation. Chevy Metal has played Saturday Night Live with Mick Jagger and David Grohl and plays local clubs in Laguna with Joan Jett. Hawkins was raised in Laguna and is always a crowd pleaser in the area.

The main stage is filled with local performers such as Nick I from Common Sense and local favorite, MoonShine.
The event’s VIP show will have a plethora of acts on the restricted access stage. The acts playing for the VIP stage will include more locals such as Andrew Corradini and DJ SLi Dawg. This exclusive access performance will be headlined by Paul Mars Black and Ukulele Bartt Warburton together performing as Black and Bartt.
In addition to all the great music there will but a showcase of Laguna’s fine art. Silent actions will be held for the displayed pieces from the local artist as well as the world-renowned artist.
All the proceeds from this event will go towards the Mauli Ola Foundation (MOF). The Mauli Ola Foundation began as a group of surfers who band together to introduce surfing as a natural treatment to people with cystic fibrosis.
Since 2007, Mauli Ola has taken nearly 1,300 CF patients surfing at nearly 100 Surf Experience Days and now expands its reach with hospital visits and other activities that touch the lives of kids with cancer and a variety of other health challenges.
In 2010, MOF was awarded The Agent of Change Award by SURFER Magazine for its positive contributions and example to the surfing community.
This is going to be a night of spectacular music in combination with Laguna’s fine art, and feel good cause. It is definitely an event that shouldn’t be missed and not much better ways to enjoy a Southern California evening.
