S.A.M. Summer and Music 2010
Future Legends: Now Sounds of the Long Beach Bloodline
June 12, 2010
4 p.m. – 9 p.m.
East Village Arts District

Comparable to the Saddle Creek scene in Omaha, Neb. that produced Rilo Kiley and Conor Oberst, Long Beach has its own distinct sound and armory of musicians to refine it. Future Legends: Now Sounds of the Long Beach Bloodline, as the free, all-ages June 12 event is titled, is a sampling of that very combination. Performers will play in the East Village Arts District, at First Street and Elm Avenue, on an outdoor, solar-powered stage.

Music By:
DJ Lithuanian Prince
Korey Dane
So Many Wizards
Boris Smile
Jay Buchanan
Deep Sea Diver


Special Performance by UK band Phantom Limb!
