No Voodoo Here

Shifting the atmosphere with a fusion of roots, reggae, and psychedelia, No Voodoo Here’s evolution from a Jimi Hendrix tribute band into a creator of original, spiritually-charged music adds a richly textured layer to the line-up. Founded by John Glaspie in 2018, the group remains passionate about synthesizing the vibrant influences of 60s psychedelic rock with the soulful cadence of reggae legends like Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. Their unique sound transports listeners through a kaleidoscope of grooves and reveries, preserving Hendrix’s experimental spirit while carving a distinct identity. No Voodoo Here’s presence promises to deepen the night’s sonic palette, inviting audiences to indulge in music that’s both reflective and rhythmically compelling.

Jonny Ransom

Raised in Southern California with a reverence for blues icons such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton, Ransom channels these influences into searing guitar work and soulful vocals that pulse with emotional honesty. As the frontman of the Jonny Ransom Band, he delivers performances imbued with the authenticity and edge of traditional blues fused with contemporary hooks, bridging generations effortlessly.

His set is sure to captivate listeners seeking electrifying musicianship and heartfelt storytelling.

Ridiculous Thoughts Cranberries Tribute

Closing the night, Ridiculous Thoughts pays homage to the distinctive sound and emotional depth of The Cranberries in a way that honors the band’s legacy while bringing fresh life to their music. Fronted by Yasmine, whose personal connection to Dolores O’Riordan’s voice adds profound authenticity, the group’s multi-instrumental lineup crafts a lush, expansive soundscape complete with live strings for that unmistakable Cranberries texture. Their repertoire goes beyond hits like “Linger” and “Zombie,” shining a light on the band’s depth and songwriting prowess.
