No Voodoo Here brings an intoxicating fusion of roots, psychedelic vibes, and reggae-inflected grooves that expand rock’s traditional boundaries. Then there’s Jonny Ransom, a blues-rock savant whose guitar lines and deep reverence for the genre’s legends channel the raw soul of the Mississippi Delta into a modern context. Completing the evening is Ridiculous Thoughts, a Cranberries tribute band that delivers an authentic homage with stirring vocals and live strings, grounding the event in rock’s emotive storytelling tradition. Together, these artists weave a vivid sonic tapestry that celebrates the enduring life of rock n roll.
