The Ohana Fest returns to Doheny State Beach, beginning Friday afternoon, Sept 28^th through Sunday, Sept. 30^th. Tickets are still available for an ever-growing amazing line-up of music at TheOhanaFest.com.

Three years ago, Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder and the surfing world’s #1 surfer, Kelly Slater, decided to create a music festival at Doheny Beach – Ohana Fest – because they love surfing there and at nearby Trestles.

It’s rumored that Vedder and Slater are still engaged in the selection of musicians for their own festival, and this has proven to be the most surprising, eclectic and stellar music festival I’ve witnessed in a long time. There is no “theme” here as is usual in festivals today – you may hear pop on one stage, followed by country on the next stage, and techno following on another stage.

While there are “giants” performing every day, it’s the up-and-comers you really want to pay attention to. Most of these people have amazing backstories – stuff you just don’t hear about in a normal person’s life – and many stand as testament to surviving extraordinary odds. They’re all awesome talents, to boot.
