June 1, 2010

The Casualties Every year in the first week of July since 1995 The Hootenanny has been drawing a large diverse crowd of rock-a-billies, Punks, and hot-rod enthusiasts from all over California. The past 15 years have provided all-star line-ups including bands such as The Cramps, The Reverend Horton Heat, The Stray Cats, Social Distortion, Flogging Molly, Joe Strummer, Tiger Army, and many more.

This year’s show promises to be one for the record books. Rock N Roll icons Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry will be sharing the stage with supporting acts The Old 97’s, Throw Rag, Nick 13 (Tiger Army), Koffin Kats, 3 Bad Jacks, Shooter Jennings and many more. While there is a line-up up of nearly 20 bands, this event isn’t only about the music! There will be tons booths selling everything from sugar skull art to rock-a-billy clothing and accessories, a pin-up contest, and most notably a huge car show!

Oak Canyon Ranch in Orange County is a beautiful venue complete with shade trees and ponds. If you love Hot Rods, hot women, cold beer, and great music, this will be a great way to spend you 4th of July weekend!
