Carson City gets some local flavor when False Rhythms brings reggae rock the free Levitt AMP Concert Series hosted by the Brewery Arts Center on Saturday.
The 21-and-over event features 17 bands with exclusive performances with headliners Pigeons Playing Ping Pong with Karl Denson and Jackie Greene with Eric Lindell, and The Wood Brothers.
“You can’t fight that beat. Once it starts pounding away and dropping — it starts with the tapping, then it moves up to your hips ,then you know it’s going from dancing to full on noodling.”
He said it was the lightest crowd that they’ve seen pretty much ever in Quincy and heat was a big factor.
The festival was the hottest High Sierra on record in Quincy with an average of 100.3 degrees over the four days, according to the National Weather Service.
“I think one of the best things about our band is you can look at any one of us during a show and be thoroughly entertained.”
“We talk about Carson City all the time as one of the best audiences we’ve ever had the opportunity to play for."
The family-friendly festival, set for July 4-7, has camping, food trucks, merchandise vendors and more.
The free concert kicks off Saturday at 7 p.m. at the corner of King and Minnesota streets with opening band The Kilowatt Hours.
As a complete part of any balanced diet, Taste of Downtown also includes live music to help satisfy your palette of entertainment. Your choices on the menu include Top 40 and classic rock with Hale Mari, or you can enjoy Nevada 445 and its blend of country music. There will be two stages both on Carson Street, with both bands playing simultaneously about 0.3 miles away from each other, so there isn’t any noise interference. The music runs from 5:30 to 10 p.m. with a couple of breaks for the bands.
