The land down under sends us Friday night’s headliner Andy Clockwise and his patented brand of Schizo Pop. On tour he’s supported acts like INXS and The Stranglers. This multi-instrumental Australian draws his inspiration from Charlie Chaplin, Bob Dylan and Bjork among others. Maybe so, but we think he’s totally original and the perfect way to finish off a Friday evening.
Long Beach locals who crossed the bridge for tonight’s performance promise to serve up a little 60’s psychedelica infused mix of folk pop and indie rock brashness.
High energy, glam infused local rockers White Arrows kick off the night as the sun sets at the Lobster Festival. You’ll be astonished at Mickey Schiff’s vocal range — everything from a primal snarl to a soaring falsetto.

We like to make Saturday night a big evening. This year we are going way over the top with Vaud & The Villains’ 19 piece 1930s New Orleans orchestra. It’s a show and a half…washboards, horns, dancing girls that occasionally sing, and music that you won’t believe. It’s a get up on your feet, clap your hands and dance like a fool kind of show.
This ain’t yo mama’s taiko. Oh no, not even close. The Taiko Project blends music, theater, costumes and choreography into a tsunami of sound. As pure as a tea ceremony, as fresh as hip-hop and as focused as a laser, their show will stun you with their grace and precision.
Described as “party music for coyotes drunk on champagne” He’s my Brother, She’s my Sister are among the forefront of the new folk revival. LA Deli Magazine says their mojo has the power to heal the afflicted. We don’t know about that, but we do know we feel a lot better after hearing their music. You will too…
LA based sextet Shadow Shadow Shade make their appearance as the sun wanes on Saturday afternoon. Expect to be surprised…
You may have heard them on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse soundtrack or caught their appearance on the Carson Daly show. Hailing from the City of Brotherly Love, ECC as their fans call them have climbed into your ears on shows like Melrose Place and Friday Night Lights.
Ahh the joys of guilty pleasures. Gossip Girl, The Hills, How I Met Your Mother, One Tree Hill, Jersey Shore and The City not to mention Shrek IV. We’ve never actually seen any of these shows, but the music, yep, over and over. It’s Light FM, probably the most pervasive young band to come out of Chicago in recent years.
Valley girls who sing the blues. They rock, they sweat, they move and groove. What else do you need?
The hardest working folk rocker on the LA scene. Back again after his hit show in 2010 for an encore appearance.
Timewarp R&B, big smiles, 3 part harmonies, the Damselles & TC4 promise to take you to the prom and not leave a speck of lipstick on your collar. Honest.

Fresh off their summer tour with INXS, and their Hollywood Bowl performance earlier this month, we are proud to present one of the icons of American music, BERLIN featuring Terri Nunn. In our new park setting they’ll perform all their great hits from the ’80s. So here’s your chance to see them up close and personal at the Port of Los Angeles Lobster Festival.
This is the real deal: A boogie woogie blues band. If we need to explain what that is then you are in dire need of an afternoon with Lady Dottie. She’s got what it takes to fix you right up and set you straight.
One reviewer described The Little Ones as “sounding like Vampire Weekend before the New Yorkers had even drawn blood.” We think their music is way to sunny to warrant such a dark comparison.
Dante vs. Zombies is perhaps the most original band of the weekend. They are outrageously fun to watch, but hard to categorize. The closest description we’ve heard is Mick Jagger does surf music. We know one thing, they are a dynamite way to spend the afternoon at the Lobster Festival.
USC student and blues prodigy Devon Eisenbarger is back for her second year. She grew up in Temecula, honing her talent by working festivals from the Salton Sea to San Diego, and gigging with her father whenever she could. While playing in a blues band at the NAMM Show she caught the ear of a music insider who encouraged her to sharpen her talents at USC. Devon applied for and won the coveted Ella Fitzgerald Scholarship to the Grammy Camp (as in the Grammy Awards) and is now performing at various benefits on behalf of that organization. If there ever was a rising star, it’s Devon. Come early and see her kick off Sunday’s Lobster Festival
