Norwood Fisher, bass player and founding member of Fishbone, said, "I'm filled with gratitude that life's course has brought us to the reunification of the classic Fishbone lineup! We all recognize that there was a time when it seemed so unlikely that we'd reach this point, and that fuels a personal excitement when we're hitting the stage. It's ultra-appropriate that we're reconnecting with our friends at 91X91X was there for us at the earliest stages of our career, and it's bad ass that we can party with them now! Now, add to that the fact that the good homies Slightly Stoopid are topping the bill!?!? Sounds like some hell-raising is in order for sure!"

But, I think we may have topped it, and I couldn't be more stoked about what we've curated. There's nothing better than a summer day next to San Diego Bay, with great music, tasty food, and an incredible group of participating breweries. I can't wait for June 23rd to arrive. See you at Waterfront Park!"

Ye Scallywag, 2017 Recap

Saturday October 21st marked the return of one of my favorite events, Ye Scallywag, an all day fest featuring beer, food, and punk rock music.  Whenever an event is a huge success, it leaves one to wonder, will it be just as awesome the next time?  Ye Scallywag's second year definitely did not disappoint.  Held again at the picture perfect Waterfront Park, located adjacent to the San Diego Bay, the idyllic setting was a perfect backdrop to a fun-filled afternoon.  

Eager crowd!

Over the course of the afternoon, into the evening, an epic lineup of rad musicians took the stage in front of festival attendees.  This year's lineup at Ye Scallywag included Western Settings, the Adolescents, Strung Out, Lagwagon, the Vandals, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, along with Pennywise.

Along with an outstanding lineup of music, setting, and venue, once again this year, there was a fantastic selection of beers and food to choose from throughout Ye Scallywag.
While having a large selection of beers to choose from is always a good thing, the lineup of music was just as great, and probably the main reason most people chose to attend the fest.

Ye Scallywag Recap

Beer + Live Music + San Diego = an EPIC day.



Saturday October 21st marked the debut of the inaugural Ye Scallywag fest which featured beer, wine, food, and music.
Ever since I first heard whisperings about Ye Scallywag, I have been beyond excited.  

As a native San Diegan, I knew the venue for the event, the Waterfront Park, would be a picture perfect setting.  Who wouldn't want to spend the day soaking up some California sunshine near the Pacific Ocean?


Throughout the day, live music was performed by an outstanding lineup which appealed to a wide variety of musical tastes. From up and coming bands such as the Bombpops and Wakrat, to legendary bands such as Reel Big Fish, Against Me!, Goldfinger, Bad Religion, and NOFX.

Against Me!

NOFX


Goldfinger

Goldfinger and Reel Big Fish

Bad Religion
 Besides the amazing music, setting, and venue there were also an abundance of beers, wine, and food to sample throughout the event. A wide variety of vendors also had booths set up selling merchandise.

Cheers!

While I love beer, the highlight for me were the bands that performed throughout the day. I've had the opportunity to see many of the bands who played previously, and was not disappointed. Each of the bands had a tremendous amount of energy and genuinely appeared to be having just as much fun, if not a bit more, than the eager crowds gathered in the area near the stage.


Thanks to Synergy Global Entertainment (SGE), Brew Ha Ha Productions, and radio stations 91X and KFM-BFM for putting together an epic day.  I am already looking forward to next year's Ye Scallywag!

Ye Scallywag


I am SO excited for this year's debut of Ye Scallywag!, a day-long music, craft beer, wine, and food festival, to take place on Saturday October, 22nd at Waterfront Park in San Diego, CA.  Produced by premier musical festival production company Synergy Global Entertainment (SGE), Orange County, California's most successful and respected craft beer festival producer Brew Ha Ha Productions, San Diego's leading alternative radio station 91X, and California's top rock radio station KFM-BFM, the festival will feature over 100 craft breweries and artisan wineries, along with a full day of music led by NOFX and Bad Religion.

"Scallywag! will be unlike any legitimate craft beer or wine event ever produced," says Ye Scallywag! co-producer Cameron Collins of Brew Ha Ha Productions.  "We are bringing in some of the most sought after and award winning breweries in the country as well as some incredible wineries from Paso Robles, the Napa Valley, Central Coast and beyond all set to the music of artists like Bad Religion.  We've really got something special here!"

91X's Halloran adds, "Ye Scallywag! will be the perfect San Diego event to make one truly grateful for this wondrous California lifestyle.  The craftiness of the beer, wine, food and bands will prove that indeed, San Diego has the best.  I am looking forward to an amazing day."

Fat Mike of musical headliner NOFX says, "When I started NOFX in 1983 I dreamed of being a scallywag one day, at least by the time I was 50.  Well, not only am I a scallywag, but I'm also playing the Scallywag Festval!  
P.S. What's a scallywag? Is that like being a pirate?"

Some of the breweries participating include: Left Coast Brewing, Mikkeller SD, Modern Times, Coronado Brewing, Fall Brewing, Good Beer Co, Figueroa Mountain Brewing, Ska Brewing, Artifex Brewing, Bottle Logic, Burning Beard, Chapman Brewing, Bootleggers Brewing, 101 Ciderhouse and many more!

I know where I'll be on October 22nd, what about you?  Tickets are available while supplies last here.
