On Saturday, May 21, during Rhody Weekend, enjoy live outdoor music on the Rock Truck and fresh local beer from the Rusty Truck during Homegrown’s Rhody Underground. Things will start at 3 p.m. with some Bollywood Fusion dancing. Bollywood Fusion, a very colorful, exuberant and aerobic dance, is based on Bollywood films from India. The music is an upbeat combo of belly dance, modern jazz and Hindi folk dance. At 4 p.m., local favorite Speaker Wave will be be on the Rock Truck. Speaker Wave is an Oregon coast-based rock trio com- prised of musicians Kevin Wolpoff (lead guitar and vocals) Jeremy Scott Anderson (bass, keyboards, cornet and vocals) and Vince Hendricks- Davis (drums). Their musical style is largely rock influenced but draws from 60s psychedelia, 70s funk, reg- gae, jazz and soul. Their inter- mingling influences, laid back west-coast vibe and occasional coastal inspired lyrics, urged them to coin the term “Jam Surf Rock” to describe their music style. With Speaker Wave, prepare for high-energy, danceable show that gets you up and keeps you up. Next, 100 Watt Mind from Ashland, Ore., will take to the Rock Truck stage. What makes 100 Watt work is that they’ve created a sound all their own. At the same time, rock music lovers of all ages can enjoy the music played from the 60s to 2010s. During all the music, enjoy a beer poured from the Rusty Truck Brewing from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. The Lincoln City-based brewery use only the best pos- sible natural ingredients and old fashioned hands-on brew- ing methods to make small batches of unique, distinctive and great tasting brews.
