San Diego Coastkeeper announced Monday its 5th annual Ocean Commotion Concert will be held Saturday, April 30.
The event at Campland on the Bay celebrates the region’s aquatic playgrounds and raises money to protect and restore water quality and supply.
“Ocean Commotion is a celebration of our water,” said San Diego Coastkeeper Interim Executive Director Travis Pritchard. “Local musicians, businesses, families and friends put things on hold for a night to celebrate what makes San Diego so great: our fishable, swimmable, drinkable water.”
Beer will be served by local breweries and the stage remains in earshot of beach access to iconic Mission Bay. Attendees have the option to stay the night at Campland in a tent or RV.
Oceanside’s The Barnwell Shift will headline the show. Known for their progressive, yet playful “shift rock,” The Barnwell Shift is a trio of musicians who shift musical instruments and genres while artfully blending the sounds of funk, folk and rock.
Together, The Barnwell Shift and San Diego Coastkeeper started Ocean Commotion five years ago to unite musicians for a cause dear to residents of San Diego — clean water. The band and nonprofit recruit additional artists for the April 30 event, who all offer volunteer performances so that ticket costs wholly benefit San Diego Coastkeeper’s work. The organization will announce more bands soon.
Tickets to the event are $15 in advance and $20 day of the show. VIP parking inside Campland is also available for $10 per vehicle.
