“I grew up on the east coast listening to the music of my parent’s generation…country, folk, singer songwriter type stuff. Most of it I swore I hated, but some of it has stuck with me forever,” says Kelly Slater, 10x ASP World Champion. “I’ve been lucky enough to meet a lot of artists I knew through our vinyl records and became good friends with a couple. We’ve got a surprise guest playing this year with a few guest appearances thrown in. I think the event is gonna be a really fun night for everybody and something I haven’t experienced before.”
