Eagle Rock Music Festival

'Flying Lotus,' led by 'FlyLo,' the great-nephew of the late Alice Coltrane and John Coltrane, will combine mind-bending beats into a riveting aural tapestry on the Low End Theory Stage at 10:20 p.m.

Among the Festival’s featured performers are Flying Lotus, the experimental producer/laptop musician referred to affectionately as "FlyLo" by fans and critics. Born Steven Ellison, the great-nephew of the late Alice Coltrane and John Coltrane infuses kaleidoscopic textures and mind-bending beats into a riveting aural tapestry. Flying Lotus will perform on the Low End Theory Stage at 10:20 p.m.

Mia Doi Todd is no stranger to our community, having appeared in concert at the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock. She was featured this summer at the Hollywood Bowl for Global Soul, on a bill that included Stevie Wonder, Sharon Jones and Janelle Monáe. With her latest release Cosmic Ocean Ship, the singer/songwriter expands on her recorded legacy of gorgeous melodies and sensual song craft. Mia Doi Todd will appear on the Global Future Roots Stage at 6:15 p.m.

The neo-psychedelic collective Shadow Shadow Shade unveils a cinematic approach to their music, revealed in intricate arrangements reflective of British pomp-rock, cross-pollinated with an indie sensibility. Fronted by an opera-schooled lead vocalist Claire McKeown, the band’s opulent musicality projects dense, majestic arrangements, hypnotic grooves and epic complexity. Shadow Shadow Shade will perform on The Ship Stage at 10 p.m.

“Blazing,” “blistering” and “bombastic” are adjectives that characterize the uncompromising artistry of garage punkers Barrio Tiger. The band is inked to Pat Todd's Rankoutsider Records, which earlier this year released its 12" 45 EP Laugh Now, Cry Later, recorded with Manny Nieto. “Punk rock with beer-soaked intensity,” is one apt description of this bold, uncompromising Los Angeles-based aggregation.

A $5 suggested donation can be made at the main entrances and throughout the festival. This contribution supports the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock, the nonprofit that produces the Eagle Rock Music Festival, along with the office of Councilmember José Huizar.
