Summer is just around the corner d the beachside community of Orange County is already heating up in anticipation for the latest live music concert series debuting this May! The inaugural OC Live Concert Series, presented by Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley via the County’s Arts-Related Grant Relief Program, is pleased to announce the 6-day, multi-venue concert series just added an additional venue and band to the jam-packed line up.

In addition to the performances at the Newport Dunes on Sunday, May 15th, Latin Jazz Band Robert Incelli will perform live at 6:00pm PST on May 15th at Costa Mesa’s Cafe Sevilla.

The OC Live concert series will bring the power of live music to multiple venues in Orange County with live music performances from over twenty local artists, across six days, May 10 – 15. Attendees can expect performances from popular SoCal artists including Flashback Heart Attack, Matt Costal, Rebel ShakeDown, Hot Rod Trio, David Rosales, Fabulous Nomads, Rocket talk and Beaux Gris Gris, and many more.

With the mission to support the arts, OC Live will kick-off with a night of performances and a grant check presentation from Supervisor Foley on Tuesday, May 10 at Dick Church’s Restaurant in Costa Mesa at 6:30pm PST. Nightly performances will continue throughout the week at Dick Church’s, STRUT Bar & Club, and culminate with performances at the Newport Dunes on Saturday and Sunday, and at Cafe Sevilla on Sunday.

Live music lovers, entertainment enthusiasts, and foodies of all ages are encouraged to enjoy the live music and delicious eats offered at the week-long series. Tickets are $5 per person (ages 10+) with proceeds going to support local arts and culture programming, administered by Arts Orange County, the official nonprofit local arts agency of the County of Orange. Proceeds from all tickets purchased for the performances at STRUT Bar & Club will go to support LGBTQ Center OC, also administered by Arts Orange County.

“Our hope with this series is to aid local musicians and small businesses who were hit the hardest during the coronavirus pandemic,” shared Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley. “We’ve partnered with some incredible artists and beautiful venues to welcome back live music with the OC Live Concert Series and remind the entire OC community the power of live music.”
