MORE ABOUT THIS EVENT:
The 3rd annual AMP Fest will feature Master Brewer Fergal Murray (click here for bio) as well as live music from Dazz & Brie, Goose and The Mixtapes! A self-proclaimed “girl gang,” Dazz & Brie’s rock and soul style have entertained audiences at Afropunk’s Battle of the Bands in Brooklyn, SXSW and on stages in their home base in Little Rock. Fayetteville-based Goose draws influence from Dave Matthews Band, Jack Johnson and Coldplay with rich lyrics and upbeat tempos. The Mixtapes are a high-energy party loaded with a huge range of music spanning the ‘90s.
Plus you’ll find fun tech activations and games and beer samples from over 30 breweries…. All included in the ticket price!
