We cannot end Petfest without one special thanks and that goes to Dustin and Cheyenne Rhodes! I was told no when I presented my idea by a couple places and they heard me out and believed in me and my idea and helped make it happen. So grateful for the kind souls you two are!

Words cannot explain the appreciation I have for every artist that came out to play last night! We had artists drive from 25 minutes to over an hour to play for all the wonderful people and animals that showed up to support the 1st annual Petfest! It was a killer time and I enjoyed every minute of the day! Thank you thank you thank you!

Got the last 2 artist reveals coming this week! Super excited to get the full line up out to you guys!

Band reveal! No Regards! “No Regards is composed of Andy Fielitz and Will Cooper! Andy got his start in music when he was in the navy and would bring a guitar out with him to sea to practice when he had time and when he came home he decided that he wanted to pursue a career in music. Being influenced by Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath/Ozzy, The Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynard, Andy brings a fusion style of hard rock/metal and blues with a southern twang! Will has spent the last 8 years thumping the bass for acts like Ben Nation and Dylan Wolfe and picking up freelance work. Being influenced by Black Sabbath/Ozzy, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Metallica, and Nirvana Will brings a blend of Rock/ Metal with fingerstyle acoustic. 5 years ago Will and Andy worked together but in different parts of the company so never really talked to each other. One day they showed up to the same jam session and after spending some time talking about music and guitars they finally made the decision to start playing music together. After a year of practicing and getting songs together they got going even given the opportunity to open for the band Trapt. “

BAND REVEAL! Beppler and Caudle"Beppler & Caudle is comprised of Jimmy Beppler and Chris Caudle. We have been playing music together for last 23 years. We play a wide range of music including originals and covers. Some of our biggest influences are Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Seger, Led Zeppelin and The Eagles. We love being on stage and seeing people enjoy our music. Wouldn't trade it for anything."
