Beach Stage 1:10pm

Formed by a group of strangers with a mutual love of funk, Covers of Covers covers the covers of other people’s covers, and funkifies them even more. (Did we mention we like funk covers?)

Beach Stage 2:00pm

The original exiles on Main Street, Yung Shue Wan, The Curs are a traditional American country and western band that don’t know they ain’t American.

Murmurs of a new guitarist and an old fiddler appearing at Lamma Fun Day are being murmured.

 

Having almost achieved viral global fame with the infectious Take Off Your Mask and Kiss Me in 2020, The Curs have a wonderful rapport with international audiences wherever they go.

 

Somehow, they have been making sweet music together for three decades on and off, but it still sounds as fresh as a babbling mountain stream…of moonshine.
