MENDOCINO COUNTY, Calif. – Experience clean and sober fun at the first-ever substance free music festival in Northern California.

The Clean & Sober Music Fest will be held at the Mendocino County Fairgrounds on Saturday, June 9, and Sunday, June 10, from noon until 7 p.m.

Seven fantastic bands will get the crowds dancing under the summer sky. This community gathering offers picnicking and camping as well.

Concert producer and promoter Jeffery Trotter has been sober for 21 years. He was artistic director of Shakespeare at Stinson for 20 years and has long felt the need for a substance free environment for music festivals.

“It was clear that the time had come for a festival created for people who want to go out and have fun without mind or mood altering substances. We are putting on a wildly fun event where everyone can feel comfortable knowing they are with others who are also clean and sober,” he said.

The stellar line-up features musicians Stefanie Keys Band, Kevin Griffin & Laughing Buddha, Lorin Rowan’s Deep Blue Jam, The Cole Tate Band, Clean Sweep, the Bay Area’s favorite comedian, Michael Pritchard; and just added, rocker Tommy Odetto.

Michael Pritchard is a nationally acclaimed keynote speaker praised by the Wall Street Journal, CNN, and Time for his ability to use humor to inspire and educate his audiences on life skills. The legendary funny man has shared the stage with Robin Williams, Jerry Seinfeld, Dana Carvey and Whoopi Goldberg.

Tommy Odetto recorded his sophomore release, Curses and Revelations, at Studio 606, home of the Foo Fighters. The first single, “Runaway,” dropped in late March and has been featured in both Relix and Billboard magazines. A fifth-generation resident of Marin County, Odetto feels blessed to spread the power of music through Rock and Roll.

Stefanie Keys Band Indie Rock Artist Stephanie Keys, based in Northern California, toured with Big Brother & The Holding Co. for 5 years. A magnificent musician in her own right, she delivers a powerful blend of Southern Rock and 60s Rock with a deep, soulful edge.

Kevin Griffin & Laughing Buddha Musician, Buddhist author, teacher, and a leader in the mindful recovery movement, Kevin Griffin will join in for a meditation practice, talk and clean and sober jam with his band Laughing Buddha.

Lorin Rowan and Kirk Casey’s Deep Blue Jam Funky, fun and full of soul, Deep Blue Jam is a mandolin based Americana/ Rock/Reggae/Jazz/Bluzegrass/Jam Band.

The Real Sarahs Mendocino locals, this trio of women, who are all named Sarah, enjoy the magic that is created by voices in harmony, acoustic instruments, and the energetic connection between artists and audience.

The Cole Tate Band Cole Tate and his band, a long time Bay Area headliner, offer non-stop dance music with a variety of originals and covers. The music is rockin’ Americana with flavors of Blues, R&B and Country.

Clean Sweep Seasoned musicians from Lake County with an unbeatable groove of R&B, Funk, Jazz and Boogie Woogie Blues.
