The Gathering | A Celebration of Laguna's Hippie History
Event 7 of 8 | @ Skyloft on Thursday, Sept. 26 8PM
Skyloft 422 S. Coast Hwy.
The Great North Special, a vibrant gem born from the sun-soaked shores of Laguna Beach, California, embodies the spirit of friendship and a shared passion for the improvisational brilliance of legendary bands like Little Feat and The Grateful Dead. This seven-piece ensemble is a musical tapestry woven with the unique talents of Andrew Corradini and Russell Long on vocals and guitars, the mesmerizing guitar and pedal steel riffs of Ben Wagner, the keyboard wizardry of Albert Margolis—whose skills have been shaped by touring with Leo Nocentelli of The Meters—and the pulsating rhythm section of Derek Eglit on drums, Anson Ditt on bass, and Max Vega on percussion.
Together, they create an exhilarating soundscape that spans genres from country-funk to soul-blues, psych-rock to jazz, igniting dance parties that leave audiences breathless with joy. Picture yourself swept away in the infectious energy of their live shows, where every note encourages you to dance and celebrate the magic of music.
