The inaugural BeachLife Nights, a two-day “concert in the sand” presented on October 18 and 19 along the Redondo Beach waterfront, was an unmitigated success. A boutique version of the grander BeachLife Fest, which typically takes place in May, it featured eight bands with a concentration on reggae/roots-influenced rock, including Michael Franti & Spearhead, Iration, Fortunate Youth, SOJA, English Beat, and Anuhea.

In this its fifth incarnation, the BeachLife Festival, May 3 to 5, brought a splendid mingling of ocean vibes, colorful people and unique, multi-genre mélange of music to the Seaside Lagoon at Redondo Beach, Calif.

The inaugural day at BeachLife Ranch unfurled a tapestry of rustic, country charm, enveloping attendees in a warm, familial ambiance. The festival landscape metamorphosed into a luminous oasis, caressed by the gentle kisses of the sun, where cowboy hats dotted the scene and line dancing infused the air with ebullient vibrations.
