SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - Can you hear those sweet sounds? It’s the FREE featured artists playing at the 2023 Sacramento County Fair!

On Thursday, May 25th, FAN HALEN, known as “The World’s Most Authentic Tribute to Van Halen”, kicks it all off.  Join Dave, Eddie, Alex and Michael for a true-to-life tribute to not only the band, but the spirit of an era!

On Friday, May 26th, hip-hop sensation BANDED FUTURE takes the stage. Banded Future is musical duo Jericho Law and Zap Rath. Popular for their clean, fun music that all ages can enjoy, the duo has an unconventional approach that goes against the grain of modern hip hop and ropes in all in attendance!

On Saturday, May 27th, THE FABULOUS YACHTSMEN take the stage.  After navigating through tumultuous seas of tribute bands and sub-par cover acts, Captain Doc spent painstaking hours putting together a top-notch crew of musicians the likes of seven seas have never seen. And thus, The Fabulous Yachtsmen were born!  “Friends, it’s time we yacht rock!” That’s what Captain Doc said in 2020. And when The Captain speaks, his crew listens! Don't miss your chance to cruise right along with them.

On Sunday, May 28th, MAYA LATIN ROOTS BAND performs. Maya is a Latin Tribute Band presenting the most popular cross over hits from well-known artists that everybody knows and loves, including a special movie soundtrack from Selena & La Bamba. Plus, tributes by Santana, Mark Anthony, Gloria Estefan, Celia Cruz, La Sonora Dinamita and classic Latin Old School hits.
