SUMMER CONCERT SERIES

RESINATION

JUNE 21ST 6 TO 8 PM

AT THE LAKE PARK – SPONSORED BY

POOR RICHARD’S PRESS

For over three years, Resination has been delivering rootical rhythms and conscious lyrics to the Central Coast.  Comprised of an eclectic group of people, Resination's sound is as unique as its members.  Lead vocalist Vance "Noche Man" Fahie emits conscious lyrics utilizing reggae's diverse vocal styles.  Vance is supported by the undeniably heavy thythms laid down by drum and bass duo Erik McCornick and Ian Hartman.  The solid foundation these two build is the perfect platform for the guitar voicing of Pat Pearson.  The Resination sound has recently been complimented with the addition of percussionist Adrian Giovenco.  Without a doubt, a Resination show is always positive and uplifting, captivating the masses and unifying the people!
