Hippiefest will bring together Jack Bruce of Cream ("I Feel Free," "Sunshine of Your Love," "White Room"); Eric Burdon and the Animals ("House of the Rising Sun," "We’ve Gotta Get Out of This Place," "It’s My Life"); The Turtles, featuring Flo & Eddie ("Happy Together," "It Ain’t Me Babe," "She’d Rather Be With Me"); Melanie ("Lay Down-Candles in the Rain," "Brand New Key"); Badfinger, featuring Joey Molland ("Come and Get It," "Day After Day"); and Jonathan Edwards ("Sunshine," "Shanty," "Train of Glory").
Much more than a concert, Hippiefest will offer a chance to relive, remember and recapture a piece of the past at the Hippie Marketplace, offering beads, tie dyes and other iconic reminders of Woodstock, San Francisco and a generation that brought a whole new outlook to life. The younger set will enjoy a perfect opportunity to tune in to what their parents and grandparents experienced two generations ago.
