Music for the Yoga Class & Music for the Weekend Fest.

This weekend marks the introduction of a new music festival in the Bay Area. San Francisco and the surrounding cities already have an awesome music festival line-up, with Outside Lands, Treasure Island and Noise Pop bringing throngs of bands and music lovers together each year. We can now add Napa Valley to the list of music destinations, with the BottleRock Music Festival opening in downtown Napa this week.

Not only are we so excited to spend the weekend in one of the most beautiful places  on earth, but this baby festival has managed to wrangle some huge artists, boasting the Black Keys, The Flaming Lips, The Shins, Rogue Wave, The Avett Brothers, and Andrew Bird, not to mention Bright Antenna’s own Flagship!

I’ve put together a list of songs from the bands we are looking forward to seeing this weekend. If you’re there, you’ll likely find us at the Willpower Stage, sipping wine and rocking out with smiles on our faces.

Check out the rest of the schedule at bottlerocknapavalley.com, and if you’re in the Bay Area and still manage to miss it, you can catch Flagship performing a free show at the Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, CA on Sunday May 12.
