Tucson, AZ - August 3, 2009 Top national acts, prominent local acts, a Sonoran BBQ and a dance party are featured on Night Two of the fifth annual Hocofest, Arizona’s solar powered music festival. Starting Friday the 4th with the first AZ Punk Rock reunion Stage and the inaugural Latin Music Caliente Solar Stage, Hocofest goes back to its roots, featuring return visits from the Meat Puppets and John Doe. This year is special – both the Meat Puppets and John Doe are bringing special guests. Joining the Meat Puppets is the buzz laden Kirkwood Dellinger, featuring Elmo Kirkwood -Meat Puppets leader Kirk Kirkwood’s son. John Doe also comes in with a bang, bringing along Exene Cervanka, his partner in the legendary X. In over 30 years of performing this is the first year they have performed as a duo.
The evening gets underway with the Nick Luca BBQ. Nick will host the early stage with various local luminaries, then will be followed by North Carolina songwriter Tim Lee.
As with all the Hocofest nights, tickets are only $10 in advance ($25 for all three days), and sell-outs are extremely likely. This night is also combined with the outdoor Caliente Latin Solar Stage, increasing the likelihood of early sell-outs. Advance ticket purchases are highly recommended.
