Slightly Stoopid's headlining performance at the 4th annual California Roots Music & Arts Festival in May 2013 was a quintessential display of the band's sun-drenched, Southern California vibe. Taking the main stage at the Monterey County Fairgrounds, the Ocean Beach-based group delivered a set that perfectly captured the spirit of the reggae-centric event. Known for their eclectic fusion of reggae, rock, funk, and hip-hop, Slightly Stoopid's sound was right at home, resonating with an audience ready for good vibes and infectious grooves.
The band's reputation for putting on one of the best live shows around was on full display as they moved through their set with a laid-back confidence that is their signature. The performance was a highlight of the three-day festival, which also featured acts like Rebelution and Matisyahu. This concert featured guest appearances from reggae legend Don Carlos and fellow tour mates Tribal Seeds, adding to the collaborative and celebratory atmosphere of the night. The energy from the stage was palpable, cementing their status as, what one reviewer called, "California Reggae Gods."
