Bumpin Uglies

After a year of anticipation, the 14th iteration of Cali Roots once again graced the historic stages of the Monterey Fairgrounds. Through the years, the annual Montereggae classic has proven time and time again to be so much more than a festival—an annual family reunion for a worldwide community. With lines extending blocks down the street, droves of fans began lining up outside the gates hours before the festival opened, anxiously awaiting the start of another year of this momentous gathering.

Embodying the mantra of wearing one’s heart on their sleeve, the members of Bumpin Uglies have been setting poetry to an upbeat melody for close to two decades. As unfiltered and revealing in their personal lives as they are through their lyrics, they pull no punches in telling their life story of growing from a group in the Mid-Atlantic to becoming a nationally touring phenomenon with a devout fan base in every city they play.

Twenty6 Productions and Buffalo Iron Works have announced the lineup for the 2024 Cobblestoned Vibes Music Festival, set for August 3rd in Buffalo, NY. This year's festival will feature two stages in the Historic Cobblestone District and will include local artisan vendors, food trucks, and a unique cannabis journey.

Organizers from Twenty6 Productions, Buffalo Iron Works, and Bison Botanics are excited to present a festival experience that celebrates Buffalo's vibrant spirit like never before.

Amidst the sun-kissed palm trees and the gentle ocean breeze, the Cali Vibes Festival reached its zenith on Day 3, leaving attendees with an unforgettable musical journey. The festival grounds buzzed with anticipation and excitement as the final day unfolded, setting the stage for an epic conclusion.
