WEST 22nd: PLACES TO BE
West 22nd is an Austin-based rock band formed by friends who met at the University of Texas with a singular mission: become the next great rock band. They call their sound carousel rock, a style that spins through genre, emotion, and energy without losing its center. The term captures the tension at the heart of their music: controlled chaos that is sometimes dizzying, sometimes grounding, and always unforgettable. After a breakout EP and a debut album that have amassed over 75 million streams worldwide, West 22nd made one thing clear – they are not here to blend in. Their lyrics are autobiographical, their shows are electric, and their ambition is unmistakable. They have taken the stage at ACL, sold out numerous dates on their debut headlining tour, and built a fanbase that shouts every word back at them. West 22nd is not chasing nostalgia or trends. They are writing what comes next. And if you have ever felt a chorus hit at exactly the right moment, you already understand.

STRANGECREEK CAMPOUT BATTLE OF THE BANDS presented by WORMTOWN
COSMIC CHARLIE – High-Energy Grateful Dead
Cosmic Charlie was born in the musical Mecca of Athens, Georgia. From its summer 1999 inception, the band swiftly cemented its reputation as a band that puts a unique and personal twist on the Grateful Dead catalogue. Cosmic Charlie is a Dead cover band for folks that are ambivalent about Dead cover bands. Rather than mimicking the Dead exactly, Cosmic Charlie chooses to tap into the Dead’s energy and style as a foundation on which to build. The result is healthy balance of creativity and tradition, where both the band and its audience are taken to that familiar edge with the sense that, music is actually being MADE here tonight. Moving and shaking even the most skeptical of Deadheads, Cosmic Charlie storms into a town and plays with an energy that eludes other bands, an energy that sometimes eluded the Dead themselves. Those precious moments during Dead jams when the synchronicity is there and all is right with the world – these are the moments that Cosmic Charlie relishes and feverishly welcomes with open arms. Clearly, Cosmic Charlie’s audiences are also eager to partake in these moments, and together with the band, they have indulged in many memorable evenings. Most nights, Cosmic Charlie walks onstage without a setlist, not even knowing what the first song will be. Any Dead tune can rear its head at any moment, and fan requests are always welcome. “INSPIRATION, MOVE ME BRIGHTLY” is Cosmic Charlie’s mantra, allowing the music to truly play the band.
