About the Performers
Since 1995, the multi-genre cultural powerhouse, Ozomatli, has blended Latin, hip-hop, funk, reggae, and global influences into an unmistakable sound that captures the city’s energy and diversity. Emerging from Los Angeles’ politically charged streets, Ozomatli has spent three decades uniting communities through music, earning three Grammy Awards, performing at the Hollywood Bowl, and touring the world from New York to Tunisia, Mongolia, and beyond. Their socially conscious lyrics and infectious grooves have made them a beacon of unity, resilience, and celebration. In June of 2025, they kicked off the 30 Revolutions Tour, a tribute to three decades of music, culture, and connection. As they continue into their fourth decade, Ozomatli stands as a living testament to the past, present, and future—moving hearts, minds, and dance floors across the globe.
Active on the vibrant Bay Area music scene, Livewire delivers high-energy dance and rock covers spanning the 1970s, ’80s, and today’s modern hits. They’ve graced iconic Bay Area venues like: San Francisco City Hall, Bimbo’s 365 Club, Top of the Mark, Villa Montalvo, Burlingame Country Club, and Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants. From shoulder-shaking Journey and infectious Michael Jackson grooves to Bruno Mars modern hits, their eclectic song choices ensure there’s something for every crowd goer.
