Celebrate Your Free[k]dom w 5 Points this 4th of July Weekend

UPDATE: THESE SHOWS HAVE BEEN MOVED INSIDE TO THE SANCTUARY

Due to the small, yet real potential for thunderstorms and lightning this weekend, we have decided the best way to ensure a safe and enjoyable event is to move them inside. All tickets are good for entry and additional measures are being made to ensure VIP and Reserved ticket holders are provided with seating, tables, and their own space to enjoy the show. We apologize in advance for any issues this causes and are available to help ticket holders who may not feel comfortable inside or have other concerns about the move. Contact us at info@5pointsmusic.com and we will work to accommodate you accordingly.

 

The 4th of July is all about
In-dead-pendence and Free[k]dom.
Wasena Park, July 2-3.

5PTS Sanctuary Revival is in full swing and ready to celebrate freedom and ‘freekdom’ this July 4th weekend.

Friday, July 2: The Dead Reckoning w. The Sol Roots Band

Founded in 2016, The Dead Reckoning is a bundle of professional musicians from VA who love and perform Grateful Dead and Dead inspired music. Dead Reckoning shows have quickly become a prime destination for lovers of Grateful Dead-centric music.

The Sol Roots band performs a mix of raw funk, deep blues, energetic rock, greasy soul, and hypnotic grooves. Sol is a guitarist and vocalist who has toured with many roots, funk, blues and soul legends around the world as a part of Music Maker Revue. Paying homage to the greats, and with a love of Universal Music as the guiding light, Sol steps out on a path with his own unique, powerful voice and a talented band of musicians.

 

Saturday, July 3: Freekbass w. Marcus Rezak’s ‘Shred is Dead’

Freekbass is one of the world’s great bass players. He has been on the cover of Bass Musician Magazine, Bass Guitar Magazine/UK, three times, and has been featured in Bass Player Magazine numerous times. He has hosted master classes at “Bass Player Live” in Los Angeles and New York and “The London Bass Guitar Show”. And along with these bass superpowers, Freekbass has a funk music pedigree that is authentic. He has worked alongside funk legends, Bootsy Collins (who gave him his nickname during a studio session) calling Freekbass “The New Spritual Warrior for the Funk” and keyboard icon, Bernie Worrell, who guested on many of Freekbass’ albums and live projects.

Shred Is Dead brings progressive instrumental and vocal performances of The Grateful Dead & Jerry Garcia Band, harvesting a pure blend of inspirational jams and fierce rock n roll. Led by guitarist Marcus Rezak with an all-star group of musicians from across the universe: John Kimock (Mike Gordon Band), John Colman (Muscle Tough), and Scott Hannay (Wild Adriatic). “I like to take the Grateful Dead and make it a little more high-octane, a little faster and a little more energized.” ~Marcus Rezak
