BeachLife Festival is not only a festival that celebrates music, but also the culture of Southern California.

This year, Beachlife has announced the addition of a new performance area called the \u201cSpeakEasy\u201d stage on top of a list of incredible bands playing the festival, which includes headliners Jane’s Addiction, Cage the Elephant, Counting Crows, and Ziggy & Stephen Marley.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JUICE: How did you come up with the \u201cOut West Badlands\u201d saloon concept and lineup for the SpeakEasy Stage at the BeachLife Festival?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
LINDBERG:<\/strong> Well, that was pretty easy. We started this big festival down in Redondo Beach at King Harbor and Ed talked about doing an acoustic stage. Pretty much the only place for it was on the far west edge of the festival at this corner where the first year we had the <\/strong>Body Glove wetsuit bar. It was where all of the surfers and skaters and people would hang out and we called it the Out West. It was a perfect place to put the acoustic stage for this year\u2019s festival. Of course, if I\u2019m doing acoustic, I\u2019m going to corral all of my musician friends, like Jason DeVore of Authority Zero, Trever Keith of Face to Face, and Jason Cruz of Strung Out and ask them to play. Thankfully, they all agreed, so that was cool, and then we were lucky enough to get Tom Curren, who is one of my favorite surfers of all time and a legendary champ of surfing. Around the same time, my buddy, Steve Caballero, called and wanted me to sing on his new album for his band, Urethane. He’s got a killer new band, so I asked him if he would join up. Before you know it, we had this all-star lineup. Now I think there\u2019s going to be more people at our stage than anywhere else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
