            6-8 years old: 1 lap
            9 & 10 years old: 2 laps            11 & 12 years old: 3 laps

The Garner Group Mainstage 2011 Lineup:

Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter, Marc Cohn (8:30pm-10pm) and his full band will headine the Hullabaloo mainstage for a truly magical musical evening. Marc's career took off in 1990 with the recording of his critically acclaimed, self-titled debut disc, which yielded such classics as “Walking In Memphis,” “Silver Thunderbird,” and the lovely “True Companion.” A long-time pop music fan, Marc's most recent album, "Listening Booth: 1970" transforms songs from such artists as Cat Stevens, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Van Morrison, Smokey Robinson and Creedence Clearwater Revival into tracks that are warm, soulful, more than a little sexy and full of easy-going charm. These highly personal interpretations say as much about Cohn’s own history – his experiences, his memories, his inspirations – as about the legacy of these songs.

Oregon-based singer/songwriter/producer Franchot Tone (5pm-6pm) isn't a household name, thanks to his decidedly behind-the-scenes work on some of the coolest musical projects to emerge from the West Coast in recent years. But his sound is unmistakable: take a pitch-perfect pinch of vintage reggae and dub, a sun-fried splash of laid-back SoCal pop-rock, and a heaping helping of Meters-style funk and soul, and you've got Tone's brew. Over the past several months, however, a solo path has revealed itself, illuminated at every turn by someone else. Now, Tone is stepping up to the front of the stage for the first time. It's a new role, but one he's tackling with confidence and a sense that it's one he's meant to play. Over the past several years, Tone has built an impressive resume, both as a performer and as a studio wizard. His best-known work is as one half of the Culver City Dub Collective, the critically acclaimed band he shares with drummer Adam Topol. He has also performed on stage with Garth Brooks, Jack Johnson, Ozomatli, ALO and The Doors' Robby Krieger, and he has opened for The Wailers, Toots & The Maytals, and Michael Franti & Spearhead just to name a few. The list of artists Tone has worked with in the studio or produced tracks for is long, highlighted by Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Money Mark, Goldfinger, Tom Dumont (No Doubt) and Fredo Ortiz (Beastie Boys) and his own band, the Culver City Dub Collective.

The moniker MOsley WOtta (6:30pm-8pm) is a play on the words mostly water, which reflects the belief that we are all made up of the same elements. All living beings are mostly water. That, more than race or species or gender is what truly connects us all to each other.
This live HIP HOP Band encourages unity through music and the celebration of our commonalities. Front man, Jason Graham's background in theatre and poetry are closely woven into every musical performance.

We've made it easy this year. Just hop on the new Hullabaloo shuttle from 900 Wall downtown, provided by GETIT Shuttle Service. It's FREE and service will be provided all evening from 4-10pm, with stops downtown at the top and bottom of every hour. See, we said it would be easy!

When you ride your bike to Hullabaloo, you can park it for the evening at the Commute Options Bike Corral. Bring your own lock and park it at the Corral on Fort Clatsop Street, next to Pisano’s Pizza. Commute Options encourages Central Oregonians to reduce their reliance on automobiles and we thank them for providing us with plenty of bike racks for parking. Don’t forget your helmet…

If you must drive, parking is available at Summit High School, High Lakes Elementary and in neighborhood streets. We ask that you be considerate of our residents and their landscaping when parking on the street, taking care not to block driveways.

A huge, hullabaloo thank you to our sponsors:
