"Smashing Pumpkins: Battle of the Bands"
Producing Director Ken Kelly in his element
|
An unabashed smash hit at last year’s Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival, “Smashing Pumpkins: Battle of the Bands”, under the direction of local impresario Ken Kelly, returns for an encore performance at this year’s festival, October 13-14.
"This is all about giving young, emerging and exciting talent from around the Bay Area a chance to do what all performers want to do: get in front of a live audience", says producing director, Ken Kelly of Ken Kelly Productions. "The Pumpkin Festival will be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the incredible new talent that we've discovered over the past year."
Three bands will play each day with performances running from 3 pm to 5 pm on the Safeway Family Stage in the Bank of America parking lot at 620 Main Street.
Special gratitude and thanks to Ken Kelly of Ken Kelly Productions for making this a spectacular reality. BRAVO!!! Visit www.kenkellyproductions.com.
