Big Bear Lake Summer Concert Series Featuring Bardo & Mestizo Beat

Join us as we savor the sweet sounds of summer one last time on Latin Rock Night featuring Bardo, former frontman of psych-soul trailblazers Chicano Batman, and Mestizo Beat!

We'll have family-friendly games to keep the kiddos entertained, and picnic tables in our Beer Garden so you can enjoy beer and wine as well as delicious food from local restaurants while you watch the show! Feel free to bring your own chairs and blankets. Be sure to check out the official playlist on Spotify, so you can sing along at the show! 

About the Artists:
Raised in La Mirada by a Mexican father and Colombian mother, Bardo draws from a vibrant mix of influences informed by his roots, blending Latin rhythms with post-punk, disco, soul, and experimental rock.

L.A. based Afro-Latin Soul band Mestizo Beat is returing to the Big Bear Lake Summer Concert Series for a second year. The band's energetic sound is led by a mighty brass section and fiery guitar solos accompanied by soulful organ melodies and ground shaking bass lines. Their instrumental music is an intoxicating blend of 60’s-70’s Funk & Soul, Latin Jazz, Afrobeat, Psychedelic Rock and Hip-Hop. Influences include legendary artists like Kool & The Gang, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, and more! ⁠
