Global alternative band Rupa & The April Fishes will entertain you with their seamless blend of indie-roots-neoclassical-international sounds, creating a bold and cinematic body of music with themes that center around the fluid vagaries of life, love, death and a borderless world.

Conspiracy of Beards
http://conspiracyofbeards.com/

A 30-member a capella male choir that performs exclusively the songs of the legendary poet, novelist, and singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen.Transforming Cohen's simple melodies into complex four or five part harmonies, their sound ranges from tender to robust. One can hear influences of contemporary, jazz, gospel, barbershop, classical and even doo-wop styles in the unique arrangements by chorus members. Using the genius of Cohen's words, the Beards inspire the audience to ponder personal, political and spiritual life throughout the show amid laughter and cheers. 

There will also be performances by Santa Cruz's Bravas pra Brasil, an Afro-Atlantic dance group, and 2012 Bay Area Carnaval Queen Ashlee.
Amazing food will be on site for purchase by Hiyaaa and Fist of Flour - so save those taste buds for some truly fantastic street food!
