The Stone Foxes bring its mix of rock ‘n roll to Kent’s 17th annual Fourth of July Splash at Lake Meridian Park, 14800 SE 272nd St.
The band plays from 8 to 9:30 p.m. It is free to the public.
The Stone Foxes believe rock ‘n roll can move mountains. They hail from San Francisco and with its soon-to-be released fourth album, Twelve Spells, the band has solidified a place in the city’s rich music history. They’ve played in front of thousands at festivals, headlined the legendary Fillmore Theater and have supported acts like The Black Keys, Cage the Elephant and ZZ Top.
The band’s mantra: “It’s been decided, we don’t wanna be anything but a rock ‘n roll band. We wanna hit hard, go fast, get low, get moody, and just do what feels good. We are on a mission to bottle up all the energy, the impressive amount of sweat, and the outrageous fun we have playing live, and give it back to the rest of the humans as a record. We’re six dudes who believe that rock ‘n roll can move mountains, and we’re gonna play it till we move one.”
