Sophia said, “Marking our 30th Anniversary was everything we could wish for and more. Blue October’s energy was unmatched beginning with ‘Hot Stuff’! They are an Omaha favorite through and through. It felt like a family reunion with Justin and the boys from Blue October. Sublime ….we all knew we were witnessing history in the making. They played their new song ‘Ensenda’ and all the classic we love! 311 closed out the show with fans, friends and family watching the sunset as they took the stage. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. The weather, the vibe and the friendship shined backstage and in the crowd. A big thank you goes out to all of the players both big and small, that was the best Anniversary party we could have ever wished for.”
