Hops Drops, previously known as Evergreen Music Festival, is proud to announce The California Honeydrops will be the headlining at this year's festival on Saturday, June 25, 2022, in Evergreen, Colorado. The one-day festival will showcase The California Honeydrops and a dozen regional acts, offering an eclectic mix of live blues, funk, indie, and rock while highlighting some of Colorado’s best brewing companies. Hops Drops offers a full-day outdoor experience filled with live music, unlimited brewery tastings, yoga, various food and retail vendors, and kid-friendly activities.
Led by dynamic vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Lech Wierzynski and drawing on diverse musical influences from Bay Area R&B, funk, Southern soul, Delta blues, and New Orleans second-line, The California Honeydrops bring vibrant energy and infectious dance-party vibes to their shows.
“After headlining the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater last week, we couldn’t be more excited to come back to the great state of Colorado and headline ‘Hops Drops’ music and beer festival in the beautiful city of Evergreen,” said Wierzynski. “The California Honeydrops performance style can only be described as getting the party started. We want crowd involvement - to make people become a part of the whole thing by dancing along, singing, picking the songs, and generally coming out of their shells. We can’t wait to bring this energy to ‘Hops Drops’ festival-goers,” Wierzynski added.
Supporting music artists include Heavy Diamond Ring, Rapidgrass, LVDY, The Wrecklunds, Justus and the Limits, Extra Gold, Jesh Yancey and the High Hopes, Drew Dvorchak and Friends, and YepOK. The craft brewery lineup includes Evergreen Brewery, El Rancho Brewery, Lariat Lodge Brewery, Green Mountain Brewery, CODA Brewing CO., Cellar West Artisan Ales, Over Yonder Brewing, Cabin Creek Brewing, Our Mutual Friend Brewing, Crooked Stave, and more.
Evergreen Music Festival celebrated its first year in 1966. The festival initially started with an intent to bring classical music to the mountains and has since been looked at as the beloved 4th of July fireworks celebration at Evergreen Lake. Thirty-two years later, the festival's leadership team has passed the reins to Evergreen hometown heroes and long-standing local business owners Logan & Riley Boone, owners and operators of Boone Mountain Sports + Evergreen Brewery. Alongside the Boone family, local business owners Marcus Durante (Founder of Kree8), Bobby Everett (Co-Owner of Evergreen Brewery), and Colin Kerr (Owner of The Wildflower Cafe) have joined forces with the festival to better encapsulate the refreshed, modernized potential for Evergreen to be looked at as a go-to spot on the Colorado music and entertainment scene. In addition to elevating Evergreen’s mountain entertainment, Hops Drop continues to support and give back to the local community and has committed to donating 10% of ticket sales to Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen.
