This year's headliners include:
- San Diego roots band Los Alacranes with Special Guests Louie Perez and David Hidalgo (Grammy Award winners and founders of Los Lobos and the Latin Playboys)
- Country music masters Geoff Muldaur and Jim Kweskin, founders of the Jim Kweskin Jug Band, who almost singlehandedly brought about a national revival of interest in pre-World War II rural music with their string of albums and good-humored performances
- Reilly & Friends, will showcase Oscar nominated actor and musician John C. Reilly, along with Tom Brosseau, Willie Watson and Dan Bern
- The Americana band Haunted Windchimes comprising of five young troubadours from Colorado. Musically, the Windchimes' catalogue is full of barnburners, campfire sing-alongs, and lush four- and five-part harmonies
- Brooklyn-based gospel inspired band Spirit Family Reunion
The festival will feature performances staged in participating restaurants, bars, coffeehouses and galleries, as well as four community stages along Adams Avenue. Many of the unplugged performers will play multiple sets to allow attendees to catch their favorite artists while enjoying the neighborhoods many distinctive shops along the Adams Avenue business corridor.
Adams Avenue Unplugged will be held along a two-mile stretch of Adams Avenue, from University Heights on the west end, through Normal Heights, and into parts of Kensington on the east. Since street parking is limited, organizers will provide free trolley service along Adams Avenue, during the event, as well as a bike valet service. In addition, mass transit bus service (MTS #2 & 11) will also be available since Adams Avenue will be open to traffic. We encourage festival-goers to wear comfortable shoes and enjoy the music and vibe that Adams Avenue offers.
