ABOUT CITRUS MISSION
Citrus Mission serves up a joy-forward groove with just the right amount of zest. Living halfway between the dance floor and the front porch they bring funky poppy rock with a playful, slightly nerdy sparkle. From Arkansas to Maui, Citrus Mission was crafted for the loose-hipped, big-hearted folks that are prepared to bring their happy feet. Dancy. Fun. Playful. Campfire on a stage to melt your marshmallows. They’re delighted to open Rowdy Fest 2026 and keep the night freshly squeezed.
ABOUT FLAT JACKSON
Flat Jackson started out as a bluegrass band but then morphed into…something else. No doubt that rootsy quality comes through, kinda like someone dropped an anvil on Bill Monroe’s foot, but essentially the range of influences have rendered the band genre-less. They’ve heard folks describe them as Slamgrass, a term in which they embraced. Their music holds elements of reggae, folk, rock (both southern and northern), blues, punk, funk and just about everything else coagulate into a sound as unique as the island they call home.
ABOUT ROWDY LOVE
Aaron Jernigan and Stina Lynn are wild souls who met on a little farm in Haiku, Hawai’i, over a decade ago. On that first meeting, they wailed away on their guitars, singing covers that they both knew by Mississippi John Hurt, Johnny Cash, John Prine, and Gillian Welch. Seeing as they both had the same taste in music, they decided to start singing tunes together at parties and potlucks. A few years later, they ventured out into another realm of genius and wrote their first song together. Sitting at a kitchen table with a bottle of wine, whiskey, strawberries, and a bowl of cigarettes, they had their firstborn song and named it Rowdy Love. It was a hit, and alas, the Rowdy Love duo was born into this world! Joined by their amazing band, Jonas, Paul, and Clint, the music will take you on a sonic journey through Americana, Ska, Rockabilly, and with a punk edge
