On Saturday night at the Long Beach Cultural Center fans and celebs came out to raise awareness for veterans causes this memorial day weekend. The rock band Six Gun Sal headlined the Southern Rock Festival giving their first official live performance since the start of the pandemic. It was a very special night and everyone had a great time. Red carpet attendees included pro wrestlers, musicians, and Navy SEAL veterans. Check out my video below to see my red carpet coverage and hear interviews with some of the notable guests who attended. I went backstage to the pre-party where there was delicious Mexican food and patriotic drinks served. Guests enjoyed the "Brave Soldier" cocktail featuring the Positive Beverage Tropical Berry flavor and Doublecross vodka as well as catering by Mini Birrieria. There was also wine provided by Urban Press Wineries and beverages from Hint water. It was a great selection!
The concert opened with Scott Gronsky Band followed by Kimberly Dawn, a rising country singer who gave a great performance singing some of her original hits as well as classic country favorites. Then the night got going with the headliner Six Gun Sal. The crowd was hyped to see the band perform again after so long. The lead singer .. stopped mid show to take a moment of silence to honor veterans and fallen soldiers for memorial day. He also invited the veterans in the audience up on stage and shook each of their hands. It was a great way to celebrate the holiday and remember what the long weekend is all about. Navy SEAL vet Johnny Walker also got up on stage to give a speech about memorial day and encouraged all Americans to come together for the holiday.
After the break the concert got back into full swing and the night finished out strong with songs like "red blooded American" and other Six Gun Sal classics. Everyone enjoyed getting back out in person and the event was a a success. It was an exciting start to the summer!
