Preview: Love Street Music Fest 2019
Love Street returns to Karbach brewery with an unbeatable lineup
4-20-19
Held in the Biergarten of Karbach Brewery in Houston on May 19, Love Street Music Festival brings fans of brew and fans of great music the ultimate summer hangout. Karbach is known for a kaleidoscope of quirky, trendy events throughout the year at their brewery. Love Street Music fest is the piece de resistance of their busy event calendar and one of our personal favorites.
A tribute to Allen's Landings' Love Street of the 60's; "Love Street was not only a place, but a state of mind. A place to unwind and let the music refresh your soul." This year marks the third annual homage to Love Street with a weekend celebration of great music and even greater beer. 2019's festival features some new brews and a soundtrack of suitably summery superstars, both local and international. As Karbach so perfectly puts it: "It's going to be a great day for a little music to your beer!"
In 2018, Team dRiFFt joined Karbach friends from far and wide to celebrate their second-annual festival: "We arrived at midday to a bustling brewery with psychedelic 60's floral-wrapped stages set at opposite ends of a narrow midway brimming with beer tents, food trucks, colorful art and sunshine. We were granted a cheerful impromptu tour through VIP areas, sneaking a peek inside the magical world of Karbach and sipping some of the finest samples. Staff were energetic and friendly, the crowd was chipper and the brews divine. We strolled past market stalls, art, jewelry, creativity, color. Rowdy cornhole tournaments and those eagerly in line for a selection of top-notch food truck offerings. Sunshine, excitement, the promise of excellent music and a great beer to wash it all down. What a wonderful day to be alive."

What started as a flawless sunny day hit a roadbump with a mid-afternoon thunderstorm. Though the day ended early, lots of fun was had and Karbach thoughtfully brought back headliners Bleachers for a make-up show later on. Giving us a great day, albeit abbreviated, and an epic festival story to write home about. I gained a newfound respect for Karbach; going to such great lengths for a Bleachers return.

Now in it's third year, Karbach has gone above and beyond with an even bigger lineup of rock, pop, alternative and indie rock. Early in the day, Vodi and Slenderbodies bring us their delicious indie rock and indie pop flavors. Lovelytheband will descend on the festival with their uplifiting energy and catchy hooks. Then we'll take a quick moment to rock out with The Toadies (as always, a big Texan "haailll yeah!" from me). Bishop Briggs will stop by; the quirky, sultry powerhouse vocalist we hung out with recently at SXSW, and whom we absolutely cannot wait to see again. We'll wrap the evening with the instantly addictive and contagious energy of superstars Walk the Moon. Kudos to Karbach for securing a lineup like this; phenomenal. This will be a Love Street Music fest not to miss.

You have no excuse - tickets are just $40 for general admission or $150 for VIP, which grants separate entry, VIP viewing and a VIP patio with buffet and three beers of your choice - including special VIP-only tappings. Since I visited Karbach last, they've launched a few new brews. And since there hasn't been a single Karbach beer I don't like, I can't wait to taste them over the sweet sound of a summer music in the sun. Join us on May 19th at Karbach's Biergarten.
