Carmel’s annual Art of Wine event returns to Main Street on Saturday, May 20, but wine is not the only star of this spectacular experience.
In addition to the dozen wineries from across the state pouring free samples of their best bottles, the Art of Wine will also feature an awesome musical lineup for entertainment.
This year’s headliner band is Lost Wax, coming to Carmel from Kansas City and performing on the Main Stage from 8 to 10 p.m. Lost Wax Band is the “original mashup party band,” providing a show that specializes in a unique music style that fuses Pop, Rock, Hip-Hop and R&B from six decades of hits. The band has been performing all over the United States since 2009 with mashups and medley sets that make them unique.
In addition to the headliner, a selection of local acoustic bands will be performing throughout the festival from 4 to 8 p.m. Bands will perform two-hour sets and include:
