Old Dominion curates beach music fest

Monday, January 6, 2025 – Old Dominion will curate the new Moon Crush Odies Beach Vacation music weekend on the Gulf hores of Miramar Beach, Fla. on Nov. 13-15.

"This isn't a music festival," said Old Dominion lead singer Matthew Ramsey. "This is a music vacation full of fun, great music and as always, no bad vibes. We can't wait to spend time with you all, soak in the sun and create memories together."

Moon Crush "Odies Beach Vacation" will feature two special performances by Old Dominion, as well as sets from Brothers Osborne, Shaggy, Russell Dickerson, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Niko Moon and more.

The general on sale begins Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 2 p.m. Eastern time.

The event is promoted by Topeka, which has similar events with other bands.

Topeka will host new artists coming to Miramar Beach to curate their own experiences. My Morning Jacket will bring "One Big Holiday" from Mexico to Miramar Beach for the first time ever (April 3-5) and Whiskey Myers oversees the Moon Crush "Whiskey Moon" (Nov. 7-9).

There will also be returning weekends from Tedeschi Trucks Band for their "Sun, Sand and Soul Beach Weekend" (May 1 - 3), and the third installment of Brandi Carlile's "Mothership Weekend" (May 9 – 11).

The hyper positive lead single "Make it Sweet" sets the stage with an ode to the brighter side of everything. Most tracks are upbeat but, ironically, there is not an official party anthem or even a drinking song. The closest they get is "American Style," which is laden with standard innocent imagery ...
CD review - Happy Endings Right off the bat, the title of Old Dominion's album "Happy Endings" is far better than "Meat and Candy," its prior effort. ("Meat" in an album title? Really?) But also on an artistic level, OD's follow-up shows signs of growth. With that said, though, there's nothing on this new release as immediately catchy as "Snapback." Nevertheless, the vocal-only harmonies introducing "Not Everything's About You," are a beautiful thing. ...
