Symphonic Distribution has become one the city’s biggest champions of local music, and while a Puerto Rican soul singer (Calma Carmona) joins this year’s Vibes of the Bay lineup, the one-day music festival’s roster still almost exclusively leans on what is truly some of the brightest young Bay area talent from a multitude of genres including hip-hop, pop, folk, rock and experimental music. Not-so-prehistoric electro-pop from Pixelsaur has piqued CL’s interest along with sets by Orlando R&B singer Xcelencia and a performance from Trapfone.
