Wasteland Hop plays a unique brand of folk, rock and hip-hop. Their songs are a striking back-and-forth between soulful lead vocalist Steph Jay and MC Mickey Kenny, who shatters the divide between rap and poetry. The band blends Kenny’s insightful lyrics with high energy and funk-fueled beats.

Opening for Wasteland Hop is indie rock band Wiley Post, out of Anchorage Alaska.
