Whale Rock Music Festival announces 2022 lineup
Grace Potter.
Headliners include Grace Potter, The Devil Makes Three, Allen Stone, Cory Wong
– The Udsen family of Castoro Cellars has announced the lineup for their 2022 Whale Rock Music & Arts Festival. Saturday, Sept. 17 will be closed out by Grace Potter and soul singer Allen Stone. Sunday Sept. 18 will feature California legends The Devil Makes Three with funk guitarist Cory Wong of Vulfpeck.
Grace Potter is described by Spin as “one of the greatest living voices in rock today,” and by SF Weekly as “the whole package,” Potter continues to impress both critics and audiences with her musical achievements and captivating live shows.
Grace Potter has played every major music festival from Coachella and Lollapalooza to Bonnaroo and Rock in Rio. Her latest album “Daylight” was nominated for two Grammies including Best Rock Album.
The Devil Makes Three is an Americana trio made up of Pete Bernhard, Lucia Turino, and Cooper McBean. They remain rooted in “troubadour traditions of wandering folk, Delta blues, whiskey-soaked ragtime, and reckless rock ‘n’ roll,” but the band also says it nods to the “revolutionary unrest of author James Baldwin, the no-holds-barred disillusionment of Ernest Hemingway, and Southern Gothic malaise of Flannery O’Connor.”
In this ninth year, Whale Rock Music & Arts Festival will again deliver two days of “wine-loving, peace, and jammin’ in the vines,” all benefiting Templeton Music Education.

In addition to the headliners, the eclectic lineup will include Allen Stone (Soul/R&B), Cory Wong (Funk), Diggin’ Dirt (Soul/Funk), Circles Around the Sun (Instrumental Jam), Lindsay Lou (Folk), Niki J. Crawford (Soul/Funk), Sway Wild (Folk Rock), Aj Lee & Blue Summit (Bluegrass), Dante Marsh & the Vibesetters (Soul/Funk/Good Vibes), Hilary Watson (Americana), The Charities (Soul), Samba Loca (Afro-Brazilian), SLO County Stumblers (Bluegrass), and Jimbo Scott (Americana/Folk).
Tickets are now on sale at the festival’s website, two-day passes are $145 per person along with $95 for single-day passes. Children four and under are free and ages 5-12 are $10. Whale Rock Music and Arts Festival features back-to-back band performances on two stages, a gallery of local artists, all-ages yoga, kid crafts and games, Castoro wines, Bethel Rd. spirits, craft beers, hard ciders, food trucks, and more. The Udsen family has gifted event proceeds to local, education-based non-profit organizations each year. Total donated over the first seven years exceeds $120,000. The 2022 benefactor is again the Templeton Instrumental Music Boosters Association (TIMBA), a parent volunteer organization dedicated to enhancing the experiences of Templeton High School musicians.
