Half a decade later, here we are. For five years West Coast Weekender has passionately brought together a beautiful community to celebrate the culture of underground music & art in southern California.
We did some crate diggin’ and found 10 photos that define West Coast Weekender.
1) Sunday Year One (2016) Gene Farris: Chicago brother Gene Farris has seen immense growth in his popularity 2016 and we could not be happier for him!
