Levitt AMP Carson City Music Series | Van Goat | Swing Punk| Saturday | August 1st 2026

Punk. Swing. Ragtime. Southern jazz. Surf. Van Goat is a band to which you could apply many labels, but none would quite prepare you for what you’re about to hear.“ “Back in the ’30s and ’40s, swing was a high-energy dance music that people would dance to ’til they passed out. These days, if a band starts up with the clarinets and the ride cymbals, you’ll probably start picturing your great grandpa doing the jitterbug. Oakland’s Van Goat breathes a healthy dose of punk rock into swing by stripping it down, raw and so energetic that you’ll want to upstage your granddaddy on the dance floor.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Watch Van Goat on Youtube Opening Act: Spencer Kilpatrick & The Sand Gators Artist Sponsor: Chromalloy Hotel Sponsor: The Federal Hotel (Click here to save 20% on your stay)
