Unplugged & Unfiltered: Cam Brown Live
Saturday, May 9, 2026
10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Free
Join us for a special live acoustic set with Cam Brown, lead singer of the band Of Good Nature, as he brings his signature sound to an intimate, stripped-down performance. Known for his soulful vocals, reggae-infused rhythms, and high-energy stage presence, Cam takes a different approach in this solo set—delivering raw, heartfelt versions of fan favorites along with personal originals and unexpected covers.
This is a rare chance to experience the songs you love in a more personal setting, where the stories behind the music shine just as much as the melodies themselves. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering his sound, this acoustic performance promises a relaxed, engaging atmosphere you won’t want to miss.
