The Magic Beans

Magic Beans quickly gained national recognition with their infectious passion for music. Blending funk, R&B, rock, soul, and country, they create a unique sound all their own. Their latest release, Unzipped, is an instrumental tribute to lo-fi, hip hop, and 90s neo-soul. Previous albums like Slice of Life highlight their songwriting depth and catchy lyrics. Having toured extensively with their analog dance music and neo-jam, the band has built a broad fanbase.

The Magic Beans will be performing on Saturday, Sept. 14 from 8 p.m.-11 p.m. at the Crystal Bay Club. Get tickets at https://www.tixr.com/groups/crystalbaycasino/events/magic-beans-110544
