“Brew Game Plus is our one-of-a-kind mini music fest dedicated to the last forty years of videogames and a focus on the amazing music that was written for them” explains Patient Corgi organizer CeCe Luckey. “Our festival is fun and nostalgic, while giving serious tribute to the underrated composers who worked largely behind the scenes, making good games truly great. We are passionate about bringing those hidden gems into the light—everything from Pokémon to obscure ’90s arcade soundtracks—and presenting them in a live format, inviting local and touring bands to bring the best of those songs to the stage.”
This year’s event will also includes:
Dance Performers: Maya the Fire Dancer and SophyHoops
Gaming Consoles: North County Gamers and Stevie’s TVs
Food Trucks: Deth Tacos and Big City Dogz
Vendors: Retrocorp, Revolution Gaming, Faceted Finds Jewelry Boutique, and Scarlet Moon Records.
