Time: 4:30pm

The Inciters are from Santa Cruz, but travel the world in support of their internationally released records.

The Inciters play Northern Soul music. Northern Soul takes the Motown/Stax ethic but adds a stronger back-beat with more adventurous production, and The Inciters continue this tradition in grand style. With ten members (sometimes more!) wielding drums, bass, guitar, a full horn section, and three female vocals, The Inciters have no problem filling a room with the powerful sound of soul. The three vocalists lead the band through finely crafted original songs as well as traditional soul music that will get you out of your seat and start to dance!

Since the bands inception in 1995, through today, The Inciters have relentlessly packed dance floors, released numerous albums and singles, played hundreds of shows and, above all, have had the most fun doing so.
