Yes, it’s three nights of music featuring bands from the 1990s that are playing reunion shows and even a man who plays five instruments at one time.

But this is Athens, and University students can find quality music every week. So Kindercore Records co-founder Ryan Lewis threw in a difference-maker: the opportunity to win a scooter.

“I’m really excited to see somebody get a new scooter who just came out to a show,” Lewis said. “That’s gonna make somebody’s day.”

This weekend’s event, officially titled Kindercore/Owl Scooters Hootenanny, celebrates the birth of Owl Scooters, a scooter manufacturer for which Lewis designs and markets.

“I couldn’t imagine another job where I wasn’t in charge that I could enjoy more than designing scooters and convincing people to buy them.”

Hootenanny attendees will receive up to two raffle tickets for each event they attend. A scooter will also be given away at a cookout at Top Dog Scooters Saturday afternoon.

The concerts also commemorate the rebirth of Kindercore. Lewis founded the label along with Dan Geller in 1996, but it became dormant after taking legal action against a distributor in 2003.

Last year, however, Lewis and Geller decided to restart Kindercore.

“We’re starting back at an exciting level because the music industry itself has kind of fallen apart,” said Lewis. “We were ready to come back from a new perspective.”

Matt Kurz, singer, guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, and drummer for Matt Kurz One, will be performing at tonight’s show. Kurz had a desire to be a one-man band since his youth and developed the ability to play multiple instruments at once.

“There’s an answer to every problem, and a lot of it is happy accidents and determination,” Kurz said. “I’ve had a few profound moments of grand inspiration, and here I am.”

Still Flyin’, a reggae-inspired band from San Francisco, will perform Saturday night with 11 members – although almost 30 people are listed as “spiritual members.”

“We’re recording new stuff now that has nothing to do with reggae, but it’s still fun, dance-y music,” said drummer Sean Rawls. “We want to explore every avenue of the City of Party. We were in Reggaetown. Now we’re in a different neighborhood, but still the same town.”
