The 502’s were a smashing success when some of your ACMA buds saw them at Stringbreak Music Fest. This orlando based indie band promptly applied to play the ACMA and received 6 big thumbs up from your music committee. Fresh, young and energetic the 502’s will bring you to your feet and leave you smiling. But..lest you think they are just a “party band”, I’m here to tell you that their songs are thoughtful, well written and have meaning. After all, our very selective music committee was unanimous about bringing them to the ACMA

Here’s a bit more!

The 502s are a raucous indie folk group formed by three cousins from Central Florida. Since 2015, The 502s have taken their swaggering blend of Americana across the coast including Okeechobee Music Festival and Communion Records’ NYC showcase. Their album is a heartfelt invitation to good old-fashioned fun, and they are celebrating with a tour of the US and Europe in 2018.
Recent Tour Highlights:
● Florida Music Festival (2017) – Mainstage
● Okeechobee Music Festival (2016) – “Here” Stage (headliners included Mumford & Sons and Kendrick Lamar)
