The ’90s called, and Lake Oconee answered! 🎸🎶

From the first guitar riff to the last sing-along, the 2026 Rhythm & Brews Festival in collaboration with Reynolds Lake Oconee was a throwback in all the best ways!

Sugar Ray and Vertical Horizon brought the hits, the crowd brought the energy, and Mark McGrath even brought the frosted tips! 🙌

The chilly fall weather made for the perfect concert night at Sandy Creek Barn, with great music, food, drinks, and a whole lot of nostalgia.

🎸 MEET THE HEADLINERS! Two iconic bands. Millions of records sold. One unforgettable night at Rhythm & Brews Festival in collaboration with Reynolds Lake Oconee!

🎤 SUGAR RAY
Led by the unmistakable Mark McGrath, Sugar Ray helped define the sound of the late ‘90s with hits like “Fly,” “Every Morning,” “Someday,” and “When It’s Over.” With more than 10 million records sold and four Top 10 hits, this multiplatinum band knows how to get a crowd singing along.

🎸 VERTICAL HORIZON
Remember “Everything You Want,” “You’re a God,” and “Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)”? Led by singer-songwriter Matt Scannell, Vertical Horizon rose to national fame with their multiplatinum album *Everything You Want*. Its title track became Billboard’s most-played single of 2000, cementing the band’s place in pop-rock history.

🔥 ONE STAGE. TWO INCREDIBLE HEADLINERS.
