Local area performers The XoXo’s will entertain Live on Stage at the Port Austin Farmers Market on Saturday, August 31, 2024.

Local area musical group The XoXo’s will entertain Live on Stage at the Port Austin Farmers Market on Saturday, September 2. The group featuring Bobby Manila (vocals/guitar), Jason Baker (bass/vocals) and Dustin Stier (drums/vocals) performs covers and originals including, but not limited to Jim Croce, Fleetwood Mac, Smashing Pumpkins, and 80 & 90’s to current pop radio.

Originally from California, Manila grew up playing all over Los Angeles, performing everywhere from coffee houses to music festivals. He moved to Harbor Beach over ten years ago to start a family. Locally, he has performed at the Maritime Festival, PAK’s Backyard, and number of other shows and festivals. In 2023, Stier, a former member of the band Shoot the Rooster, and Baker joined Manila to form The XoXo’s band. Each brings their unique style to complete an ensemble that’s ready to rock.

The entertainment begins at 10 a.m. downtown at the stage adjacent to the historic gymnasium during the Farmers Market. Bring a lawn chair or blanket and enjoy the free concert during Market hours.  Complete information about the Port Austin Farmers Market can be found at www.portaustinfarmersmarket.com
