Mark August 16 on your calendar. Slightly Stoopid is bringing their show to Beak & Skiff Apple Orchards in the Central NY, and this is one of those nights where the energy in the room is going to be something you remember long after the last note.

About Slightly Stoopid
Slightly Stoopid is a San Diego band that blends reggae, rock, blues, and hip-hop into an easygoing, groove-heavy sound that has made them festival favorites for over two decades. Founded by Kyle McDonald and Miles Doughty, the band was originally signed to Sublime’s Skunk Records label. Their live shows are extended, jam-heavy celebrations of musical versatility and summer vibes. Slightly Stoopid in concert is more than a show; it is a vibe, with the band stretching songs into improvisational journeys that reward close listening and relaxed attention. The outdoor venue setting is perfect for their sound, which was essentially made for warm evenings under open skies.
The Venue
Beak and Skiff Apple Orchards outside Syracuse has become one of Central New York’s most unique concert destinations, hosting outdoor shows surrounded by apple trees and rolling hills. The venue combines the charm of a working orchard with a surprisingly well-organized concert operation that handles crowds smoothly. The on-site cidery and 1911 Spirits distillery mean you will not be short on local beverages to enjoy. This is the kind of venue that makes Upstate New York’s concert scene special and different from what you find anywhere else.
