Palmetto signs rock band SmashMouth to headline July Fourth Festival

PALMETTO -- Palmetto Community Redevelopment Agency Director Jeff Burton announced late Monday that the rock band SmashMouth will headline this year's annual July Fourth Festival in Sutton Park.

The multi-platinum band formed in 1994 and produced top-1- singles like "Then the Morning Comes," "All-Star", and "Can't Get Enough of you Baby," from their second album "Astrolounge," but that was after their debut album "Fush You Mang" went double platinum.

SmashMouth's rock reputation transferred to Hollywood, where the band showed their creative talent by producing much of the music for the hit "Shrek," and has showcased their support for troops serving overseas by performing in places like Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

The band features founding members Steve Harwell and Paul DeLisle along with keyboardist Mike Klooster who has been part of the SmashMouth tradition for the past 17 years. Guitarist Sean Hurwitz and dummer Jason Sutter solidify the band's 2016 line-up.
