Preceding the live performances, K-FROG will be on hand to play the hottest new country tunes while guests dance, socialize and enjoy a bevy of delicious food and drink options.

The 21-and-over event takes place on Sunday, May 27 from 4-9 pm at McKenna's on the Bay (190 N. Marina Drive) in Long Beach.
