    Dengue Fever takes the stage for a standing-room-focused concert featuring the band’s distinctive blend of hypnotic grooves, psychedelic and surf-tinged textures, Afro-influenced rhythms, and cinematic flair.

The lineup features Chhom Nimol on vocals, Senon Williams on bass, Zac Holtzman on guitar and vocals, Ethan Holtzman on keyboards, Paul Smith on drums, and David Ralicke on horns.
