Ravinia 2026 Issue 3

MAGICCITYHIPPIES Magic City Hippies have carved out a dis- tinct place in the indie landscape, blending Miami’s sun-soaked swagger with infectious funk, psych-pop, and danceable grooves. What began as the Robby Hunter Band evolved in with the release of Magic City Hippies , the album that gave the trio its name and solid- i ed a sound both laid-back and relentlessly kinetic. Since then, the band has built a repu- tation for genre- uid songwriting and high-en- ergy performances, earning spots at such ma- jor festivals as Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, and Lollapalooza. eir early Hippie Castle EP ( ) introduced their signature mix of pool- side melodies and weekend-ready rhythms. Modern Animal ( ) expanded that palette with a deeper, beachside sensibility, while Wa- ter Your Garden ( ) served as a psychedelic post-pandemic celebration of connection and self-expression. In , the band returned with a run of stylistically diverse singles, from the disco-funk of “Givin’ Up On Lovin’ ” (featuring NoMBe) to the acid-house-tinged psych-pop of “I Can’t Let You Go,” culminating in Enemies ( ), a groove-centered breakup album full of emotionally charged, rhythm-driven tracks. Marrying an indie-rock punch with nostalgic, synth-forward textures, Enemies re ected a group willing to evolve without losing the es- sence of their sound. ough their recordings have drawn both critical and fan acclaim, Mag- ic City Hippies are best known for their live shows: sweaty, exuberant, and e ortlessly en- gaging. eir ability to convert casual listeners into loyal fans is the result of years of relentless touring, musical chemistry, and an unapologet- ic commitment to making every show feel like a celebration. e Magic City Hippies are making their Ravinia debut.
