“I’m excited about this concert because is will further expand the variety of music that we offer at the fair,” said Pennie Rorex, fair spokesperson. “Our fair’s broad-based entertainment lineup is what makes the Stanislaus County Fair so popular to our diverse community.”

Smash Mouth’s number one hits “Walkin’ on the Sun” and “All Star” are only a few of the bands’ accomplishments and successful hit singles that has consistently impacted radio and the music industry.  “Then the Morning Comes” and “Can’t Get Enough of You Baby” are among others. A cover of The Monkees classic “I’m a Believer,” has recently been featured on the Shrek movie soundtrack.   Their multi-platinum sound can get a quick listen and you will recognize a 60’s influenced garage band with a keen pop sensibility that maintains a timeless quality style created that is all their own.

Smash Mouth will be the opening act for the 2007 Stanislaus County Fair.  One of the band’s co-founders Paul DeLisle says, “Recordings are only one part of the whole.  This band must be seen to be believed.  It’s a nonstop party that we put on nightly.  If we’re coming to your town, it’s a party you won’t want to miss.”
