In 2018, Slightly Stoopid are bringing their high energy show across the country with the "School’s Out For Summer Tour" featuring special guests Stick Figure and Pepper. The tour is bringing the band across the country making stops in cities coast to coast as well as festival appearances at Hangout, Summer Camp, Cali Roots, Summerfest, Levitate Music & Arts Festival and Arise Music Festival along the way.
Everyday Life, Everyday People
Slightly Stoopid inspires a collective and community based atmosphere conducive to everyday life, as well as their art. Embracing the art of collaboration, the band is often joined by an arsenal of guests both on stage and in the studio. Special guest appearances on this LP include Ali Campbell (UB40), Alborosie, G. Love, Chali 2na (Jurassic 5), Don Carlos, Yellowman, Sly Dunbar (Sly and Robbie) and more.
Everyday Life, Everyday People was inspired by the band’s hometown, Ocean Beach/San Diego, CA. To bring the vibe of their hometown visually, the band worked with friend and renowned artist Jay Alders who hand painted the cover art for Everyday Life, Everyday People. Alders is widely known for his surf art paintings.
Everyday Life, Everyday People was recorded at various studios across the world in San Diego, CA, Los Angeles, CA, Kingston, Jamaica, Long Beach, CA, New York, NY, and Miami, FL. It was produced by Slightly Stoopid, James M. Wisner, George Spits (LlamaBeats), Michael “Miguel” Happoldt, Jerry Wonda, Colin “Bulby” York.

Slightly Stoopid and Cloud 9 Adventures have announced the return of Closer to the Sun, an all-inclusive tropical destination concert vacation held over four nights from November 30-December 4, 2018. Host band Slightly Stoopid with special guests will perform three full shows, with fan-favorite artists Stick Figure and Pepper performing two shows each. Michael Franti & Spearhead and G.

Ali Campbell, Astro & Mickey, plus Thievery Corporation, Alborosie, The Expendables, HIRIE, and The Movement are also joining the party.
Venturing into its fifth year, the event has changed venues and is heading to the beautiful Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya in Puerto Aventuras, Mexico while still maintaining the intimacy that Closer to the Sun fans have come to know and love. The event continues to prove an amazing experience for guests and artists alike, as performances are scheduled across a variety of unique venues – a main stage in front of the Caribbean Sea, beachfront sunset shows, and late night parties – all within easy walking distance to all-inclusive suites and amenities.
This unforgettable experience extends way beyond the music, bringing artists and fans together in a close-knit community in paradise. From poolside games, daily yoga, and casual artist interactions to theme nights, Closer to the Sun curates the ultimate experience. Fans will also have access to Woodward – with indoor skate boarding & BMX biking, trampolines, foam pit, indoor ski & snowboard equipment, Ninja obstacle course, and more.
