MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – The Higher Logic Project comes to Middletown Art Center on Friday, Aug. 23, from 7:30 to 11:30 p.m.

The MAC welcomes this beloved local band to perform in the MAC gallery, surrounded by artwork from the “Nature” exhibit currently on view.

DJs will provide additional dance music. Enjoy Reggae-infused dance rock and soulful melodies with lyrical consciousness.

The cover charge is $12. A no-host bar will be onsite.

The performance is the Higher Logic Project’s debut of it newest lineup which is bursting with flavor and harmony.

“We have added a new drummer, keyboardist, guitarist, steel pan and three new vocalists to add even more spice to our sounds as we prepare to get back in the studio to cook up something new for our fans!” said Dooby Logic, founder of the band.

Dooby (Derek) Wells, lead vocalist and song-writer, began his venture into reggae under the moniker Fuzzy Logic.

Wells has been a local fixture in the Lake County music scene for a number of years. Originally from Santa Barbara, he has made a home for himself here, a place where he can truly express himself and where his “creativity flows through his heart.”

In a shared vision of enriching life in South Lake County through the arts, Matt Barash of Luvbug Presents has partnered with MAC to bring live musical performances to the area. Concerts will feature both local musicians and guests from afar.

Up next on Sept. 27 is headliner Milk for the Angry, an alternative psychedelic rock band from the Bay Area with local bands, Wormhead, Death and Taxes and JFK.

“We hope that these shows will be set the foundation for exciting live musical performances here for a long time to come,” said Barash. “If you are a local band looking to be heard and seen in a Lake County feel free to send your inquiries to This email address is being protected from spambots.
