Special Guests - The Atomic Lollipops

The Atomic Lollipops are a dynamic, student-led modern band. Based in South Miami-Dade and Homestead, the group has spent the past five years inspiring audiences and uplifting their community through powerful performances that blend unity, resilience, and artistic expression.

Their multi-instrumental approach allows them to layer sounds, experiment with genre-blending arrangements, and deliver everything from soulful ballads and funk grooves to rock anthems and Latin-inspired jams.

More than a band, the Atomic Lollipops are a musical family. Each member brings their own story, culture, and influences, creating a collaborative sound that reflects the diversity of their community. Guided by Guitars Over Guns’ mission, they use music as both a creative outlet and a vehicle for change, earning a reputation for high-energy performances, emotional authenticity, and a deep commitment to service through music.

Amperband

Featuring legal talent from McCarter & English
Rocking for CABA Pro Bono Legal Services

Amperband is comprised of legal & musical legends from McCarter & English. Why are we called Amperband? It's our tribute to the mighty '&' symbol, the unsung hero that connects words & phrases, like we connect our Amperfans to chart topping hits from the greatest eras of music.

Amperband was formed in 2023 debuting at Johnny Cash Bar & BBQ in Nashville. Besides Tennessee, Amperband has graced stages in NYC, DC & Florida with our distinctive three guitar sound. Now we’ve taken a page out of Lebron James’ playbook & will be taking our talents to South Beach to play both Miami and NYC Law Rocks this year!

Amperband boasts as much expertise in riffs & rhythms as we do in regulations & rulings. The band includes seven members from five McCarter offices & a whole lot of legal wit & even more musical talent. So, if you are Amperfan material (& we know you are!), welcome to the Amperfamily!

The Meltones

Judge - Daniel Socek

Self-taught as a child growing up in Serbia, Daniel was influenced by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and MTV hits from the 80s and 90s. Though always drawn to the deep groove and harmonic magic of the bass guitar, it wasn’t easy to get a bass guitar back then. Instead, Daniel played rhythm guitar and sang in several hard rock bands in Novi Sad, including Invalid Minds and Aloha, both of which gained a loyal local following in Serbia.

After moving to the U.S. for college for a sports scholarship, Daniel took a musical break until the 2010s, when he finally picked up his dream instrument: a Geddy Lee Signature Bass. He eventually teamed up in 2015 with Stacey for the original Rock Candy Rock Band. The band rocked the local scene until 2021, when a pandemic and a tragedy struck. The band lost its drummer unexpectedly and went its separate ways. Daniel is excited to be back with Rock Candy 2.0 recharged and ready to “kickstart your hearts!” Daniel also moonlights as the singers’ security guard, due to his 6’5” height and muscular Serbian frame. He’s a teddy bear, though. He can also sing.
