MERGE4 at Sublime Life: A Sobriety Festival Presented by the Nowell Family Foundation

Oceanside came alive again for the second annual Sublime Life: A Sobriety Festival, presented by the Nowell Family Foundation—and MERGE4 was proud to be part of it. This isn’t your average festival. It’s a celebration of recovery, creativity, and community, all rooted in the mission to support musicians struggling with addiction.

We’ve been connected to this cause since early on—creating the very first Bradley’s House socks and doing whatever we can to support the vision of Kellie Nowell, whose strength and heart continue to inspire us and so many others.

Urethane brought the energy during their set—and yes, MERGE4 socks were tossed from the stage (thanks Tim and Steve), keeping the crowd on their toes. Skateboarding icon and MERGE4 socks collaborator Steve Caballero, who plays in the band, also had a tent filled with his artwork and creative projects. Always great seeing him in his element, whether it’s on stage or surrounded by art.

The day was packed with amazing music, live art, and some seriously good food. The festival grounds buzzed with people connecting over shared purpose, artistry, and the message that sobriety and creativity can go hand-in-hand.


         

We’re honored to support the Nowell Family Foundation—and we’re already looking forward to next year.
