Day three snuck up of us. Usually by day three I am exhausted and looking forward to sleeping in my own bed. But today I had an “oh, shit, it’s day three” moment. I wasn’t ready for it to be over, not yet. We started our day with Mt. Joy. I was surprised at how … [Read more…]
Day two, here we go. And once again, not a single cloud in the sky. Happy Forecastle, indeed. Today, we were in for a slower-paced day – the acts we were interested in were more spread apart today, which was a relief. Having some downtime was a blessing. Day one kinda wiped us out. We … [Read more…]
It’s mid-July in Louisville and you know what that means…it’s Forecastle season. And I am back for my fourth year! Yes, today kicks off this three-day music festival that has become a summer tradition for us. I woke up today wide-eyed and ready to start the weekend. Weeks of anticipation, planning, and putting together the … [Read more…]
About a month ago a friend leaned over to me at a bar with something pulled up on his phone. “Have you seen this yet?” It was a festival lineup. Skeptically, I read through. I hadn’t been super impressed with a lot of the festival lineups this year so my hopes were not high. “Oh … [Read more…]
So you’re visiting Red Rocks Amphitheater – lucky you! It’s truly the most beautiful music venue I have ever been to. I had a LOT of questions before going to my first show there, and found a lot of information in a lot of different places. So I wanted to lay it all out for … [Read more…]
Every year, Forecastle delivers a truly amazing festival. A beautiful location, an awesome lineup, made even better by good company. Held right on the beautiful Louisville riverfront, this is Forecastle’s 16th year wowing audiences. Every year is a little different, which is part of what I love about Forecastle. This year, one of the biggest … [Read more…]
Well that’s a wrap, Forecastle! Today was the final day of Forecastle 2018, and we are already planning our trip for next year. We arrived early today for Ron Gallo. He was wonderful, even through the rain. Oh yes, the skies opened up this afternoon. It was not completely unwelcome though. The temperature dropped, and … [Read more…]
Day two: electric boogaloo! The lineup today was, uh, diverse to say the least. Country, rap, early 2000s pop rock – you name it, they booked it. I kinda love a wacky diverse lineup though. Too much of the same thing can get boring quickly. And boring is a word that has never been used … [Read more…]
Another year, another Forecastle Festival. With this year’s lineup, it was an easy decision to make the three hour drive down to Louisville. Today alone we saw Lucero, Kurt Vile, Father John Misty, and Modest Mouse. Walking through the gates I was immediately swallowed by the Forecastle spirit. This is my third year at Forecastle, … [Read more…]
So you just bought your ticket for your very first music festival! Congratulations! I get questions from a lot of first-timers about what exactly they should pack. It’s so easy to over pack, or under pack if you have no idea what to expect. So I’m going to lay it all out for you. Start … [Read more…]
