What makes an amazing music festival? A beautiful location, an awesome lineup, and of course, good company. Every year, Forecastle delivers a truly amazing festival. 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 why I love Forecastle so much. … [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 amazing, 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 were seeing 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 … [Read more…]

I remember singing along to Bleachers, dancing in the rain to Tame Impala, and air guitaring to Black Keys. So when I had the opportunity to partner … [Read more…]
Today was the last day of Bunbury 2018. While were sad for it to end, we were also excited to soak our feet after three days of dancing. Today was sold out, and that fact was very clear. Wall to wall people for almost every performance today. Our day started with Black Pistol Fire. They … [Read more…]
I woke up today excited to start day two! Today was the day of nostalgia: Third Eye Blind, Incubus, Andrew McMahon – the artists of my childhood. Not to mention the band I was most excited to see this weekend, Misterwives. Ah, Misterwives. I have loved their music for years, but had never had the … [Read more…]
It’s finally here! Today was day one of Bunbury Music Festival in Cincinnati, OH. After months of growing anticipation, I was so excited to finally walk through those festival gates. VIP check-in was quick and easy, and we were on site in no time. The entrance puts you right in the middle of the festival. … [Read more…]
You don’t sing happy birthday at your own birthday party. Just like you don’t sing “for he’s a jolly good fellow” at your own promotion or whatever. So why would The National sing Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks at their own music festival? Instead, the audience took over, switching roles and serenading the band instead. We all … [Read more…]
