My body still aches from tromping around Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, IL. It was a weekend filled with friends who had traveled from all across the country to enjoy one beautiful weekend together and get the funk down. As I return to my everyday life, I cannot get my mind off of how great […]

This Festival has thrusted itself into new territory […]

Walking through the hallways of a Dallas high school to drop off a clothing donation, I eavesdropped on a young group of girls who were frantically debating whether they should attend the upcoming Something Wonderful, a single day EDM festival taking place on April 18th at the Cotton Bowl. This would have been my opportunity […]

Article by Andy Beyer. Arriving at Carson Creek Ranch on Thursday night before Euphoria Music Festival, I knew it would be a great weekend when one of the festival partners serendipitously found me and golf-carted me to our own special VIP camping area. For my second year at Euphoria, I took hiatus from musical performance […]

Festival Coverage
Serenity Gathering was a weekend flowing with inspiration and beauty. The drive up to La Jolla Indian Reservation from San Diego, California started the trip off on the perfect foot. Winding up into the mountains of the Puma Valley, myself and assistant writer Josh Krol drove through winding miles of scenery, including an orange farm […]

There’s something special about New Orleans. While it’s indisputable reputation as a cultural melting pot definitely aids in its magical pull, there’s a reason herds of people come through NOLA for a taste of the Cajun lifestyle, and on this particular weekend, BUKU Music + Art Project was ours. We started out our first day […]

As we made our descent upon the old desert town of Tucson, Lauren and I were riddled with uncontainable excitement. Though it’d be my second year of the festival and Lauren’s first, our levels on the stoked factor were just as equally off the charts. After 12 hours of driving, the sight of a landscape […]
Festival Coverage
The beauty that is known as Art Outside was held last month from October 24-27th just outside of my unofficial, but beloved home of Austin, Texas. With 2014 commemorating the homegrown festivals’ 10th year anniversary, I was more than excited to see just how my favorite gathering planned to celebrate. Although this year’s AO would […]

Since returning from F.A.R.M. Fest in Vernon NJ this past weekend, I’ve needed a few days to re-adjust to the banality of regular life after taking part in such an incredible atmosphere for three full days. Everything about this festival, from the artists, the staff, and especially the attendees, were like-minded with giving their all […]
