In this episode of the Music Festivals PodcastI’m recapping my incredible experience at the 21st Watermelon Pickers Festival in Berryville, Virginia.

I had the pleasure of meeting some camp neighbors along the way, from Mark Stewart of  @StayFreshcheese  who joined me on production, and to reflect on what festivals truly mean to those who go—to longtime vendor Steve Higgins, who reclaims old antiques and creates new art. There was also my unforgettable conversations with festival attendee Johnny, who shared wild tales from the San Francisco music scene and his escapades at Burning Man.

In this episode of the Music Festivals Podcast, I was thrilled to sit down with the incredibly talented Bronwyn Keith-Hynes.

We talked all about her Grammy-nominated vocal album "I Built a World," what it was like transitioning from being known strictly as a fiddler to stepping up as a vocalist, and the journey that led her there—including the influence of the American Roots Program at Berklee and inspirations from greats like Molly Tuttle.

Bronwyn opens up about the challenges and excitement of recording and performing her own songs, the creative process of assembling her ensemble, and how her marriage to fellow fiddler and musician Jason Carter intertwines with her career

In this episode of Music Festivals Podcast, I sit down with OJ Wilson, the heart behind the Lazy Jam Music Festivals, to get the inside story on how this unique festival has not only survived but thrived for seven years.

OJ shares how Lazy Jam started as a small gathering of friends and slowly grew into a tight-knit community—still keeping its grassroots, backyard feel with thoughtful touches like reserved camping spots and community fire pits. We talk about what it takes to maintain the beautiful land where Lazy Jam takes place, including the dedicated army of friends and family who keep everything running, plus the legacy of his late best friend Jay, whose spirit truly lingers through every detail of the festival.

We also go deep on this year’s music lineup and big upgrades—OJ walks us through the fresh new stage, some standout acts, and a few surprises he's especially excited about.

If you’re curious about what makes a smaller festival feel like home, or just want a peek into the passion that drives these gatherings, this episode has all the details. Hope to see you at Lazy Jam this September—tickets are still available!

In this episode of Music Festivals Podcast, I’m recapping a wild and muddy weekend moshing at INKcarceration 2025, the massive metal and tattoo festival at the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio.

It was extra special this year because I got to bring my son Kaden along to rock out at his very first music festival. I break down everything you need to know before you go: from the heavy-hitting lineups featuring bands like Slipknot, Five Finger Death Punch, and Falling in Reverse, to insider tips on camping, shuttle logistics, and snagging those coveted tattoo and prison tour spots.

In this episode of Music Festivals Podcast, I sit down for a fireside chat with Jesse Iaquinto from Fireside Collective. We talk about the role that family plays both on and off the stage, Jesse’s life in Asheville, North Carolina, and what it’s like to bring his wife and young daughter along to festivals and shows. Jesse shares some heartfelt stories about musical moments with his daughter, how music lessons are evolving for her, and how the bluegrass and jam band community truly feels like a second family.

We also get into the evolution of Fireside Collective’s sound, including their transition from traditional bluegrass to exploring a wider mix of genres after adding drums to their lineup. Jesse opens up about the band’s creative process, choosing cover songs, and what it takes to reach those electrifying flow-state moments on stage—especially during festivals.

We wrap up with a look at their upcoming shows like Watermelon Pickers Festival, and the excitement around their new single, “Memphis in the Morning,” plus news of their forthcoming album.
