I drove through Hartford last night and did a double-take when I saw a billboard for this. with you...not enough to get me to go, but hopefully has some staying power and could be interested in future line-ups

maybe lacking a really exciting headliner...but...if I can put together a festy LIVE schedule of Sturgill, Khruangbin, Pretty Lights, Leon Bridges, Norah, Jungle, Porter Robinson, Orville Peck, Still Woozy, Vince Staples, Elderbrook, Hermanos Gutierrez, Santigold, Glass Beams, Bob Schnieder, and...
