M3F Festival 2025

This year I headed West to escape some of Ohio’s winter - and see one of the best lineups I've seen in a 2 festival!  M3F Fest had an list of artists and I’ll include everyone I saw below.  I won’t review each one, but the video is a collection of my favorite 15 seconds (or so) from each performance of the weekend.  Seeing Phoenix was great too!  Definitely want to go back:

Brite Winter Festival (2025)

Brite Winter Festival, this year on the East Bank of the Flats!  Loved it - as always. 

BoomBox (2/12/25)

Another BoomBox show show at the Beachland Ballroom, another great reason to dance.  Met some really fun people that night...

Of course it’s always a delight to see Joey Sardelle warm up a crowd.

The Halluci Nation (6/15/24)

I was killing a little time before heading to crobar, so I decided to swing by and catch The Halluci Nation at The Aslyum at Masonic Auditorium.  I had first caught up with this band back in 2012 with their A Tribe Called Red album, and was glad to see see them putting out music!  Not a bad show, but was *really* glad I had my ear plugs for this one.

Portola 2022

This had to be one of the best Festival lineups I’d ever seen.  I’m so thankful to have good friends living in SF to host a trip like this!

Funk N Flow 2022

Finally, my first weekend event at Nelson Ledges Quarry Park!  I’ve been going during the week to swim for years, but to finally see the full campground and music festival experience was a whole ‘nother level.   Had some great homies from Nelsonville Music Festival up joining us.  Swimming in the quarry during the day is what really made this event.  Can’t wait for another one!

Movement 2022

First Movement back from the pandemic.  SO GOOD TO BE BACK.
