This week on I’m With The Band, I sit down with Christian Perez — the creator of Fall Fest, one of Tucson’s fastest-growing live music experiences.

No blueprint. No guarantees. Just a vision… and the guts to chase it.

Christian breaks down how Fall Fest went from an idea in his head to a full-scale event bringing together artists, fans, and the entire Tucson music community.

We talk about:

• What it really takes to build a festival from scratch
• The risks nobody sees behind the scenes
• The reality of working with artists, budgets, and expectations
• Why Tucson’s music scene is more powerful than people realize
• How betting on yourself can actually pay off
