Ever wondered how music festivals can spark deeper human connections? Get ready to explore the transformative power of the Ramble Festival, as we chat with founder Brick Lohr and collaborator in this year's Ramble, Kris Howland of Heady Wax Fiends.

Discover the innovative partnerships shaping the festival scene, like the vinyl submission contest by Heady Wax Fiends. It is collaboration between individuals like Kris and Brick, who are enhancing the festival experience by merging music with vinyl culture. This artistic initiative not only offers artists the chance to join the Ramble festival lineup but also supports them in producing their next album on vinyl. It's an inspiring example of how connections and creative ideas can elevate the festival experience and provide musicians with unique opportunities beyond the stage.

We talk a bit about the balance between passion and career as we highlight the joys of pursuing what you love through passion projects like podcasts and festivals. We emphasize the importance of authenticity and staying true to one's passions, even when they aren't the main source of income. As we gear up for the Ramble Festival, featuring acts like Chris Jacobs and The California Honey Drops, we celebrate the bonds formed through shared musical interests. The episode underscores our gratitude for community spaces that allow us to connect, recharge, and carry the festival spirit into everyday life, enriching the world with unity and joy.
