Story Time at the Roo Bus

The South Star Music Festival in Huntsville, Alabama was an undeniable success, despite the lingering effects of Hurricane Helene. Even with the weather challenges, Huntsville and the organizers behind Bonnaroo delivered an unforgettable music festival. Although one day was impacted, the Roo Bus and TOTEM crew kept the celebration alive and made the most of the missed time. Sharla and Daniel share the full South Star experience, complete with exclusive live audio recordings captured on the festival grounds.

In this episode, we’re celebrating the three-year anniversary of what would have been the epic September 2021 Bonnaroo, a festival that was sadly canceled. While many of us have tried to forget the disappointment of missing out on that incredible lineup, there’s a silver lining we all remember: the DIY "Mini-Roos" that emerged in its wake.

Join Sharla and Daniel as they welcome Shaina and Lindsey to the show, where they’ll dive into how the Bonnaroo community rallied together to create memorable, grassroots events. We'll explore how these Mini-Roos not only helped us cope with the loss but also strengthened the bond within the Bonnaroo family.

Happy Burnaroo!  

We're live from Black Rock City for Burning Man 2024!  Jordan and Ryan join Sharla and Daniel from our campsite at 7:30 and J at BRC to talk about how it compares to Roo, what we can bring from Burning Man to Manchester, and much more.  We also have a ton of mini-interviews with Burners, asking them about the most positive thing that happened for them this past year.  Happy Roo and FYB!

It's getting late in the summer and the festival season is giving way to rumor season!  With tours being announced and clues dropping, we're starting to see how we can fit the puzzle pieces together for Bonnaroo 2025.  Our friends Skyler, Andrew and Evan have done a mountain of homework to give us a realistic look at who the big font names on the poster might be.  Sharla and Daniel also have a few exclusive details about South Star, as well as preview our trip to Burning Man!

Maybe you've seen the viral picture, but you probably haven't heard the story.  JB camped with us this past year, and became a Bonnaroo legend on the rail at the T-Pain show that's going to be talked about for years to come.  Sharla and Daniel run through JB's Roo recap, talk baseball, and much more!
