What.A.Sunday. WHAT A FEST! Todays was a great day and a perfect set of shows to end the fest on. SOLD OUT Bruch show, Great Olde Salem show, and, to round out the day, a powerful show at Spot on Kirk!

Give us your feedback! We would love to hear how we did, good and things to improve!

Most importantly, thank you to all those who attended 1 show or multiple. You had a good time, but you also gave people an audience to share their voice, stories, and laughs. This fest would be NOTHING without a great crowd.
