“It’s pretty much like your favorite playlist mixed with an episode of VH1 Storytellers and a dash of whichever competition reality show you fancy. Also, it’s worth mentioning that all the ingredients are local and organic.” – Lucas Gladman

I had a lot of fun last time, and I really wish to go, but I’m gonna be out of the country. Good luck to everyone performing that night. *metaphorical fist bump*
Hes actually pretty funny!
I like how you use Sara Castro’s song at the end of the video. Good exposure for her. She’s a great artist.
Thank you so much @Rebecca, you are super kind!
Excited to come back this year!
