We are kicking off this season properly by interviewing Mr Festival himself, Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon and the High Hawks. He shows us the true resilience required to be a touring musician that remains as occupied as he is.

A few festival news highlights and announcements are also discussed as we look forward to celebrating the 10th year of the Blue Ox Music Festival this June 27-29 in Eau Claire, WI.
