This Week's Podcast Episode
In episode 35 of Music Festivals Podcast, I was privileged to sit down with one of my all time favorite singer-songwriters and guitarists, Ed Mcgee to talk about memories from Hookahville's past and the upcoming 60 edition of this Ohio-grown Music Festival. Ed also shares some interesting things about his personal creative process as he discusses writing music for films, including the inspiration behind the 2023 single, "Last Good Knife." We wrap up with stories of Hookahville's past and raise a glass to good friends past.
Festival Performance of the Week
The New Mastersounds headlined Sunday night of the Whippersnap Music & Arts Festival held in Brooksville, Florida at the Florida Sands Music Ranch from from February19th - 22nd, 2025. This British four-piece band is renowned for their infectious blend of jazz, soul, and boogaloo, drawing inspiration from the iconic sounds of Booker T and The Meters.
Formed in Leeds in 1999 by guitarist Eddie Roberts and drummer Simon Allen, the band later added bassist Pete Shand and, in 2007, keyboardist Joe Tatton, replacing Bob Birch on organ and piano.

Heyo Neighbors, I'm NeighborN8...
If you're here, we probably met at a festival. Or just maybe you heard about Music Festivals Podcast in the campground from your neighbors. Maybe you were searching for deals on camping gear and found is that way, who knows? However you landed on this website, I'm sure glad your here.
