Like I mentioned in recent posts, one of our favorite aspects of summer music festivals is the chance to discover new bands and find up and coming music to add to our iPods! Isn’t everyone looking for that next great song? Well, one night, while jamming to the main stage evening shows, one of the Security Volunteers who I’ve already introduced myself to says, “Hey, do you want me to get you an interview with the female singer of Epic Season?”
“Sure.” Who is Epic Season? is really what I’m thinking. But I love meeting new people and what could it hurt? If anything, I hope it will help me to develop my journalism skills and also give my readers a fun and new way to learn about what’s out there, musically speaking.
“You’ll love them!” She assures me.
And she was right! Epic Season had their first real breakthrough at Soufest. Paul Colman on the Deeper Well Stage told them, “The only thing wrong is that I’m not producing you.” How fun!!
Thanks a million to the sweet volunteer who connected me with Hannah Lavigne the next day for my first video interview with our Sony digital video camera. First the laptop. Then the camera. Finally, I came equipped with the tool I needed to produce my first ever VLOG (video-Blog) on In Search of Waterfalls. Thank you Apple for making iMovie for MTV Producer-wannabes like me.
[**FYI: The interview is only five-ish minutes long followed by one of their songs they performed at Soulfest on the Main Stage. So you can always watch it in two takes if you don’t have ten minutes in one sitting!]
Drum roll please…
