Suwannee Hulaween 2022
It feels like a lifetime ago, but was in fact only three years ago that I had my first experience attending the annual Suwannee Hulaween music festival at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida. It left a lasting impression, but little did I know how bittersweet it would become being one of the last music festival experiences I got to have before the pandemic hit.

GroundUp Music Festival 2020, Michael League gets Snarky
You can't throw a rock without hitting a music festival nowadays. From the mainstream expansions of huge events like Bonnaroo or Coachella, down to your neighborhood blues fest in the park. This doesn't have to be a bad thing, and can be a great way to discover new music while being immersed for extended periods of time. If you can get over your inner hipster and appreciate the idea behind them, you see past the usually commercialized interests that end up making the whole thing a bit more sterile and forced than you hope. Fortunately, with a festival like GroundUp there's absolutely none of that to deal with and all you're left with is an unfettered desire to enjoy the music in good company.

Will You Go To Prom With Me?
Few things make it past the one year mark in Miami and even less can claim to have lasted for a decade, so it's a pretty big deal when an event has been going strong here for 17 years. A collaborative production between Sweat Records and Vagabonds at Large (the former owner of The Vagabond, the now-closed beloved Miami staple) the prom returns this year to its new home at Gramps in Wynwood.
