I really enjoy combining iconic musicians like Joe Walsh with young and talented artists like Gary Clark Jr and creating a festival bill that appeals to both younger generations and older ones–it’s for the whole family. I’m honored to be able to continue to bring incredible music to one of the most beautiful venues in the world.”
