Brian I, like so many of our musician friends, had been looking forward to a summer full of festivals, Blue Skies included. Nowadays we’ve gotten used to that surreal moment when a reminder pops up on our phones for a long-since cancelled show. It’s hard not to get downhearted, thinking of all those roads left untraveled. But we’re doing our best to remember: This is the road we’re on, and why should it be otherwise? And when we do finally get to play in-person shows again, they’ll be all the sweeter. In the meantime, we’l be rocking our commemorative festival tees (just picked up my very own Blue Skies shirt!) and enjoying the gift of this big kid summer:
Be sure to tune in to Blue Skies Music Festival’s virtual mains stage this weekend. So many wonderful artists are scheduled to play, and of course Magoo will be hosting. We'll be closing things off with a performance on Sunday August 2. Here's the YouTube link where the show will be streaming:
