The Music Issue

When we launched this magazine over three years ago, we had no idea how much our lives would change. From learning about so many incredible people in our community through interviews or filming or meeting our readers and neighbors when they visit our booth at summer music festivals, we’re often amazed by what a single day brings. And we feel so fortunate that we get to work with some incredibly talented people as our business continues to grow.
This music issue was no different. These past two months, we’ve produced an endless amount of videos, welcomed four high school seniors for their end-of-year internship and produced our music issue. It was fun, but a lot of work.
On the drive home from interviewing the 10-year-old guitar phenom Bay, we started talking about what songs we relate to these days. We then challenged ourselves to put together a playlist that illustrates our lives, and we decided to share it with you. So here it is, in no particular order.
