Episode #1146 Celebrating 20 festivals of amazing and diverse music in the woods at the Trout Forest Music Festival, programmed by our friend Devin Latimer! Devin took over booking the music for the festival in 2007, and I've been a regular attendee and a huge fan ever since! 2026 marks his 20th festival (including a couple of off-site festivals) and I thought it was worth a look back at some of my personal highlights from those festivals. Thank you Devin for coming up with one of the most impressive and entertaining lineups on a shoestring budget. It really is remarkable how great he's done over the past 20 years. Here's hoping for many more! Trout Forest Music Festival: troutfest.com playlist: https://wp.me/p1lizT-hw1
