Summary Ed Vincent, the founder of FestivalPass, discusses the motivation behind creating a membership-driven platform for live events. He highlights the lack of brand loyalty and community in the ticketing industry and the frustration of non-transparent ticketing fees. Ed shares his entrepreneurship background and experience working with MoviePass, which taught him valuable lessons about building a sustainable subscription-driven business. Festival Pass aims to provide members a sense of community and loyalty, offering cost savings, exclusive benefits, and a credit-based currency model similar to ClassPass. The platform also has a Web 3 component, with a lifetime pass available as a digital asset on the Ethereum blockchain. FestivalPass offers a lifetime membership with access to over 80,000 live events and hotels worldwide. The lifetime membership is a digital asset that can be bought and sold on a secondary market. It also comes with $1,200 worth of credits each year that can be used for events, hotel rooms, and other future use cases.

Hey Festival Friends! What do you get when you combine great food, the best California wine, top chefs and top Food Network personalities with great weather? You get the Del Mar Wine & Food Festival. On this episode, our guest is Food Network personality and the co-founder of the Del Mar Wine & Food Festival, Troy Johnson. A lifelong San Diego resident, Troy takes us through his career as a music and food writer and TV personality to launching this incredible festival in the city he loves. For a decade now (yes, a decade) Troy has been a featured judge on Guy's Grocery Games on the Food Network and takes us behind the scenes to the hilarious story of the first time he met Guy Fieri himself. Troy also shares his story of taking over San Diego Magazine with his wife and doing his part to use that platform to lift up restaurants during and after the pandemic. The inaugural Del Mar Wine & Food Festival will feature the best chefs of San Diego and the Baja Peninsula and will feature key events like a Dos Hombres Mezcal pairing dinner with Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston. We also hear there will be a dry aged bone marrow tasting, which we've never seen on the food festival circuit before. There will also be appearances by other celebrities including Surfing Champion Rob Machado and a celebrity PickleBall Tournament hosted by Drew Brees! Mark your calendars for September 6-11 and be there in San Diego for all the action!

Is there anything quite like an Atlanta live music festival? They are famous, but one in the 90's was infamous and it's now back, in modern form. Freaknik Festival was so over the top that Hulu recently released a mini-series: Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told. On this episode of FestivalPass Stories, our Host Pat Tully goes behind the scenes with one of Atlanta's legendary party promoters, Carlos Neal, to hear the stories behind why he decided to bring back the 90's festival that still has people talking. With a Master's Degree in in data science and machine learning and an undergraduate degree in finance, Calos delivers a unique set of skills, employing data and modeling to prepare budgets, projections and capacity for all his events. Those elements were missing from the original FreakNik Festival and will make this version a safer, more enjoyable party while still keeping its edge. Neal's After 9 Partners group has added a non-profit foundation to Freaknik, making it a true party with a purpose. Freaknik is sponsored by MetaWorks and MusicFX which is also adding a digital wallet element and NFT offerings for the artists. Find out more about Freaknik, how to get tickets and the lineup on this episode. Hear more about these stories and some great music festival stories here on this episode of FestivalPass Stories.

Ed Vincent is the founder of the subscription-based live-events SaaS platform Festival Pass. He joins Ryan to talk about some ground-breaking concepts including how to integrate Amazon primes business model and NFTs into your business to create your own capital! Ed also discusses the alternatives to raising capital through venture capitalists and what this looks like in reality as well as reveals the biggest mistakes people make with subscription-based businesses. KEY TAKEAWAYS Festival Pass uses a membership model where consumers pay a monthly or annual fee to join the platform and receive credits in exchange depending on what level they pay for. Ed is beginning to bridge the gap between Web3 and live events by introducing an NFT based subscription model. Festival Pass get its tickets and other products from a variety of primary and secondary sources, allowing them to provide variety, volume and value. Transparent pricing is one of Festival Passes core concepts and one of the things that differentiate them form their competition. Consistently raising capital every 6-12 months with strategic individuals is one of the ways that FestivalPass have been able to avoid institutional capital. Festival Pass is starting to work with influencers but instead of paying in cash, paying them with products, such as free festival tickets. FestivalPass have an inbuilt reward system to keep people committed to returning and staying on the app. You can't purely focus on growth in subscription business models, you have to ensure every transaction makes a net profit. When creating NFTs for your business, use it as an extension of your core product offering but treat it as a shared ownership in the success of the company that has value today and potential future investment too. It's both a utility and a benefit. BEST MOMENTS “We have over 70k users on the platform” “Once you're a member you get all these benefits, so you'd never want to not be a member” “Our goal truly is to sell 10k of them (NFTs) this year” “Every single business in this world will be on Web3 in 5-10 years time” “The more you commit to being on the platform the higher your reward” Do You Want The Closing Secrets That Helped Close Over $125 Million in New Business for Free?"

Fans of the 2000's music, this one's for you! Our Host, Pat Tully sits down with one of the most prolific indie pop singer-songwriters of the past two decades, Andrew McMahon. Pat takes us on a musical journey of Andrew's meteoric rise through his early days with the group Something Corporate, which he started in high school, to his first solo project Jack's Mannequin to his current solo project Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness. Andrew has been writing songs since he was 9 years old and led Something Corporate to major chart success in the early 2000's before branching out on his own. Along the way, Andrew used personal painful and joyful experiences in his life to fuel his music. His own personal health struggles were the influence in many of his solo numbers and motivated him to start the Dear Jack Foundation to provide programming to benefit adolescents and young adults diagnosed with cancer. His new album Tilt at the Wind No More comes five years after his last release, Upside Down Flowers. The album captures McMahon at a turning point: celebrating his 40th birthday and 15 years of marriage, raising a daughter, hiring a whole new team, life! On this album he works with Producer Tommy English (K. Flay, Carly Rae Jepsen) and Producer Jeremy Hatcher (Harry Styles, Shawn Mendes).

Festival friends, welcome back to another episode of FestivalPass Stories. On this episode our host, Pat Tully brings us a “force to be reckoned with,” which is what the media says about the Synth-Pop trio of Kayah, Emily and Leah AKA Moonkissed. The band burst onto the scene after meeting at a party on New York's lower east side. It was love at first sight and the band immediately clicked. Tully talks to them about how they not only met and clicked, but how they got through the difficulty of the pandemic while not being able to perform for their loyal fan base. The Pandemic brought about serious creativity from artists and Moonkissed was no exception. Their song “Clubbing in your bedroom” resonated with everyone and became an instant hit. Kayah Cohen on the track: 'Clubbing In Your Bedroom,” is an invitation to get dressed up for no one and nothing and to move your body in order to heal. The song was written in an attempt for salvation and levity amidst pandemic despair.' Now back on the live music and festival circuit, Moonkissed were named a SXSW official Artist in 2022, a big moment for the band. To be Moonkissed is to be loved and we know you will feel ‘Moonkissed' and inspired by this awesome band after listening to this episode.

In entrepreneurship, determination always goes a long way. According to Ed, his determination has played a massive role in making him the successful businessperson he is today. His entrepreneurial spirit kicked in when he was 13. He has failed in a couple of businesses, but today he is doing great at the Festival Pass; a platform that provides frictionless access to live events and uses the points system for its members to gain access to events. (Their model is like Amazon Prime's, where you pay a certain amount of membership fees and enjoy fast deliveries with no transport costs.) More About Ed's Platform. Festival Pass believes you deserve transparency. They will never add fees at the end of any of your purchase. The price you see is the price you pay; and including their no added fees policy, members pay up to 30% less than you will pay elsewhere. You also have an Amazon prime membership to get free shipping and other unique perks. They help you discover events you love and give you access to thousands of events with a unique credit system. As a member, you can also book your hotel for significant discounts using your member credits. Who is Ed Vincent? He has been an entrepreneur for over 25 years, and has had multiple companies along the way. He's currently super passionate about working on festival Pass, and has also successfully built and exited other businesses. Ed's inner superpower Ed believes his inner superpower is determination. It has seen him through difficult business times. Determination gave him the courage to build other businesses even after failing, especially in the early days of the internet.

Welcome back festival friends! We love talking music on FPS and the more unique, the better. On this episode, our Host, Pat Tully talks with the incredibly unique sound of Dixon's Violin, the world's premier visionary violinist. What makes him so unique is how Dixon merges his love of technology with the love of the violin to create a sound unlike any other. Dixon developed his own “looping system” based on the idea that if it can be done with the guitar, why not for the violin? In one of his TED Talks (he's done four), he uses the looping system to create a brand-new song that not only the audience has never heard, but Dixon himself has never heard either! Dixon has played at festivals, corporate events, but mostly just for himself and the love of the music. In every performance, Dixon's goal is to inspire people and he definitely inspired us.

Music fans, festival fans, you are in for a treat on this episode of FestivalPass Stories as our Host, Pat Tully, interviews award winning recording artist, Crystal Starr...and yes, she would like you to know that is her real name! Crystal takes us inside the “Starrship,” her home recording studio, to share with us her life in music and how she taken her talent to the ‘stars.' From a young age, Crystal was performing for her family and friends with ease. There's talent, but when that talent is combined with a stage presence, you have the making of a star and that was evident at an early age with Crystal. It was no surprise that SOURCE Magazine dubbed her “The girl with the golden voice” because we heard it ourselves. Her influences come from many genres but the 80's simply drip from her music. From playing festivals like “Electric Forest” to her philanthropic work with “Little Voices,” her style and passion shine through. We had a great time in the Starrship and we know you will too. Enjoy! Hear more about these stories and some great music festival stories here on this episode of FestivalPass Stories.

Welcome back festival friends. Today, our host, Pat Tully sits down with Food Blogger, Content Creator, Brand Ambassador, Culinary Traveler, Recipe Developer and Social Media Consultant Chef Dennis Littley. Yes, the man has done it all from institutional food service for hundreds a day to small private dinner parties, Chef Dennis has done it all. A lifelong love of food started when Chef Dennis saw the “Galloping Gourmet” TV show. Life takes us all in different career directions and we rarely get to do what we love. Chef Dennis was heading down the wrong path of accounting when he finally woke up and went back to school for a degree in food science. From there he took jobs in nursing homes and restaurants to build his skill set and resume and soon those jobs turned into a career in his passion, food. After turning lunch at a high school into a can't miss ‘experience' he turned his attention to coaching amateur chefs and demystifying home cooking so people can make restaurant style and restaurant quality meals. On his website AskChefdennis.com he holds the hand of all of us out there who desire to be able to cook for our loved ones or host a dinner party.

Ivan Jackson is the unique front man of Brasstracks. In this episode, Pat Tully sits down with Ivan to discuss his life in music and how his passion drives him. Growing up in a musical family, Ivan's Dad was offered the band leader job on one of the longest running shows on TV. He tells the story of how his father said “no” and how that led to even bigger moves for his family. Ivan attended the famous LaGuardia High School in Manhattan, the performing arts public high school that inspired the hit 80's drama “Fame.” From there he continued his education and quickly went into business for himself producing music in a Brooklyn loft he rented with a friend. That hustle would continue as he continued to make a name for himself, collaborating with the likes of international K-Pop sensation BTS as well as Mark Ronson, Miley Cyrus and many more. Soon a collaboration with Chance The Rapper would lead to 2 Grammy Nominations. Another with Harry Styles would lead to another.

In this episode, we discuss the value as well as the limitations of subscription models in Web2 and ways in which Web3 could make life a little easier for NFT projects. From day one of his latest project, Ed has made it his mission to create a reward-based NFT that continuously delivers a tangible utility, giving back to his community. He walks us through the origin of his Festival Family project and how users will be able to leverage credits gained by holding the NFT to attend live events across the United States. Shared experiences and the ability to loan out NFTs to friends & family are being seen across multiple projects. We discuss the value of offering holders this utility and whether there are plans to include the ability to do this with his project. He also offers great advice to those looking to pitch to those new to the NFT space to normies who haven't had that “ah-ha moment” and explains how focusing on the things they already know and understand is the key to bridging that gap for most. A solid conversation from an individual who has lived and breathed live events his entire career…this episode is one you won't want to miss! https://www.festivalpass.com/ -- Sponsor: CRYPTO BUSINESS CONFERENCE Oct 9-11th San Diego You'll discover the latest Web3 tactics and strategies to improve your business Are you curious about NFTs and Web3, but have thought, “I'll just wait and see what happens”?

Welcome back festival friends! When music and Summer meet in Atlanta it can mean only one thing: Festival season! On this episode, our host, Pat Tully, sits down with the founder of The Candler Park Music Festival, Josh Antenucci. Josh cut his teeth in the live events business in Washington, DC, where he began working in bars, nightclubs and live events while at George Washington University in the heart of downtown DC. His love of music and live event production led him to launch his own DC music festival and would lay the foundation for his next move further south to Atlanta.

Since its origin, Rival Entertainment has narrowed focus on the creation and production of unique live concert experiences, which Antenucci produces, overseeing event operations, production, concessions & safety.

Welcome back, festival friends. On this episode of festivalPass Stories, our host, Pat Tully, sits down with a guy who was born in the home of The Blues, Memphis.

The founder of “Lost Art Music Festival” started his music career when he began hosting a radio show at the University of Georgia. Upon graduating, he immediately went to work for Vanguard Records and then onto a digital marketing agency where he worked directly with talent and brands on major campaigns. He then joined City Winery and helped to grow the company to multiple US Cities beyond NYC where it all started. At City Winery, a live music venue focused on intimate entertainment and fine food and drink, he got the idea too launch a festival for fans of his favorite music and what he calls “The best in Americana.” Now in it's second official year (after a forced Covid pause), the festival will feature some of the best blues and Americana music. It takes place at the Foxhall Resort outside of Atlanta. Festival attendees can expect a true hospitality experience like they would get at City Winery, with great beer, wine and food options.

Friends, welcome back to FPS. We LOVE talking music and on this episode, our Host, Pat Tully, sits down with artist Bill Small. As far back as Bill can remember, there was music in the small household and he got the bug early, thanks to his sisters taste in music.

Theater was a big love in Bill's life and in high school he worked at the Whole Theater company in New. Jersey. After high school he went to the Berklee College of Music in Boston. He eventually made his way to Austin, TX where he has been a member of a few bands. The next (and current) stop on his music tour is Nashville, TN. Pat catches up with Bill and his life in Nashville, while discussing touring with his bands and the art of writing the perfect song.

On the latest episode of festivalPass Stories, our host, Pat Tully sits down with Chef, author, and entrepreneur, Paul Virant. The restaurant business is tough, and you need the right attitude to just survive, let alone thrive, but Chef Virant has done just that, thrive. Pat goes through Chef's culinary journey from after school kitchen jobs to owning his own restaurant. Chef Virant takes us behind the kitchen door to hear his personal story of passion and inspiration in the food industry and the good, bad, and ugly he has seen along the way. He ‘dishes out' some incredible stories from his days at The Culinary Institute of America and to his early days back working for Chef Wayne Nish in New York City. A native of Chicagoland, he gets his big break and his dream comes true when he is invited to audition for the legendary Chef and Restauranteur, Charlie Trotter. His audition story makes him a restaurant legend. But the big moment comes when he realizes a need for Chicago City style restaurants in the fast growing and affluent suburbs of Chicago, like Hinsdale. Soon he opened Vie and it quickly becomes a hit. He's the talk of the town and is awarded a coveted Michelin Star. From there he opens Vistro Prime and then it's back to the city to open Chicago's first okonomiyaki restaurant, serving both Hiroshima and Osaka styles of the savory Japanese pancake. Gaijin was born. The word means “outsider” in Japanese. Chef Virant embraces this perspective and honors traditional preparations and techniques, as well as his well-known passion for pickling and preserving (true story). Oh, and he is an author as well! And how could we forget his stints on Iron Chef America and Chopped! As a business owner he knows how important it is to give back to the community. So, when he is not running his restaurant empire, you can find him volunteering for schools and charities in the Hinsdale and Chicago area.

Born in Arizona, Julio Santo Domingo instantly became an international star as his family moved to Geneva Switzerland just a month after his birth. An entrepreneur at an early age, he started a new radio show at his high school playing his favorite genre, Reggae. He named it simply “The Reggae Show.” This was just the beginning of a music career that would span the Atlantic and back over the next 3 decades. Building on his fledgling high school DJ career, Julio took his arts talents to the US and attended college at Boston University. Not satisfied with the music scene in Boston, he spent every possible weekend in New York City finding the best underground parties in warehouses and clubs. At the same time, he was expanding his musical interests and amassing a large electronic music collection. He realized he could DJ as well or better than any of the DJ's at the parties he was attending, so he decided to start his own parties and used the dawn of social media to promote them. After college he moved to NYC full time (where he still resides) to start a regular weekly Wednesday Reggae party at the legendary Belmont Lounge and an Electonic dance party called “Sheik and Beik.” He was in high demand and would also host industry nights and one-off warehouse parties including one infamous evening at “Supreme Trading” in Brooklyn. Julio tells the legend of this Halloween party complete with cleaning a floor covered in blood moments before his guests arrived. He was then booked for a DJ gig at Art Basel. At the time he was already thinking of hosting his own underground music tent at Bonnaroo when a friend who worked at that festival, resigned. The two got together and decided to start their own in Florida and the concept for the Okeechobee Music & Arts festival was born. His friend (Paul) found a great property and on Julio's way home from that Art Basel gig, he saw the land, bought it and it was game on. This is the 5th anniversary of Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival.

Welcome back friends to another episode of festivalPass Stories. This week, our host Pat Tully sits down with the dynamic duo of Mellik Gorton, and Meghan Mallan known as The Non Renewed! An Indie rock band out of Denver, the duo met through an app designed for musicians to meet. In 2019 they met up to jam with a group of people and soon realized that they were better together than in a larger band. They began playing covers of music they love and then as trust developed, they began to share music they wrote and started recording their own songs. The name “The Non-Renewed" is a tongue-in-cheek ode to Meghan's teaching contract being “non-renewed. Meghan was a music teacher in the Denver public school system. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise as it opened a door for Meghan to pursue her dream of a music career. Mellik wrote the tune That Much, tracked the vocals; then Meghan took it and ran with the production to create their first single and they were off and running. While the duo continued to explore their older writings and searching for the next single, they launched their social media campaign. Then Meghan reveals a story behind a relationship breakup that led to another great single from the band called Smoke You Out. Pat becomes surprised to learn that both Mellik and Meghan both recently attended their first music festivals. However, the band is eager to get out on the road and get on the festival circuit. Their first big live show is taking place at The Lost Lake Lounge in Denver. Watch and follow as this band continues to grow and come to a festival near you!

Welcome back friends to a new year, and brand new episode of Festival Pass Stories Podcast! Today's guest is the founder of the Gator By The Bay festival in San Diego, the one and only, Peter Miller. People that start live events (festivals in particular), seem to always have a passion that molds their ideas and establishes a niche. For Peter, that passion was dancing, and the enjoyment of being around great music. Peter grew up in the Washington DC area, went to UC San Diego and graduated with a BA in Communications. So, what would make a guy with experience in professional video production want to start a New Orleans inspired festival? As it is told by Peter himself, it all happened one night in Louisiana with a certain man playing an accordion. The feeling he got was indescribable, and from that moment he knew that he had to share it with as many people as possible. At first glance, it may seem a bit “random” to bring the culture of the bayou to sunny California. Gator By The Bay festival delivers such an authenticity, that the event is even supported by the state of Louisiana and its community. It's the largest Louisiana-themed event on the West Coast. It takes place on Mother's Day weekend, and is four days jammed-packed with entertainment for the whole family. The festival is also encouraged by the city of San Diego, and the San Diego Bon Temps Social Club. Gator By The Bay was established in 2001, and plans on making its marvelous return in 2022. So, what goes on at “SoCal's Premiere Cajun, Zydeco, Blues, Live Music & Crawfish Festival? Well…a little bit of everything. Not only are there thousands of pounds of crawfish that comes in from Louisiana, but there are also alligator, gumbo, barbecues that run all day, beignet vendors, and every other delicious treat that New Orleans has to offer. There is also the market area where you can buy all sorts of jewelry, art, and other trinkets that make great gifts. The music that you hear from the moment you walk in is spectacular. Everywhere you go, you'll be sure to hear a different sound that keeps the crowd smiling. And it's all capped off with a big parade, led by Peter Oliver himself. There is no replacing the celebration that is Mardi Gras which happens on March 1st this year, but Gator By The Bay is an experience all it's own that you don't want to miss. Watch this episode to hear Peter's stories, and to get more info on how to get tickets for this May. “I walked into the bar, 1988, the Thursday before Jazz Fest, and I hear this band and the guy had an accordion, and I couldn't believe it, I found it and I didn't even know I was looking for it.” - Peter Oliver Catch the interview on Festival Pass Stories! https://festivalpass.com/stories Resources: Gator By The Bay's Website: https://gatorbythebay.com Gator By The Bay's Twitter: https://twitter.com/GatorByTheBay Gator By The Bay's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gatorbythebay/ Gator By The Bay's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gatorbythebay/ Connect with Festival Pass!

If you've been following this podcast, you are probably familiar with some of our guests that stared live events with out-of-the-box concepts. Jason has successfully composed a festival like we've never seen before. Jason started in the business as a motor couch tour manager for Southern touch Tours. After learning the industry, Jason put his BA in Entrepreneurship from Central Michigan University to good use. He decided that he wanted to give people a joyous experience in his own way. So in 2004, he founded Groove Cruise, and the rest is history. The mission of Groove Cruise is to, “create world-class festival experiences for lovers of dance music as a way to connect and celebrate life on the open ocean. If you love beautiful scenery, great food, like-minded people, and electronic and dance music, you have to get on this ship somehow. It's not just a floating music festival either, but also hosted parties and entertainers all over the ship. Groove Cruise is known as “the love boat” because of engagements and weddings going on. The year 2022 is going to be huge for GC, starting with events in Orlando and Cabo in January. “I use to read evaluations about what people like and don't like about vacations…it has nothing to do with where you go, it's all about who you're with. So, my whole business is based on being around like-minded people.” - Jason Leukemia (Groove Cruise) Catch the interview on Festival Pass Stories! https://festivalpass.com/stories Resources: Groove Cruises's Website: https://www.groovecruise.com Groove Cruises's Twitter: https://twitter.com/GrooveCruise Jason Beukema's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/traveljason/ Jason Beukema's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/traveljason/ Connect with Festival Pass!

Hello Friends! Welcome to another episode of Festival Pass Stories Podcast with host Pat Tully. This week, we are delighted to introduce singer, songwriter, actor, producer, and philanthropist, Dallas Hart! There aren't many people that embody the phrase “multi-talented”, but Dallas certainly does; you might say that he was born to perform under the bright lights. Growing up in Michigan, Dallas knew that that he wanted to be an entertainer. He started to mold his craft as early as six years old when he would do impressions around the house. It's doubtful that you'll find it on his IMDB page, but he recorded a show impersonating the legendary Steve Irwin in his backyard when he was a kid. Dallas always created films for his school projects as well. His story is proof that being a go-getter will allow you to live out your dreams. Just like many other actors before him, Dallas had to build his reel from the ground up. What started with a few short films, became guest appearances on television shows. He worked several jobs while going on auditions, and stayed dedicated to his art. Ultimately, he found representation, and booked his breakout role in the hit TV Series “Rizzoli & Isles” in 2016. Not long after, while he was working as an Uber driver at Coachella, he earned the chance to tryout for a Netflix Original Series, and he got the part. Now, Dallas is a household name from his portrayal of Leo Cruz in four seasons of “Greenhouse Academy”. Acting isn't the only art form that Dallas is passionate about; he's also an amazing singer-songwriter. His band Haert released their EP this year titled “Should I…”, and their new single called “Reflections”. Dallas also has plenty of other film projects coming down the pipeline as a screenwriter and producer, including a thriller titled “AMP House” in post-production. What could be his most ambitious and “hart-ful” venture is the “You & I Project”. Watch this jam-packed episode of FPS to learn how you can get involved and help a great cause! If you haven't seen it already, you have to check out “Greenhouse Academy”, only streaming on Netflix. You can also find Dallas Hart's music on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music. “Everything music wise started building during the pandemic. Now that things are opening back up, I'm looking for opportunities to tour, and just perform at any festivals that I can get my hands on now.” - Dallas Hart Catch the interview on Festival Pass Stories! https://festivalpass.com/stories You can find Dallas at: Dallas Hart's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dallrulz/ Dallas Hart's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/actordallashart/ Dallas Hart's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dallas-hart-1a97403/ Dallas Hart's IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4698235/ Connect with Festival Pass!

Welcome back friends to another great episode of Festival Pass Stories Podcast! This week, we had the pleasure to share some laughs with Syracuse, New York's own, the profoundly funny stand-up comedian, Moody McCarthy! Matthew “Moody” McCarthy grew up wanting to be a musician, but he always enjoyed comedy as well. After attending New York University, Moody grew the desire to take his talents to the stage and entertain audiences by telling jokes. He began his career as a comic, and covered sports at one of Syracuse's top morning radio shows, “Y95FM”. Soon, Moody started to get recognized by his peers for his ability to improv, which led to booking bigger shows. Comedians dream of performing live on late night television. It's one of the best ways to improve a comic's image, and it's also an honor to share the same platform as so many greats from the past. Moody has found himself under the bright lights on many occasions. Throughout his career, Moody has performed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live”, “Conan”, and appeared twice on “The Late Show with David Letterman”. Moody has also done his act on “Star Search”, “Last Comic Standing”, and “America's Got Talent”. Moody gives the credit to his family and upbringing for his comedy success. Growing up as the sixth of seven children in a big Irish family, and being a husband and father is very much a part of his presence on stage. Moody continues to make people laugh and is consistently working his craft at private parties, corporate events, and fundraisers. He's also working on a screenplay that we hope to see made in the future. “Any kind of stimulus in life, just getting married, having kids, buying a house…anything you do is good for your comedy. You want to get knocked out of your comfort zone.” - Moody McCarthy Catch the interview on Festival Pass Stories! https://festivalpass.com/stories Resources: Moody McCarthy's Website: http://www.moodymccarthy.com Moody McCarthy's Twitter: https://twitter.com/moodymccarthy Moody McCarthy's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/comicMoody/ Moody McCarthy's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moodymccarthy/ Connect with Festival Pass!

Welcome back friends to another episode of The festivalPass Stories Podcast! We have something quite bizarre for you this week. Pat Tully takes a deep dive into the history of Fruita, Colorado, and talks with Tom Casal of Mike The Headless Chicken Festival. Before we get into this great event, you need to know the story behind it. In 1945, a man by the name of Lloyd Olsen went out on his farm to prepare chickens for the market. Everything was going routinely except for one rooster who kept pecking around longer than usual; even for a bird without a head. As an experienced farmer, Lloyd found this to be odd, but he still went on about his day. The next morning, Lloyd found Mike, “sleeping with his head under his wing.” Amazed by the animal's determination to live, Olsen found a way to feed him with an eyedropper, but there had to be an explanation for what happened. So, they took Mike to the University of Utah to study the phenomenon. Turns out that Mike's brain stem was still healthy, allowing him to grow and live for another year and a half. During those 18 months, Mike was known as, “The Headless Wonder Chicken.” After hiring a manager, the Olsen's toured nationally with Mike in Los Angeles, Atlantic City, and New York. Mike the miracle grew to be roughly 8 pounds, and was valued to be worth approximately $10,000. The history and fame of Mike The Headless Chicken is still recognized in Time Magazine, Life Magazine, and the Guinness World Records. The city of Fruita, Colorado has their own way of remembering Lloyd's old rooster. They've done it by embracing their history and hosting Mike The Headless Chicken Festival. This two day event has it all; live music, (last year's lineup includes The Samples & The Williams Brothers Band) a pancake breakfast, a 5K run, competitive eating, disk golf, a classic car show, and a bunch more. You can also enjoy a professionally judged Poultry Show and witness these beautiful birds on the big stage. Mike The Headless Chicken Festival is gearing up for 2022, so start planning your trip to Fruita now; the event is fantastic for the entire family. “I was pretty aggressive…Mike the Headless Chicken Festival brings a national name. I went to them saying, ‘ we have people from all over the world coming to the festival; and I can do some really cool things if we can up our sponsorship.'” - Tom Casal (MTHCF) Catch the interview on Festival Pass Stories! https://festivalpass.com/stories You can find Mike on: Mike The Headless Chicken Festival's Website: https://www.miketheheadlesschicken.org/mike Mike The Headless Chicken Festival's Twitter: https://twitter.com/MikeChicken Mike The Headless Chicken Festival's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MikeTHChicken City of Fruita, Colorado's Website: https://www.fruita.org Connect with Festival Pass!

Hello again friends! Welcome back to another episode of Festival Pass Stories Podcast. This week, we have a live event that's too far out to be called a festival. Our host Pat Tully talks hot air balloons with guest Tom Garrity of The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Tom's impressive resume started as an intern at the Dallas Morning News. He quickly moved up the ranks in broadcasting, eventually working as a news director, producer, and reporter. His perseverance landed him a job in New Mexico. After winning Emmy's in News Media, Tom decided to focus on public relations, so he founded The Garrity Group in 1997. Since its inception, Tom's company has, “helped various organizations with strategic planning, issue management, crisis communications, media relations and campaign development/management.” Their clientele list has grown exponentially, but the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is one of Tom's favorites. This live event is a visual masterpiece. Host to over 500 hot air balloons and nearly one million people, the Balloon Fiesta will take your breath away. Let's set the scene: a perfect fall day in the Rio Grande Valley serving as the backdrop to hundreds of balloons of all shapes, sizes, and colors taking to the sky. It has to be one the most majestic sights a person can witness. What also makes it so exciting is the precision of the pilots that man them. The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is the largest of its kind. It's a nine day party, with entertainment of all types. It takes place from October 2nd to October 10th. You can find a breakdown of the schedule, tickets, and donation info on their website. Also, make sure that you download the app to track the balloon's location at any time during the event. They just may be flying over a city near you. “When I got there I was just blown away to see all these balloons launching in waves. It was such a visual feast to see all those balloons back then…taking to the sky and flying in the Albuquerque Box.” - Tom Garrity (AIBF) Catch the interview on Festival Pass Stories! https://festivalpass.com/stories Resources: Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta's Website: https://balloonfiesta.com Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta's Twitter: https://twitter.com/balloonfiesta Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balloonfiesta/ Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/balloonfiesta/ Connect with Festival Pass!

Hello friends! Welcome back to another episode of Festival Pass Stories podcast. This week, we're taking it back to the music scene. If you're a fan of country rock, you'll love this guest. We have singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Mark Mackay. Mark learned how to play music while growing up right outside of San Francisco, California. His parents were insistent on him learning how to play an instrument as a child, so Mark began practicing classical piano at nine years old. He admits that playing piano was not the cool thing to do in the eyes of a nine year old boy, but he's grateful that his parents made him stick with it. After deciding to transition his talents into learning how to play the guitar, and specifically country music; Mark's affinity for the art was flourishing and his career would soon follow. Already giving everything he's got to his craft, Mark's mindset was to move to LA where he attended the College of Contemporary Music, and became a musician full-time. There isn't a special formula to make it in the business; a lot of things have to go right at the same time. Mark made great connections while going to school which aided in his success. What really impressed our host Pat Tully, is that Mark climbed his way up to where he is today. What first started as playing in front of small crowds at local bars, turned into playing for bigger audiences at major music festivals and iconic venues. After releasing two EPs, Mark was named as one of the Top 100 National Live Acts by Music Connection Magazine. Mark's charisma on stage has allowed him to perform covers and original songs at places like The Ryman Auditorium. He also sang the National Anthem at AT&T Park for his hometown San Francisco Giants. Music aficionados would classify Mark's music as a mix of country and rock n' roll. Songs like “Always Rains in Portland” and “ Get Me Through the Night” showcases all of his musical ability and energy as an artist. Live events are what we live for at FPS, and Mark has toured with acts like REO Speedwagon, Luke Bryan, and Keith Urban. We hope that Mark continues his trajectory to become Country Music royalty himself. We really appreciate Mark for coming on to the show, so please show support by listening to his latest EP, “Leaving California” on Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming platforms. Make sure to also connect with him on social media and visit his website for bookings and tour dates. “It's like a golf game. In the music business, you want to get far and everything needs to be firing on all cylinders. Lightning's got to strike when everything is working. It's really hard to do.” - Mark Mackay Catch the interview on Festival Pass Stories! https://festivalpass.com/stories You can find Mark on: Mark Mackay's Website: http://www.markmackayofficial.net Mark Mackay's Twitter: https://twitter.com/m2mackay Mark Mackay's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markmackay/ Mark Mackay's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/markmackayofficial/ Connect with Festival Pass!
