St. Vincent at WayHome 2015 [Photo Review]
July 31st, 2015 by Trish CasslingWayHome Day 2 St. Vincent I’d never heard of St. Vincent before the WayHome artist line up was released and I’m ashamed to say I didn’t do a lot of research even though she was playing the main WayHome stage. There were so many things to do to prepare. Shame on me. Let’s say, if hindsight […]
Fire and the Flood: Vance Joy at WayHome 2015
July 30th, 2015 by Trish CasslingFrom the first WayHome artist lineup announcement, Vance Joy was sitting at the top of my list. There was something about him, something sweet and charming, authentic and compelling. Ok, at least I thought there was based on his videos. It never occurred to me that it wouldn’t translate in real life and I wasn’t […]

July 27th, 2015 by Joshua Murray and 📸 Trish Cassling“It’s our job to make sure you have a good fucking time. Are you having a nice time?” It was a nice gesture, and it got a pop from the crowd, but everyone at the WayBold stage on Sunday evening had already made it clear that they were good before Walk the Moon asked the […]
Alright: Kendrick Lamar at WayHome 2015
July 26th, 2015 by Joshua MurrayTo be completely honest with you, I went into Saturday night knowing that I was 100% unprepared for Kendrick Lamar. I was right. The sun was down as somewhere around 30,000 people were stretched from the stage as far back as they needed to be – and when the lights came up on the stage […]

July 25th, 2015 by Joshua MurrayIn the early evening hours of Friday at WayHome, Hozier took over the main stage with his hair tied back, his Irish accent on thick, and his guitars tuned and ready for action.

Rebel Content: Neil Young at WayHome 2015
July 25th, 2015 by Joshua MurrayOn Friday night, on the WayHome main stage, the main event showed up! Neil Young put on an incredible 3 hour set in front (my guess) 20,000+ fans – and he was ever single bit the legend that we believe him to be. It’s still serious business when Neil Young is in song, pushing out […]
