WayHome Crowd Feature 2020 memories postJoshua’s Live Music Memories (part 2): WayHome

May 25th, 2020 by Joshua Murray and 📸 Trish Cassling

Everything’s on pause this summer – but WayHome got a head start on the trend back in 2018 and we’ve been hoping that someone will hit play again ever since. Over the course of three summers, we saw some cool art, fun music, and big headliners take the stage at WayHome, and it’s easy to […]

WayHome is Pressing Pause

September 5th, 2017 by Trish Cassling

If you’re like us, you were already thinking about next year’s WayHome Music & Arts Festival. Did we wonder what was up when a “Save The Date” wasn’t displayed at the end of the festival? We did. Today we received a press release that read “Republic Live will push pause on the 2018 edition of […]

Crowded Places: BANKS at WayHome 2017

August 8th, 2017 by Joshua Murray

BANKS came north to Canada from Orange County to put on a show at WayHome 2017. With her dancers joining her, killer black boots, and a voice that sticks with you – she put on the kind of show you tell your friends about. The singer/songwriter was on my list of sets I wanted to see, […]

Soaked in the Sunday sun, Skott hit the WayHome 2017 main stage for her first North American festival AND first Canadian concert appearance.

As we headed into the evening, Andy Shauf and his band took the WayAway stage. Playing songs from his 2016 release The Party and more to an appreciative WayHome crowd, the quiet singer-songwriter commanded the audience.

It’s been a while since we’ve had a new Constantines album, and to be honest we were thrilled that they were included in this year’s WayHome lineup.  And based on the WayHome crowd’s response, we were not alone. Checking out their social media accounts it’s hard to get a feel for what’s going on but […]
