As the sun began to cast long shadows on Day One of the Bunbury Music Festival, attendees flocked to the Sawyer Point stage to catch one of the heaviest bands in the lineup, Stone Temple Pilots (STP). They came on strong, opening with Wicked Garden, and they never let up. Frontman Jeff Gutt, along with guitarist Dean DeLeo, bassist Robert DeLeo, and drummer Eric Kretz, put on a great performance – they were well-rehearsed, relaxed, and having fun onstage. These guys definitel

The band Blue October has been a favorite of mine since the late 90’s. I saw them in concert once before, so I already knew they would put on an amazing show. When I saw their name on the Bunbury Festival lineup, I admit to being really excited about having another chance to see them live. Their story of making it to the top, falling down, and getting back up again is extremely inspiring to me. They are not quite to the level they were before, but they are almost there. A lot

Just before Greta Van Fleet took the stage every light in the place went dark. Although I am still not sure if that was planned by the band or just a random coincidence at the park. Either way it was pretty badass and totally what a rock band would do. About 60 seconds after the total darkness the stage lit up and this powerful sound came across the Bunbury Festival grounds. I had just started to walk to the back to get a photo of the depth of the crowd when the music started

For many, the first time they heard the name “Run the Jewels” was it’s mention in Killer Mike’s Netflix show, Trigger Warning with Killer Mike. RTJ, however, has been making waves since 2013, when legendary producer EI-P teamed up with Killer Mike to create a powerhouse hip-hop duo. While this isn’t the first time the two have worked together, Run The Jewels has become a smash-hit, boasting several awards and nominations for their work over the last six years and a line of cr

Drawing a surprisingly large crowd for their late-afternoon set time, Utah-based The Aces brought fabulous feminine energy to the main stage at Bunbury on Sunday. Bunbury was the first festival the pop four-piece played this year, but certainly not the last, as they’re slated to hop around to Mamby on the Beach, Austin City Limits, Life Is Beautiful, and more. The ladies of The Aces spent most of last Spring touring the U.S to promote their debut studio album, When my Heart F

As soon as Flora Cash took the stage the crowd was screaming in excitement. The first song had some slight technical difficulties with sound being a little too low. A few fans were screaming “turn up your mics!” after the song ended. Everything sounded perfect for the rest of the show. The beautiful chemistry between the two singers Shpresa Lleshaj and Cole Randall is very visible in their music and how they are on stage. They even shared a very loving kiss after their 3rd so

I sat down with Trauma Illinois via a phone interview after the festival. Things just did not line up for us to meet in person the day of their show. I had read their entire story before the Bunbury Festival and I was super excited to have a chance to speak with these three very talented individuals and learn more about them. I could tell from the moment the phone connected they were a fun bunch. They all laughed and spoke in turn. I had them all say who they were to get a fe

I met up with Aziza Love near the back gate of the media area. She was talking with several people just before I walked over. Our photographer Laura had been speaking with her and asked if we could maybe get a quick interview. Aziza was so polite and sweet about out last-minute interview. Her friend had just asked her to hand over her pass to the concert venue, to which she did not want to give it up unless she would get it back. She wanted to keep it as a memory, and who cou

There were a lot of people sitting all around in front of the stage when I got there. A few staff members were also among the crowd next to me waiting to see him just like everyone else. I saw him peek his head out from the tent next to the stage. You could not miss his bright and colorful shirt. A couple sitting behind me said, “there he is!” It was clear he had a bit of a local following there at the festival. Parker Louis took the stage a little after 5:30 pm on Sunday n

Taylor Janzen had just finished up smiling for the camera when I walked over to sit down with her for a quick interview. The sun was finally starting to come out from behind the clouds and it was shining brightly overhead. Our photographer Laura Fox noticed that the tree next to us would make for some good shade during the interview to keep us cool and that it would also be a much nicer background for the photos she was wanting to take of Taylor. We moved under the tree and b

This particular band stood out to me because their sound was unlike like anything else at the Festival. Of course all bands have their own feel and sound, but The Clarks were a bit country compared to the alt-rock bands that were taking the stage in the days prior. I am not usually a big fan of country, but their mix of an alt-country rock really got my attention. I am now a big fan of their particular sound. The lead singer Scott Blasey had a wonderful stage presence as he b
