“For any local art community, collaboration and support is the most important. Because then everybody is learning from each other and getting inspired, it makes for better art,” said Drew Rogers, guitarist of VERA.
“I like local scenes like this. It’s not a competitive atmosphere, because when there is art flowing between artists and inspiration, that is when we see really special things happening,” said Woods. vocalist and guitarist of Panthermilk.
All the bands on Saturday had a large audience and the whole event had an atmosphere of a fun, exciting party.
“We try to keep music a celebration,” said Garret Williams, guitarist and vocalist of Strange Familia. “And that was definitely showcased tonight.”
