Summer Camp Music Festival’s Camp Counselor Program

Screen Shot 2013-02-21 at 8.29.15 AM

(Chillicothe, IL) This video by my friend Nick Stock was a trip down memory lane. It was the year I sunk my brother-in-law’s RV up to its axles in mud. I also ripped off the entire awning in a 100 MPH windstorm but met one of the most authentic people in the music scene who continues to climb and soar. It was the year I dressed up in an Umphaloo costume for kickball with Ryan Stasik, shot one of my favorite videos of Umphrey’s McGee of all time (Plunger – > Glory – Haji) and fell in love with this place called Summer Camp Music Festival in Chillicothe, Illinois. I witnessed and recorded almost an…

Review: North Coast Music Festival 2012

Rad Photo

Three weeks after the Windy City’s final festival hoorah and we’ve still got North Coast Music Festival on our minds. Check out Erica Treais’s review of the festival and Rad Photos awesome photo gallery below.

Review: Catskill Chill 2012

untitled-6056

Words:Tom Clancey Photos: Sincere Shane Weber & Nick Irving (Hancock) Camp Minglewood, N.Y. – It’s Half-way through Catskill Chill, on a cool, overcast Saturday afternoon at psychedelic summer camp – and the voice of reason is telling you to stay calm. “We’re going to have to shut this thing down,” said a peaceful man, who is “strongly urging” you NOT to go back to your tent. “We’re expecting 60 mile-per-hour winds…” And while that wild weather wreaked havoc throughout the region, it never really materialized here at this sweeping performing arts camp wrapped around a beautiful lake. Instead the sold-out crowd endured a brief one-hour rain storm, and delighted in a weekend’s worth of stellar live…

Quixotic Fusion @ Electric Forest

Part of our coverage of this year’s Electric Forest Festival in Rothbury, Michigan was working with Mike Silberman of A Sustainable Reality: Redefining Roots, a Chicago-based film & production company.  We’re ridiculously excited to share this performance video of Quixotic Fusion, who also performed at this year’s TED conference.   Quixotic is a diverse group of about fifteen Aerialists, Dancers, Musicians, Choreographers, Lighting/Projectionists and Artists who strive to push the boundaries of live performance using interactions between all of their performers while creating a multi-dimensional world that the crowd gets pulled into.
