Behind The Scene Episode 70 - Dawn Fay (Producing Director, Wonderbound)

“I think the big goal was to push the art forward, and that’s still ongoing. That’s never gonna stop. The complexity of it, of our shows, the fact that now we have bands like Chimney Choir or Ian Cooke or Jesse Manley and his band and even working with Tom Hagerman who wrote a new composition for the symphony. So that’s the big thing for us, is that constantly pushing that envelope of new and constantly pushing the artists that we work with to keep notching up as we keep notching up is beyond.”

— Dawn Fay

“So it’s felt really just kind of refreshing in a way to start a new project that has nothing to do with it (The Lumineers). Again, I’m so lucky to be part of this monstrous thing that happened and I love performing and I love being on stage and that type of thing but I had to find an outlet too to be creative...I ended up writing pretty much a whole record in a few months.”

Behind The Scene Episode 66 - Michelle, Harmony, Blair - The Milk Blossoms (Indie Folk Trip-Hop)

“I’m incredibly grateful for this relationship that we have with the three of us. I think I’ve sorta of dipped into bands that function purely on like a leadership level, you know, on one person is the center and that person can make decisions, as they should, can make decisions and get subs and you know not every person is essential. The part is essential but the person is not and so I think being able to have something like this where we can never really, we can never not have one person in this band to be able to perform, you know, we can’t sub anybody, you know, and that’s a gift. A gift that we’ve had to work for and work at.”
