In this episode I talk with Chris Prutting, the owner of the Front Porch Festival about his experience of putting on a music festival for 8 years.

We talk about how the festival got started, why he's been successful, and what kind of management style he uses to create a sense of family and community. Chris offers advice for people wanting to start their own festival and talks about why some of the big festivals have been failing lately.

Chris chose 3 songs by artists playing The Front Porch Fest this year:

"Home" by Zach Deputy 25:50

"Children of the Sun" by The Hip Abduction 8:34

"Nashville Flood" by Big Daddy Love 54:29
