So Many Stories to Tell: Ed McGee on 30 Years of Hookahville
Manage episode 474134475 series 3597538
In this episode of the Music Festivals Podcast, I sit down for a evening conversation with one of my favorite singer-songwriters, Ed McGee. We talk a walk down memory lane to explore the rich 30 year history of this iconic music festival and Ed's own personal experiences surrounding Hookahville..
Ed reflects on his first Hookahville performance in 1994, sharing how he became part of the festival's origins and his initial connection with the band, ekoostik hookah. He shares more on his recent shows with One Under, detailing how the band overcame some unexpected challenges to deliver an incredible performance at last year's Lazy Jam 6 Music Festival.
Ed also shares some interesting things about his personal creative process as he discusses writing music for films, including the inspiration behind the 2023 single, "Last Good Knife." We wrap up with stories of Hookahville's past and raise a glass to good friends past.
