It’s that sweet spot in Central Texas: post SXSW and pre sweltering summer, where the weekends becken for adventure, live music resounds far and wide, and that tent in your closet begs to be used. If you’re looking for that Austin-but-not-actually-The intimate music, camping, and art festival debuts this weekend on a 300-acre ranch outside the microscopic town of Lexington, TX – 50 miles east of the capital.
I don't think it would have been possible without the time that he and I individually have put into the music space in Austin. There's a team of seven of us, with Mo and I being kind of the leaders of our crew, and really just putting together as many resources as we can get our hands on to make this happen and come to life.Fake fur, real vibe: Momin Ahmad of MoFest.
Whatever we form past MoFest, we want what we do to be the highest quality and that we set a precedent for what you should be compensating local artists because it is what they deserve and what they need to continue to make the city interesting, cool, and worth living in. I think a lot of people, a lot of events, and a lot of production groups don't pay artists what they deserve. We're not making money on this. I don't care about that.
I'm looking far....as far from Austin as possible!
