On the eve of Thanksgiving, Living The Fest Life had the opportunity to get our first taste of live music in months. I drove to down to Virginia Beach for Kendall Street Company’s fifth annual version of their Thanksgiving extravaganza – The Turkey Jam. This year, the band added a second performance, hitting the stage... Continue Reading →
Let's face it - being stuck inside for most of the summer without live music has been rough. Some of the monotony has been broken up by well-organized and awesome digital festivals. While we would give just about anything to be back out in the sun with a camera in one hand and a drink... Continue Reading →

KAABOO Del Mar has been at the top of my own personal festival bucket list for quite some time. Our experience at the new KAABOO Texas (in Dallas) earlier this year was an absolute blast. That experience just made our Del Mar desires even stronger. As we discussed at length in our KAABOO Texas coverage, the... Continue Reading →
When I packed for the weekend in Chicago, it was pretty easy. No glitter, no fun rave outfits, no hula hoops...all I needed were my favorite punk rock t-shirts and my Doc Martins.
