From June 26–28, Mass MoCA in North Adams, MA will transform its grounds for Solid Sound Festival, curated by none other than Wilco and featuring an array of their side projects, one-off performances, living legends and up-and-comers. Both the lineup and experience are incredible, so we thought we’d take the opportunity to give it a proper spotlight. Today over on our website, we are launching “The Road to Solid Sound,” a series of interviews with artists up and down the bill, staggered throughout the month, taking us all the way to festival weekend. But first, Jonathan Patrizio chats with Alex Crothers, founder of revered Burlington, VT venue Higher Ground, and one of the folks responsible for bringing this festival to fruition. Check it out on the site now, and be sure to keep your eyes peeled for more fascinating interviews to come!
