I recently sat down with the directors of Hopscotch Music Fest to talk about this year’s plans for festival. The conversation touched on everything from background to business, what makes 2015 different and where the small company is heading in the future. Interviewee’s Greg Lowenhagen and Nathan Price provide valuable insight about the lineup, along with some exclusive information about performer locations and other info that has yet to be rolled out formally. Listen to the extensive Interview here.
