This year Flip Wright, the owner and music buyer of Offbeat Festival, asked Fresh Bakin' to collaborate with the festival. He wanted to add more diversity into the lineup and cook up a more complex flavor pallet. It took all of about two seconds for us to respond “Hell Yes!”
Why, you might ask? Well, first off, in a nutshell, we know that diversity is the spice of life. Starting from our first show way back in 2002, we never wanted to be pigeonholed as only promoting electronic music / EDM (that acronym didn't even exist back then!). Our roots going waaaayyy back are punk rock, metal and Grateful Dead (with of course Michael Jackson, Culture Club, Duran Duran and many other 80s classics). We attended our first rave in 1991, and continuously grew more and more ravenous of new sounds, new genres, new communities, etc.
As we grew our promotion company, we always made a point to not just book EDM, but other genres and acts that we loved and respected as well. We believe there is quality music and artists in every genre. And more times than we can count, we've had people come to a show we love that they didn't know anything about the artist, but they knew that we loved them so they checked it out. Not sure we've ever had someone walk away disappointed.
Second, over the years I am really into collaboration. Not only at the festivals does collaborate make magic happen, but I wouldn't have been able to survive the last five years of my life without the people around me.
So back to Offbeat…
Watching Offbeat grow and change from afar, we loved the vision and the diversity….the encouragement for people to come together and experience really fantastic music that they may not specifically know, but they do know and trust Offbeat to bring a mixture of well known headliners and high caliber, massively talented performers that are on the rise.
Offbeat has consistently been on the cutting edge of what's next, and we are super excited to be there with them.
