We hope to see you there!

For more information, keep on reading ~ . . .

The 2015 installment of theARISE Music Festival is set to kick off on August 7-9 at the scenic Sunrise Ranch in Loveland, CO.

The three-day camping event will feature headlining performances with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, The Polish Ambassador, Emanicpator Ensemble, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, Ozomatli, Trevor Hall, Rising Appalachia alongside over 100 live performances across 6 stages.

The ARISE Music Festival first came to life at the picturesque Sunrise Ranch just west of the town of Loveland, CO in the summer of 2013 — bringing forth a full-bodied, innovative festival experience with a tangible uplifting vibe.  While the two main stages and the electronic zone will always be the ARISE Festival’s primary attractions, the 3-day gathering is also filled with yoga classes, health-oriented workshops, celebrity and environmentally active presenters, along with a children’s village and parades each day.

Much more than just a concert experience, ARISE offers an array of interactivedaytime activities, camping opportunities and a vending village that showcases a bohemian-style specialty coffee shop with a full espresso bar, unique craft vendors, delicious organic and natural food vendors and trucks, and unique goods from around the world.

At every twist and turn, ARISE offers a visual feast for the eyes and an experience for the senses. As roving puppeteers, stilt walkers, large-scale art installations and live painters dot the valley, it is clear that the annual ARISE Festival devotes as much energy into showcasing varied art forms as it does it’s main attraction…live music. Arise Alive Studios

Taking a peek under the proverbial hood of the festival one might find that ARISE Festival’s mechanics are grounded in conscious environmental ethics. Located on an organic farm with over 100 acres of festival grounds, ARISE puts a considerable amount of effort into greening up the “leave no trace” event by implementing high standards of sustainability practices and environmental stewardship. Local event service provider ZERO HERO empowers attendees with the knowledge and systems needed to easily recycle and compost and divert waste. The event also prides itself in providing FREE drinking water to festival attendees, choosing not to allow the sale of water in plastic bottles, and encouraging festival-goers to bring their refillable water bottles. ARISE has also aligned with Fort Collins-based non-profit Trees Water & People to plant a tree for every ticket sold.

For music fans interested in sustainable gardening techniques, The Polish Ambassador will host a Permaculture Action Day at Sunrise Ranch on Thursday, August 6th. The Action Day includes earth-based, hands-on projects and educational techniques in the study of permaculture design. For those who want to dive deeper, The Polish Ambassador also be hosting an Intensive Permaculture Course in the 3 days leading up to the festival at Sunrise Ranch. The course is a comprehensive program that will take students through the permaculture design process; touching on soils, water, forest gardening, appropriate technology, and several other aspects of whole systems design. With a focus on catalyzing social transformation, intensive attendees will learn techniques for regenerating ecology, as well as explore community building through action-oriented organizing. The Intensive Permaculture Course will only be available to 30 preregistered guests and will be an additional cost for participants. (Details for the Action Day can be found here).

Perhaps one of things that makes ARISE stand out from most of the other festivals in Colorado’s vibrant music scene is a commitment to book distinct artists covering diverse musical genres that brings a richly well-rounded approach to live entertainment.  Day and night, festival goers can enjoy over 100 live bands at any of the six stages or just take in the pristine views from one of the onsite bars or beer gardens.

2015 highlights include daily playshop sessions with featured artists along with a rousing discussion on engagement in social issues with Alex Ebert (Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros) and Josh Fox (award winning writer/director of HBO’s Gasland documentary films).

The festival will run from August 7-9 at Sunrise Ranch in Loveland CO, just over an hour from Denver, 45 minutes from Boulder and less that 25 minutes from Fort Collins, in the Colorado Foothills. A full range of upgrade options including VIP passes, Early Camping, Car Camping and Day Passes are available on the event website.

It is also worth noting that ARISE Music Festival is a family friendly event, with free tickets for children 12 and under and half priced Youth Tickets for 13-17 year olds.For the full music line-up and schedule, and to purchase tickets check out www.AriseFestival.com.

Arise 2014

August 24, 2014 By FreioMusic Leave a Comment

The 2nd Annual Arise Music Festival:

By the time the gates were finally open, the energy began to pick up.  With the people came art, laughter, color and flavor.  As the camping area began to fill up it was clear that this year was much larger than last.  The same beautiful location shared by thousands of new attendees.  With ‘dualing stages’, two stages set up right next to each other intended to minimize musical downtime, the music continued and the crowd stayed close.  The electronic stage, Souls Rising, had a stacked lineup of talented young and established acts.  The energy by Souls Rising stage kept a steady group of dancing bass faces content.  While the Souls Rising stage was considerably smaller than the other two main musical stages, it was the destination for many festival goers and it delivered.  The stage and surrounding area was decorated ornately from the lasers beaming around the ground to the CDs hanging reflectively from the trees.

This year’s attendance appeared to be at least double, possibly triple, the previous year’s attendance.  The festival was prepared and there was ample water, food, and portable toilets.   The vender village was one of a kind with an array of smells coming from the food stands, and an array of colors coming from the vender stands.  Artists are now migrating to Arise festival from all over the USA, contributing to its colorful diversity.  Arise is Colorado’s best and most diverse music festival.

Once again SunRise Ranch played the role of the gracious host and one can only hope that they received the support and recognition they deserve for sharing the incredible valley to all of us who attend.  With out the support of SunRise Ranch this event would not be possible in its current form.  The artists also deserve a huge shoutout for making the experience what it was, and sharing ideas, thoughts, and emotions through their sound and visions. Equally the fan, the festival goer, the music lover, the ‘escape the 9-5 artist’, anyone who attended a festival, deserves a huge thank you.  With out listeners how could music work?  It is you who make this possible and for that all of us here at FreioMusic, Thank You!

Arise Festival 2014
Dates: August 8th, 9th, and 10th
Location: Sunrise Ranch – Loveland, Colorado
Tickets: Buy Here

The Arise Festival in Loveland, Colorado resides on the beautiful 1,000 acre SunRise Ranch nestled in an open canyon. The 2nd Annual ARISE Music Festival will kick off this August 8-10 and will showcase a stellar lineup including Beats Antique, Galactic with special guests Chali2Na and Lyrics Born, Grateful Grass featuring Keller Williams, Billy Nershi (String Cheese Incident) and Reed Mathis, The Infamous Stringdusters, The Polish Ambassador, Groundation, Tribal Seeds, Nahko and Medicine for the People, The Everyone Orchestra featuring Steve Kimock and the return of Quixotic, among many other favorite performers.

The diverse musical lineup draws a diverse crowd and all are well catered to. This is an event for all ages. From the young to the old, Arise festival is for you. A truly spiritual and holy place for some, with yoga and workshops. For others the draw is the late night music that rages through the campground at night. The family camping, designed to enable sleep and a playful place for those little ones, is a plus for families. In fact, kids 12 and under get in free! Everyone has their place to be, have fun, and escape the daily grind of city and work life.

For those of you familiar with festivals, the camping can make or break the festival experience. Luckily Arise is located in a mystical valley in lovely Loveland, Colorado. With spectacular performers such as Quixotic, the traditional artistic limits are broken. Influential and environmentally conscious musical acts help preserve the landscape and the pristine SunriseRanch for future generations. For those 21+ micro-breweries will be in attendance and will certainly refresh a parched palate.

SnowBallin’ 2014

March 21, 2014 By FreioMusic Leave a Comment

Interested in hearing about what is becoming one of the freshest and most unique festivals in the music industry taking place in the spring snow out in beautiful Colorado?

SnowBall, taking place April 4th-6th in Denver, CO, is definitely a music festival that is truly something different. The festival is being held at an exciting new venue this year, Sports Authority Field in Mile High Stadium. The new venue will provide a wide open space for attendees to interact, explore, dance, and of course, get weird. The SnowBall Stage, which is the main stage, will be outdoors and may provide the opportunity for attendees to put their dance moves on display on a snow covered dance floor. So if you plan on attending, please be safe and be prepared for the cold. The SnowBall Stage will also have a Big Air area beside it where extreme athletes will be performing tricks to tantalize your eyes while your ears are being entertained by bumping beats. Some of the most well known artists will grace the SnowBall stage with their presence. On Friday, be sure to catch the melodies of Jimkata, the funky beats of The Floozies, and then let Knife Party shake you with some heavy bass to close out the first night. On Saturday, the highlights include local 3-piece electronic hydro-funk sensations SunSquabi, funky fresh four piece livetronic group STRFKR, and the one and only Derek Vincent Smith, better known as Pretty Lights, playing his soulful tunes right where his original roots began. Then on Sunday, Chali2Na from Jurassic 5 brings some fresh hip-hop to the stage along with House of Vibe, Busta Rhymes brings an original rap set that you could only get from Busta himself, all before Griz closes out the festival with a funk filled set of jazzy electronic beats that will have you grooving with all of the energy that’s left in the tank.

The other three stages are all in heated tents around the stadium and will each provide their own distinct atmospheres once you are inside. The Groove Tent will feature a variety of music throughout the weekend with the highlights being the grimy electronic beats of Mimosa, the all original tunes of Wave Racer, some funky fresh trap from Lunice, a high energy electro house combined with drumstep set from Kill The Noise, and PLM Party, the not to miss set of the weekend featuring Pretty Lights, Michal Menert, Paul Basic, Supervision, Eliot Lipp, and many more artists from the Pretty Lights Music record label. I personally cannot wait to see what all of these amazing producers co-create up on stage together; the possibilities are endless.

The Ballroom Stage will feature artists who make their craft through either their skills on an instrument or through the sounds of their voice. This stage will provide very different sounds than the others so be sure to make it over there if you are into artists who have their own specific individual sound. Eminence Ensemble will trance you into their one of a kind flow as they rift it on their instruments. Afroman will bring you back in time with his old school style and with jams like “Palmdale”, “When I Got High”, and other 90’s classics. Or be entertained with original electronic acts like Flash/Lights, Trippy Turtle, Twin Shadow, Chrome Sparks, or Rufus Du Sol. No matter who you catch at the Ballroom Stage, you will be sure to be entertained.

The Heat Hut will be where you want to go if you are looking to get down and dirty to some electro house and deep house. This tent will be bumping the beats that will keep your feet moving all weekend long. The highlighting artists whom are playing at the Heat Hut are: Bixel Boys, Option4 and JustinJay on Friday; Graff, J.Phlip, and MK on Saturday; and then Need & Necessity, Maxxi Soundsytem, and Andhim to close out the stage on Sunday. So be sure to groove in the Heat Hut if you’re wanting some non-stop electro house beats.

SnowBall will also feature live ice sculptures by trained artists, free water refill stations, a Vendor Village filled with tons of goodies from artisans, a Merchandise Booth to pick up SnowBall gear, food options from local restaurants to food trucks, drink options from sodas and juices to beers and cocktails, and also late night after parties to keep you going and entertained throughout the weekend. Check out the full lineup breakdown and daily schedules. Get your SnowBall tickets now because prices will go up! Advance 3-day GA and VIP tickets are still available for SnowBall here ; advance single day SnowBall tickets here.

Tantalize your ears with a taste of the music to come this year at SnowBall…

A Walkthrough of Symbiosis Gathering

September 17, 2013 By FreioMusic Leave a Comment

All of the beautiful attendees of Symbiosis Gathering will begin to flow into Woodward Reservoir when the gates open at 10:00am on Thursday. The music starts up at The Cove at 3:15pm in the afternoon with Neptune. Then Hopscotch plays at 4:30pm. After he ends, I plan to take a quick break to camp to eat and prepare for the night. Outersect plays at 8:30pm and is followed by the Dub Kirtan All-Stars featuring Freq Nasty and David Starfire at 7:30pm. Once they are done at 9:00pm, I suggest heading over to the Pantheon to catch one of my favorite female producers, Dakini. Sol Rising plays right after Dakini at 10:15pm. Then, at 12:30am, it is a choice between Hudson Mohawke at The Cove, or RadioHiro at the Pantheon. If you are into the circus like singing and dancing, then catch Auditory Canvas on the Pantheon at 2:00am to end the night.

After a good night’s sleep, be sure to be up in time to either head to the Empire of Love stage at noon for Yoga of Bass with Freq Nasty and Claire Thompson. Right after that, stick around to listen to Austero, who is part of Sun:monx with Opiuo and plays a mean guitar while mixing beats. Kitty-D drops some hard dubstep at 2:30pm and then Mustard Tiger from Australia brings his unique international sounds at 3:45pm. I will catch a bit of that set before heading to The Cove to catch Plantrae sooth me with his beautiful viola and harmonious melodies. Then I will head back over to the Empire of Love to catch DOV laying it down. At 6:00pm, I face a very tough choice in either staying to catch JPOD play some funky musical mash ups or heading back over to the Pantheon to catch Cheb I Sabbah and his tribal beats. I will probably try to do both. I will definitely not miss Vibesquad when he comes on at 7:15pm at The Cove. Sasha Rose will mesmerize at 8:30pm at the Pantheon. Then, at 9:30pm at The Big Island, is the musical genius Gaudi who has been playing all types of genres of music for the last 33 years. Then after a performance by Vau de Vire Society comes the talents of Matt and Ryan from Love and Light. Ant-ten-nae brings his low, heavy bass at midnight at The Cove. Directly after that set, Adam Freeland comes on at 1:15 am at the Empire of Love. Check out his Symbiosis Mix! I’d recommend leaving a little bit early to head over to Birds of Paradise at 1:45am at the Pantheon. If you enjoy house music, definitely be sure to catch Worthy, J. Phlip, and Christian Martin from 2:45am to 6:30am. If you would rather check out other types of music, then I would suggest catch the Secret Guest at The Cove instead. G Jones and Russ Liquid play right after that so no need to go elsewhere. I will have to leave the stage a little early to go catch international sensation Grouch play some glitchy New Zealand beats at 5:30am at the Juke Shack. Then I will try to jump back over to The Cove to catch local bay area artist Mikhal. Then I will head over to see Shadow FX finishing up his set at the Juke Shack before finally passing out as the sun is coming up.

Jupiter starts the day off at 1:30pm at the Empire of Love. Bluetech will bring a relaxed atmosphere to The Cove at 2:15pm. Staunch, the duo from Australia, will bring it hard to the Empire of Love stage at 4:00pm. Try to leave early to jump over to The Big Island to catch Odezsa get real funky on their instruments. At 5:00pm, there is a festival wide moment of silence that will be something unique that I have never experienced before. After that, one of my recently favorite groups, Polica, bring their soft vocals and funky beats to the stage. At 6:15, Pumpkin plays his jams at the Juke Shack while at 6:30pm, Griff plays some beats out at the Empire of Love. At 7:45pm, Lynx brings her instrumental talents and her beat box skills to The Cove. Then it is time to go gear up for STS9 as they get funky jamming out on their instruments at 9:15pm. They play for 2 hours and 45 minutes and it is going to be an absolutely magical and epic set. It is probably the set that I am looking forward to most during the whole festival. Then either listen to new up and coming female producer Cashmere Cat blow you away with her sounds at The Cove or go catch Trevor Moontribe from Desert Dwellers lay down some impressive beats at Empire of Love. Be sure to try and stay up for Kilowatts at 4:30am and Desert Dwellers at 6:45am at the Pantheon. If you can make it past sunrise, definitely wander over to The Cove to catch Random Rab, whoever the Special Guest is, Sun:monx, Dirtwire, and Sidecar Tommy from 7:30am until 1:30pm respectively. At some point, try to recharge by catching a few hours of sleep.

Gaudi in Dub will be a unique experience on Sunday at 4:15pm at The Cove. This is the first time that I have ever heard of this set and I am really into the old school dub music that Gaudi plays. Sphongle plays right after than and it is one of the sets I am extremely excited for at Symbiosis. Chet Faker starts right after at 7:15pm. Leave that set a little early to catch Janover and Re:sunator at 7:45pm at the Living Room. This will be a particularly interesting set as Janover plays his unique instrument while be accompanied by his beautiful wife up on stage. Mount Kimbie brings their electronic sounds to The Big Island at 9:00pm. Then I will head over to catch a wild and entertaining Michal Menert set before a chill, laid back Emancipator set at The Cove from 10:30pm until 1:00am. I may try to catch the US debut of Iamwhoiamami at The Big Island between those sets if I can swing it. Then head over to the Pantheon for a whole slate of back-to-back good artists. Ott will bring a not to miss performance followed by Bird of Prey at 3:30am. One of my personal favorites, Kalya Scintilla, plays his whompy tribal music at 5:00am. Kaminanda, Thriftworks, and The Human Experience hold down the stage from 6:30am until 10:30am. Then David Block from The Human Experience teams up with Rising Appalachia to bring a never before seen performance to Symbiosis. There are a ton of To Be Announced artists on the schedule throughout the rest of the day as well as a Special Guest playing at 1:15pm at the Panthoen. By the time the music stops, my legs should be feeling like jelly and my soul should be fully rejuvenated. There is so much good music at Symbiosis that it’ll be hard to see it all. But I will definitely try to!

I hope that you have enjoyed my personal walkthrough for my plan out at Symbiosis Gathering. Please know that there is a ton more than what I have here going on at Woodward Reservoir. Check out the schedule for yourself! I hope to see all of you beautiful people out in the symbiotic community of love, learning, music, dance, and wisdom that is Symbiosis.

Here is a beautiful video previewing what it is going to be like at Symbiosis this year:

Sonic Bloom Artist Interviews

I was lucky enough to be able to attend the beautiful and amazing festival that was Sonic Bloom this year. The whole event was a success even with a few hiccups along the way. Before I attended the event, I got to make a couple phone interviews with artists Govinda, Gaudi, David Starfire, and Michael Garfield.

 

Govinda specializes in electronic music incorporated with live viola:

Looking Forward to My First Photosynthesis

July 13, 2013 By FreioMusic Leave a Comment

I have never been to a Photosynthesis Festival before but I have heard nothing but good things about the festival. So as soon as Michael Manahan, the producer of Photosynthesis, offered me the opportunity to work press for FreioMusic, I jumped right on the chance to attend this unique Pacific Northwest festival. Looking forward to capturing the Photosynthesis experience.

The venue for Photosynthesis Festival is on the most northern beach on the west coast in the US. It takes place on a Makah Indian Reservation at Hobuck Beach Resort in Neah Bay, Washington. This venue sounds amazing and I’m stoked to be able to explore the beautiful scenery by the Washington coast and to be able to get down on the dance floor at Photosynthesis.

The lineup for this festival is absolutely epic. They have Kalya Scintilla, Russ Liquid, Bim Tim, Plantrae, Gaudi, Kaminanda, Aligning Minds, Drumspyder, Justin Martin, Luke Mandala, Splatinum, and tons of other talented artists to entertain you and keep you grooving all weekend long. There are three stages: Mandala Dome Stage, Dream Dome Stage, and Beach Stage.

Here is a FreioMusic playlist that I made previewing most of the artists playing at Photosynthesis Festival this year:

Sonic Bloom is a festival created to help us realize our individual and group potential. It inspires us all to be aware that we all work together to co-create this reality. It is about realizing your full potential and striving to create whatever reality you choose to direct your intentions. I feel like the intentions of Sonic Bloom’s creators are to bring beautiful people together in a wonderful place filled with inspiring music. I feel they will easily succeed in this goal, especially because the festival is stacked with over 100 talented artists each expressing their own vibrations of life through music. I was blessed enough to be able to attend Sonic Bloom last year. It was my first time ever in Colorado and I fell in love with the area and the amazing people that attended the festival. I traveled for over 22 hours by car last year and never regretted a second. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a festival that is worth the trip and definitely should not be missed.
