has been set up for the festival, local bands have offered to play for free, and companies and sponsors have made huge donations to offset some of the event costs in a show of support that is not lost on festival organizers.“We started [Wednesday] in tears,” said Adrian Urlacher, festival founder and director. “And it’s gone to absolutely, overwhelming gratitude.”
Urlacher said the support from the community has exceeded expectations and shows him how important the festival is to the local music scene. “If we don’t have that support, we don’t have that community, so the word ‘community’ absolutely makes sense here,” Urlacher said.
