The warm weather is here for good and another Starscape has passed. This combination has left me really thinking about only one thing in the next few weeks……CAMP BISCO! This festival has become the highlight of my summer for the past several years. From the picturesque drive past the lake in New York leading into Indian Lookout Country Club to the brilliant lights shining from the stage, every single ounce of this festival gets me excited. You’ve seen Pretty Lights, Orchard Lounge, Future Rock, Two Fresh, Emancipator, and Big Gigantic at Fortune5Fifty shows. Now I hope that after hearing us talk about this festival for the past several years you all will come join us July 15-17 in Mariaville, NY. Stay tuned to Fortune5Fifty for more details in the coming weeks.
