In this episode of the Music Festivals Podcast, I take you on a full recap of Lazy Jam #7, a truly intimate gathering held at Lazy Acre Farms in Hartsville, Indiana.

Get to know the beautifully maintained grounds, the warm sense of community, and all the little things that make this festival standout—from the incredible friendliness of the crowd to the range of family-friendly activities, vendors, food trucks, and even how dog-friendly the event was (shout out to my German Shepherd, Angus).

I also run through the amazing lineup from this year's festival, including memorable performances from Tape Deck, Austin and The Syd Experience, Magnolia Boulevard, Almond Butter Band, Tand, Hot Like Mars and headliners Ekoostik Hookah.


Tune in for my personal highlights from jam sessions around the fire, unique musical moments, and behind-the-scenes contributions that made the weekend special.


You're going to like this episode, I promise. 🫠

Nate Riggs hosts Music Festivals Podcast, a weekly conversation for anyone who feels most at home in a field with a lineup and a schedule. This isn't just about dates and headliners, though. Instead, each episode feels like a backstage pass, built on genuine conversations with the people who make these events happen-from organizers and artists to the dedicated crews. You'll hear stories that never make it to the official recap videos and get practical advice that turns a good trip into an unforgettable one. The aim is to give you a richer understanding of the culture and logistics behind the scenes, whether you're a seasoned veteran mapping out your summer or someone curious about attending your first event. By focusing on these insider interviews and deep dives, the podcast helps you discover hidden gems and approach your next festival with a new perspective. Tune in for a regular dose of that community feeling and the detailed planning talk that fuels the journey between festivals.
