In Episode 28 of the Music Festivals Podcast, I have Turner More, Festival Promoter for the Sunshine Music Festivals and owner of Obsessions, back for a preview of the upcoming Sunshine Get Down music festival that is set to take place April 10th-12th 2025 at the Florida Sand Music Ranch in Brooksville, FL.

Turner gives us the complete low down on this early Spring fest in Florida that is shaping up to be a banger, with headliners Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Andy Fracso and the U.N. and Big Something plus many more regional and local bands. There is also a surprise guest appearance from his cat.


Plus, hear a short recap and see video footage from it's first sister festival, the Sunshine Hootenanny Music & Arts Festival that happened last October and featured killer nationally touring jam bands like moe., Dogs in a Pile and Karina Rykeman as headliners.

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.
