Governors Ball

I had an amazing time playing all three days of Governors Ball this weekend with Brass Queens. If you aren’t familiar, Gov Ball is an annual advertising music festival held in NYC that usually attracts late-teens and twenty somethings. Thankfully, I didn’t feel as old as I prepared myself to feel, and even though I’m not 20, I have 20 years of festival-going experience under my belt, so let’s just say I’m quite the professional!

We had a blast playing and getting the crowd pumped up. The weather was perfect and it was nice to be at Citi Field and not have to worry about the Mets blowing it in the 9th! I got to catch a bunch of artists that I otherwise would never see. Highlights for me were Megan Thee Stallion, Portugal. The Man (one of very few straight-ahead bands at the fest), and Burna Boy. The definitive musical highlight was, BY FAR, Carly Rae Jepson playing “Call Me Maybe.” Damn, that song is pretty incredible and the crowd was going nuts!

Keep an eye out on the Brass Queen’s Instagram as I’m sure we will be sharing clips from the weekend. I hope we are invited back next year!
