JAZZ & HERRITAGE FESTIVAL
After a killer Friday night in Atlanta at the 420 Fest, we hit the road for NOLA. The ride was perfect weather, and we cranked some tunes that fit right in with the weekend. Keep an eye out for a Mixtape post so you can explore our playlist, too! We went straight to our Airbnb, eager to check out the digs and soak up the city. Our sweet hostess Kelly and her husband Brian made us feel so welcomed. I’m never going back to hotel rooms again, Airbnb is fabulous. If you’re ever traveling to New Orleans I highly highly recommend staying at this place. Cozy, comfy, perfection. We hit the jackpot for sure!

MOON OVER BOURBON STREET
THE BIG EASY MINDSET
We took an Uber down to the fest and spent the afternoon laying on blankets, surrounded by sweet happy festival goers and listening to some artists I hadn’t heard before. One that stuck out was Royal Teeth, I’ll definitely be listening to more of their stuff! Jazz Fest is a humungous festival spread out over two weekends, and I wish I could have seen more of it.

BASSHEAD LOVE
It was over too soon, but I was so grateful to have experienced it. Brittany and I met up with two girls from Atlanta that I saw posting about going to Jazz Fest for the Chili Peppers in a Bassnectar fan group. I was so stoked there were other people out there with this fanbase crossover love, so of course I had to meet em! The four of us had a blast together, and I was so happy to have some other chicks who can headbang with the best of em. Seriously, Nectar shows have influenced my dance moves to the point of no return (I think I intimidated some fans to be honest). Even though the sound quality at Jazz Fest was super weak compared to most shows I’ve been to, I have to admit that I headbanged harder for the Chili Peppers than I ever have for Nectar (and I have the strained neck to prove it).
