glamglare has been attending SXSW in Austin, TX since 2014, minus the last two years, of course. One could even say our blog was founded at SXSW or shortly thereafter under the influence of the enormous energy level one can ingest during the festival. In 2018 and 2019, we ran[…]
Live music is back, and what better way to celebrate one of life’s most invigorating and joyful past times with not only one but five days filled with concerts? New York’s The New Colossus Festival is back, and its three founders, Lio Kanine, Steven Matrick, and Mike Bell, whipped up[…]
