First Ever GroundUp Music Festival

Tired of saying "I don't support live music enough"? Looking to escape the winter tundra and see some of your favorite artists perform in one place? (and all at an affordable cost) Well then, the first ever GroundUp Music Festival is perfect for you!

The festival takes place in Miami Beach, Florida on Friday, February 10th and lasts the whole weekend. The festival takes up a few different areas including a beautiful beachfront, the Palm Grove Park and the Concert Bandshell will act as an amphitheater for the musicians. All the makings for a great relaxing weekend! Their website has some general help with lodging and travel, including a discount at a local hotel. Here's the link: http://festival.groundupmusic.net

So for those of you that don't know, GroundUp is a music label founded in 2007 by Michael League, bandleader of the group Snarky Puppy, Since then, the label has been working with some of the best artists of our times. Including Snarky Puppy, their roster contains David Crosby, Funky Knuckles, Charlie Hunter, Banda Magda and many more. Check out their main website.

Now stacked with all this talent, GroundUp is providing a way that you can see all the GroundUp artists and more all in one weekend. On top of their artists, Jacob Collier, John Tedeski, Chris Thile Terrance Blanchard, and Esperanza Spalding round out this crazy GroundUp music explosion! The best part, only one performance at a time, which means you don't have to miss anything. You do have the option to re-enter so don't worry, you can visit the beach for a long as you want! Here is a short video about the festival made by GroundUp Music!

Tickets are starting at just $85 a day and $225 for all three days. They have also just announced that their will be an after party show from 11pm until 4am each night at the Deauville Hotel. Those are $10 per night with tickets and $30 general admission.

GroundUp has put together a phenomenal opportunity for everyone involved! Lots of our favorite festivals have become overpriced and appeal to more billboard 100 music, and lost their true essence and GroundUp is helping us get back to our roots. With selling less than 1500 tickets a day, GroundUp Music Festival is a more intimate environment. Come enjoy a relaxing getaway and the performance of the year, both at the same time.

For more info, check out the links to their websites (designed by a good friend of mine, Austin Billings! :)

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
