Rooster Walk 15 - Pop’s Farm in Axton, Virginia

The 15th Annual Rooster Walk Music Festival was Memorial Day Weekend on Pops Farm in Axton, VA and NC artists and bands made up a big part of the lineup and experience.

One of the stand out acts of the weekend was Florencia & the Feeling. The artist at large played multiples sets across different stages in Friday on the Lawn Stage and then later with the Rooster Walk House Band along side artist like Isaac Hadden, Wallace Mulinax, Josh Schilling and Jeff Sipe. They also went on to play sets at the Eye Level Stage and VIP tents as well!

Mental Health Awareness Month

Life in the music industry can be amazing but it can also be tough. Long hours, high pressure, time away from home… it takes a toll. EZ Vibes is proud to support backline.care and the work they do to support the mental health and wellness of music industry families!

We started a fundraiser to collect money for this amazing organization. Any contribution you can make it greatly appreciated!
