Pants OFF! Podcast

Andy Cusack has assisted in the booking of musical acts for the 8035 Music Festival since its inception in 2008. Over the last 10 years, he has helped book such bands like Run the Jewels, Wilco, Weezer, Flaming Lips and many others. Andy expounds upon the obstacles when it comes to booking bands for a music festival in a tertiary market like Des Moines in comparison to bigger fests in bigger cities with much bigger budgets. We also talk about growing up in the Chicago area, writing for Juice Magazine, musical projects, and being an early music podcast pioneer in Des Moines.
