In this landmark episode of The Emo Hour, Katie and Nani kick things off with a major headline that’s shaking the music world — Taylor Swift officially owns all the rights to her music. The duo dives into what this means not just for Swifties, but for artists everywhere, unpacking the ripple effects this could have on the music industry for years to come.
Then, they’re joined by James Fowler, the passionate founder of the Sawtooth Valley Gathering, held in the breathtaking mountain town of Stanley, Idaho. A Boise local with deep roots in the Wood River Valley, James shares the ten-year journey of building this beloved festival from the ground up. From the meticulous planning behind every part of the event to unforgettable performances paid with incredible sunsets, he paints a vivid picture of what makes the Gathering more than just an event — it's a community.
Katie and Nani dig into James's passion for music and origin of the Gathering, the incredible artists who have graced the stages over the years, and the festival’s deep commitment to giving back to the Stanley community. If you’ve ever wanted a peek into the heart of a grassroots music festival, this is your episode.
This one’s got music, meaning, and mountains — and trust us, you’ll want to grab your tickets before they’re gone.
