Diomer and Craig performed together at the festival on Friday, June 21st into Saturday, June 22nd, 2024.  The episode begins by sharing much of the backstory of how Agapefest was launched in the wake of the closure of CreationFest a couple of years ago.  Maria shares about how the team was able to fill the festival’s lineup with different artists from around the tri-state. Maria also tells the story of how she connected to Diomer specifically to invite him to perform at the 2024 festival.  This episode continues with Diomer sharing about his desire to involve more friends in his set and ultimately how that included inviting Craig Watson to come perform as well.  Throughout the conversation, Diomer and Craig share specific details about people they met before and after performing. The performance conversation centers mostly on the Friday night set. At the very end of the episode, the whole cast talks about the future of AgapeFest and the hopes/dreams for what’s ahead in partnership with Ripe Creatives.  To receive text notifications for each release of this podcast text "Time is Ripe" to: 215-273-3540 and click the link to save your contact.  To Support Ripe Creatives and all that we do, including this podcast, visit https://www.ripecreatives.com/ Song: "WHO AM I?" by Diomer
