The Pilot Episode

from Almost Familiar Hosted by Elizabeth Dreeson, Wes Johnson

Get familiar with your co-hosts! Elizabeth Dreeson and Wes Johnson crossed paths for years across the festival scene without actually connecting until they discovered their mutual interest in Pretty Lights at a String Cheese Incident show in Syracuse. When did music festivals become more than just a party for you? When did you “get it?” In the pilot episode of Almost Familiar, Wes and Elizabeth reflect on these questions and more as they discuss how they got into “the scene” and the evolution of their music tastes. They have a feeling their stories might feel almost familiar. They try not to talk about Pretty Lights too much, but sometimes they can’t contain it.
