Story Time at the Roo Bus

It might not have been the Bonnaroo we wanted, but 2026 gave us the Bonnaroo we needed.  Both the backstage crew and the community came together to defeat the "final boss" of the rain, mud, and even power outages, and it became one of the most memorable Bonnaroo's ever because of it.  Sharla and Daniel dive into what worked, what didn't, and some of our favorite sets of the weekend.Support the showProceeds from Story Time at the Roo Bus support The TOTEM Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to supporting underserved individuals through music communities.
