Tonight starts the music, but before we get into that, at […]

Just a quick reminder to listen in to Y Control on student radio WSUM tomorrow afternoon from 2-4pm for a festival preview, featuring at least one artist in studio as well as us organizers spinning some of our favorite tracks from the artists playing this weekend.
