MUSIC IS OUR HERO!
The MUSIC IS OUR HERO! Podcast is a creative hub where stories, artistry, and community collide. Each episode dives into conversations that inspire, empower, and spark new ideas—because art isn’t just what we make, it’s the community we build together.
Created and hosted by producer, engineer, DJ, and lifelong music advocate Drea Young, the podcast is dedicated to the indie community, as well as the people who bring it to life. With decades of industry experience—from graphic design to engineering in NYC to the live-event world—Drea brings an open-format approach, deep technical insight, and a genuine passion for supporting the people who keep indie arts and music alive. Her mission is to uplift, explore, and amplify community—one episode at a time.

Grateful Daytrippers Family Reunion: One More for the Road
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In celebration of the upcoming Grateful Daytrippers Family Reunion Festival, we sat down with founders Ricky and Lydia to talk about where it all began, what the Reunion has grown into, and the incredible community that has kept it going through the years.
There were plenty of laughs, a few tears, and a whole lot of memories as we looked back on the people, music, moments, and magic that have made the Family Reunion so much more than just another festival.
And this year hits a little differently. Ricky and Lydia are taking a break from hosting the Family Reunion for a while, which means this is one you really don’t want to miss. If you’ve never experienced a Reunion, this is your year to finally make it happen. And if you’ve been part of the family before, you already know what’s up.
Let’s send this chapter off with one hell of a bang-out.
