ANSWER: C. Yankee’s “Harvest” scent is a blend of cinnamon and cloves with a hint of apples and pumpkin, while “Autumn in the Park” combines fresh peeled apple and fallen leaves with a dash of pumpkin spice and lemon zest. We hit up Yankee to propose a scent that combines the two called “Sweater Weather.” We’re still waiting to hear back...

11 WAYS TO MAKE IT FEEL

STUDENT LIFE

MORE LIKE FALL IN PHOENIX ALLY RICHMOND • COLLEGE TIMES

PHOTO • SALLY’S BAKING ADDICTION

T

he calendar might say “fall,” but the thermometer still says “summer.” In Arizona, fall is anything but falling leaves and hay rides through apple orchards. Our fall consists mainly of iced Pumpkin Spice Lattes and sweaters drenched in our own sweat, but it’s fine. We’re fine. Fall in the desert doesn’t look like fall on the East Coast, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy it. There are plenty of ways to enjoy autumn without having to rake up those pesky leaves.

#11 • GO TO A PUMPKIN PATCH

Pumpkins are the epitome of fall. There are a few pumpkin patches in the Valley such as Mother Nature’s Farm at 1663 E. Baseline Road in Gilbert and Tolmachoff Farms at 5726 N. 75th Ave. in Glendale. These patches are great places to get a pumpkin and enjoy various fall festivities.

#10 • TAKE SOME FALL PHOTOS

Whether you’re at a pumpkin patch or somewhere else, taking cute fall photos with friends can be lots of fun and help boost your Instagram game. Whether you wear sweaters and scarves or hold mugs, fall is a time to take cliché fall photos with pride.

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | SEPTEMBER 20, 2018

#9 • DO SOME BAKING

Fall is the perfect time to do some baking, and fall recipes are some of the best. If you’re stuck on what to make, check out our chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipe on page 6.

#8 • CARVE A PUMPKIN (OR PAINT ONE)

Like I said, pumpkins define fall. Decorate your front porch with a carved pumpkin, or, if you don’t feel like scooping out the insides of a pumpkin, try painting one instead! It’s a lot less messy, and if you make a mistake, you can always paint over it.

#7 • GO TO A HAUNTED HOUSE

If you’re into the fear factor surrounding Halloween, we suggest you check out some of Arizona’s haunted houses. One of the most popular ones in the Valley is Fear Farm, located at 2209 N. 99th Ave. Fear Farm’s Haunted Hayride is a must for Phoenix thrill-seekers.

#6 • WEAR A SWEATER

It’s that simple. When it’s fall, all you want to do is wear a sweater. So do it. Even

if it’s hot. Even if you’re not sure that it looks good on you. Wear the darn sweater.

It’s fall. Embrace the sweat.

#5 • MAKE APPLE CIDER

Apple cider is the most underrated drink of fall. Head over to Pinterest to find a good homemade recipe, or just pick up a bottle at the store. Hot or iced, apple cider is sure to make things feel like fall.

#4 • GO CAMPING

Get out of the heat and into the woods! I don’t know what it is about camping, but the cool air and the campfires seem to scream “fall.” Get some friends together and head up north for a cool escape.

#3 • LIGHT A FALL SCENTED CANDLE

Honestly, if all else fails, just light a scented candle. Find something with spices or apple and light it up! The candle will definitely make your whole house smell like fall.

#2 • DECORATE FOR THE SEASON Decorate your house, apartment or dorm with fall décor to make it feel a bit more like autumn. Hang a wreath on the door, put a pumpkin outside or hang orange string lights around the living room to make your space a more fall-ish place.

#1 • ENJOY THE COOL MORNINGS

Despite the heat, fall mornings can be downright beautiful. If you get up early enough, you can enjoy the cool weather before things get too hot. Drink your coffee on the patio or take a walk. Soak in the nice weather before it’s all gone! CT

THE BEST EVER CHOCOLATE CHIP PUMPKIN BREAD RECIPE ALLY RICHMOND • COLLEGE TIMES

F

all is here, and one of the best ways to celebrate is through baking. Living in Arizona, it might not look like fall outside, but you can at least make things feel more like fall inside! This season is full of pumpkin this and pumpkin that, a real classic being pumpkin bread, right behind Pumpkin Spice Lattes, of course. Everyone loves pumpkin bread (or at least most people do), and the only thing that can make it better is chocolate. This chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipe isn’t gluten-free or vegan (sorry), but it is delicious. Don’t take our word for it — try this recipe out for yourself and enjoy all the flavors fall has to offer.

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread Ingredients: 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 3/4 teaspoon salt 2 large eggs 3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree (canned or fresh) 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or coconut oil) 1/4 cup orange juice 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips Directions: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Spray a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with non-stick spray and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt together until combined.

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar and brown sugar together until combined.

Whisk the pumpkin, oil and orange juice into the egg and sugar mixture.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a wooden spoon or spatula. It’s OK if there are a few lumps, but don’t overmix.

Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, making sure to loosely cover the bread with aluminum foil halfway through to keep the top from getting too brown.

The bread will be done when you can stick

a toothpick in the middle and it comes out clean. This might happen a bit before or after the 60 to 65 minute mark, so be sure to check a few minutes early.

Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before removing and slicing.

Your finished bread will last about 10 days on the counter or in the fridge, but you can freeze it for up to three months. Just remember to thaw well before serving! CT

Four Peaks Oktoberfest ANNUAL TEMPE FESTIVAL IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO BEAT THE “BREWS BLUES” CARSON MLNARIK • COLLEGE TIMES

I

Thankfully, this year marks the debut of the most ambitious collaboration since bratwurst met bun: Freundschaft, a collaborative brew between Four Peaks and Weltenburger Kloster.

Dating back to 1050 AD, Weltenburger Kloster is the world’s oldest monastic brewery and located in Regensburg, Germany — which happens to be one of Tempe’s sister cities.

Freundschaft, a pale weissbeir, roughly translates to “friendship” and marks the first in what O’Hara says will be a new annual series with a different style and name each year.

Fittingly, it will take a very special ride to Tempe Town Lake: a horse-drawn carriage parade down University to Mill Avenue — a nod to the German tradition of starting off any sort of festival with a horse-drawn carriage beer delivery.

That’s not to say other Four Peaks beers are neglected; favorites like Kilt Lifter, Pumpkin Porter and Hop Knot will be for sale ($5-$7), as well as German varietal beers — can you say Hefeweizen? — and Barefoot Wine.

When visitors are not eating, drinking or being merry, they can take part in a number of traditions such as the Frank Kush 5K and 10K honoring the former ASU football coach, four-versus-four soccer, Dachshund races, beer and wine tasting and carnival rides of increasingly epic proportions.

“Every year we try and bring in some new, bigger carnival ride that just pushes the envelope,” O’Hara laughs.

The festival has also tapped a wide variety of performers, ranging from straight-fromGermany polka acts like Das Aubachtal Sexteett and The GinTonics, to local favorites like Instant Classics, ska group 2 Tone Lizard Kings, rock band The Black Moods and skapunk group Fayuca.

PHOTOS • COURTESY FOUR PEAKS OKTOBERFEST

Four Peaks Oktoberfest has brought thousands of revelers to Tempe Town Lake for nearly five decades.

This year’s celebration will feature more than 30 musical acts over the course of three days.

With three stages throughout the festival, there’s something happening on all three stages from open to close and a little something for everyone.

“That’s what Oktoberfest is all about,” O’Hara says. “It’s a local carnival music festival that’s a great time.”

General admission to the festival is free and VIP options, including lakeside stage cabanas, lakeside experiences and all day carnival passes will be available for sale.

With ASU’s football team on a bye week,

it’s the perfect excuse to make the trek down Mill Avenue for a breath of German festivities — and some cheap beer.

Four Peaks Oktoberfest, Tempe Town Lake, 80 W. Rio Salado Parkway, Tempe, fourpeaksoktoberfest.com, 5 p.m. to midnight, Friday, 10 a.m. to midnight, Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sunday, Friday, October 12, to Sunday, October 14, free. CT

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | SEPTEMBER 20, 2018

n Munich, Germany, Oktoberfest is a 16-18 day festival where six million people gather in September to celebrate and drink more than 66,000 barrels of beer.

While Tempe Town Lake’s Four Peaks Oktoberfest spans only a weekend, from Friday, October 14 to Sunday, October 16, the free festival — in its 46th year — is basically the next best thing.

Having grown from a small Tempe Sister Cities fundraiser into one of Tempe’s biggest events of the year, the event attracted 70,000 people throughout the weekend last year. It’s time to break out the lederhosen!

It’s the attention to detail and the team’s dedication to creating an authentic Oktoberfest experience that has kept people coming back year after year.

“There’s not many things that exist in our modern era of time where everyone from a community gets together and does something really fun,” says Mike O’Hara, an event coproducer. “It just has that natural appeal.”

O’Hara, who’s worked with the festival in some capacity for ten years, is just one of the multi-generational volunteers who come together each year to keep the free event running.

New to the festival this year are activities like a kickball tournament and a Cardinals viewing party, as well as vegetarian and gluten-free food options.

Of course, classic Oktoberfest delicacies will still be in heavy supply alongside the usual fried carnival fare.

Festivalgoers will be able to choose from options like chicken apple sausage, Kilt Lifter brats, Tempe Oktoberfest sauerkraut and what O’Hara considers the crown jewel — German potato salad.

“Nobody else does (it) in the Valley, and everybody loves (it) every year,” he laughs.

While the spread is important, an Oktoberfest is truly only as good as its brews.

SHIFT GEARS & GET WEIRD 19TH ANNUAL TOUR DE FAT BRINGS BIKES, BEER AND SUSTAINABILITY TO TEMPE

L

ERIC NEWMAN • COLLEGE TIMES

ocal bikers and drinkers, many clad in costumes, will hit Tempe Beach Park on October 6 to celebrate the “greatest little show on earth,” or the Tour de Fat, hosted by New Belgium Brewing Company.

Entering its 19th year, the six-city tour aims to celebrate local music, entertainment, alcohol and, most importantly, bicycles with live shows and a variety of activities. Tour de Fat has raised over $5 million for local bicycle nonprofits.

College Times reporter Eric Newman asked New Belgium spokesperson Jesse Claeys about what first-timers should expect, and the best parts about the event.

performers are amazing, and the bicycle ride — where costumes are encouraged — is an absolute blast. The day puts the “fun” back in fundraising.

What, in your opinion, is the best part of Tour de Fat?

What are some of the best reactions you’ve gotten to Tour de Fat?

Oh man, so many great parts. As a company, we’re very proud that each Tour de Fat stop raises money and awareness for our nonprofit partners. In Tempe, this event benefits Tempe Bicycle Action Group, Bike Saviours, Central Arizona Mountain Bike Patrol and Mountain Biking Association of Arizona, all great organizations that do amazing work advancing sustainable transportation and recreation. Since the inception of TDF, New Belgium has been able to donate over $5 million to worthy organizations across the nation. Aside from the great philanthropic side of TDF, the

What about Tempe and Arizona culture make for a good event host?

Tempe knows how to party and has long supported bikes, craft beer and revelry, so the town always turns out to, as we say, shift gears and get weird.

I love talking to people attending their first Tour de Fat. They’re always amazed by the amount of creativity and artistry on display and typically feel a renewed sense of community. Sprinkle on top of that some delicious New Belgium beers, and it’s hard not to have a perma-grin at Tour de Fat.

Do you have a favorite memory from a festival you’ve gone to?

Where else are you going to experience that?

Why is it so important to give back to local bicycle nonprofits?

Fat Tire was born on a bike seat and features a bicycle on the label, so cycling is ingrained into New Belgium’s DNA. We’ve always supported nonprofit organizations working hard to advance sustainable transportation. The reasons to do so are numerous. Opting to ride instead of drive has a positive impact on the environment.

It provides a fun form of exercise. Those are

a couple main ones. Oftentimes, efforts to strengthen the local scene are grassroots and have a challenging time securing funding.

We’ve seen so many times that if we all come together to support these organizations, the work they can do is incredibly impactful.

If I were a girl today pondering possibilities, maybe my dream would be that of becoming a doctor, attorney or corporate CEO. Who knows? I studied secondary education with areas of specialization in social studies and English, and my college degrees are from Indiana University.

The thought of being a teacher never crossed my mind. I had done plenty of guest presentations to college classes, but preparing a lecture filled with advice and stories is very different than preparing an 18-week class designed to teach aspiring communicators how to communicate.

The life-changing mentors I had throughout my academic career and the impact they made on my life solidified my desire to do the same for others. I have a performance background and joke with my students that teaching is a great means for me to get all the attention I selfishly crave until showbiz comes a-callin’.

MAKING MOVES ASU GRAD APPLIES SKILLS TO FAST-GROWING MOVING COMPANY

HAYDEN WEBER • COLLEGE TIMES

W

hen Justin Hodge graduated from ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism in 2006, he had no idea he would be using the skills he learned there to lead the fastest-growing moving company in Arizona.

Two years after graduating, Hodge teamed up with his longtime friend Jared Jurhill and started moving families across town with just their muscles and a pickup trailer.

Fast-forward a decade later and the guys turned their startup into Muscular Moving Men, a company that now employs nearly 100 people and moves nearly 400 families every year.

“Back in 2008, it was a combination

of things. Financially, we needed to start making money for his life, my life. I was starting a family, Josh was looking to free himself from his fulltime business of the insurance world,” Hodge says. “We just started moving people after-hours off of Craigslist and different types of services.

We thought, ‘Wow, we could literally make hundreds of dollars doing this.”’

Even though Hodge is not a journalist, he says the skills he learned at the Cronkite School helped him throughout his whole career at Muscular Moving Men. “You know, it’s funny, when you start a moving company with your best friend and you’re like, ‘Why did I get a degree from the

journalism, public relations and broadcasting school? What was I thinking?’ and you know, as time goes on, you start to realize that you do have to use those skills on a daily basis,” Hodge says.

“With public relations, we get to go out there and let everybody know about our business. We get the chance to sit down and do articles and be on TV. For awhile, I was responsible for all the content that went up on our websites. I would be writing who we are, what we do, why we’re different, and I’d be doing the marketing material that you have to put together to take out to the storages and apartments and all these places that refer you.”

Hodge seems to have efficiently put these skills in place, as Muscular Moving Men continues to grow year after year at a rate of 30 to 40 percent. The company says that in the next seven years, they plan to expand up to 60 locations nationwide and put their name out in most major cities.

Through it all, Hodge gives thanks to his education.

“I’m grateful for the education I got from ASU, and being a Cronkite grad in particular is something that I’m definitely proud of.”

COLLEGE SOCCER IN ARIZONA?

GCU MEN’S COACH SCHELLAS HYNDMAN PUTS A SPIN ON IT GRIFFIN FABITS • COLLEGE TIMES

PHOTOS • COURTESY GCU

The GCU Antelopes are the only Division I soccer team in Arizona.

S

the soccer program at Grand Canyon has received.

Four years ago, Alex Radilla was a senior in high school. Already committed to the University of Incarnate Word to play soccer, Radilla still went on his unofficial to GCU. On day one of his visit, Radilla says he broke off his previous allegiance and announced his commitment to play for the Lopes later that same day.

“I knew (Hyndman) from Dallas and I knew I was coming into good hands and that’s what I wanted. I wanted to develop and I wanted to get better as a player. I knew they had a vision,” Radilla says.

The marriage of Radilla and GCU has been beneficial for both sides over the last four years. The senior midfielder has been a

catalyst for Hyndman dating back to the fall of 2015, where he was one of four players to start 17 games his freshman year.

Radilla scored just the second goal of his career to put the Lopes on the board early during the Wisconsin game.

The engineer behind the Wisconsin win was Radilla’s fellow senior midfielder, Alex Ramirez.

The Phoenix-native Ramirez assisted on both goals during the 2-1 home-opener against the Badgers.

Both Radilla and Ramirez have been instrumental in putting the Lopes on the map, who were ranked No. 24 in the country after wins over Wisconsin and then-No. 20 Creighton.

“The more wins we can get, the more

support we’re going to get. If we can continue to have a good season, keep getting wins, keep getting the fans back, I think it’s just going to continue to grow,” Ramirez says.

The last winning season GCU men’s soccer enjoyed came in 2012, when it posted a 16-31 record and advanced to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.

Since then, they’ve haven’t won more than seven games in a season.

Hence the excitement for the 3-2 start and two of those wins coming against some of the country’s top teams.

Hyndman gave credit to the outpouring support the soccer program has received from GCU’s “Havocs” – the university’s student section and self-proclaimed “pride for GCU athletics.”

GCU, after two home soccer matches this season, was drawing more than 5,000 people per game, according to arizonasports.com.

Again, just unheard of here.

But in order to draw the boisterous crowd that has previously eluded them, the Lopes need to produce winning, meaningful soccer.

Hyndman drew similarities to the talent he puts on the field and the kind of recruiting Grand Canyon has made an effort to do.

“I think the players we’re bringing in now, they’re not always just about the talent, they’re about the talent and the character.

Hard workers, good human beings, good people. That became a part of our recruiting.

Every time we found a player we like, we checklist off on getting recommendations from coaches, players that knew him, and also from opposing coaches that played against him.”

The finished result has been a spark of fascination in soccer in Phoenix, where Grand Canyon has its sights set on winning its Western Athletic Conference, and even bigger, a National Championship. The Lopes’ last national title came in 1996, when they were a Division II school.

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | SEPTEMBER 20, 2018

chellas Hyndman had a forthright goal in mind when he accepted the position of men’s soccer head coach at Grand Canyon University four years ago.

“My hope coming here was very simple: to make soccer relevant at GCU,” he says.

A pretty tall task considering Arizona is no hotbed for collegiate soccer.

In fact, the Grand Canyon Antelopes are the only Division I university in the state of Arizona to feature a men’s soccer team.

Nope, not even heavy-hitters ASU or U of A have men’s soccer teams.

In other words, soccer in our neck of the woods is pretty bleak.

Insert Hyndman: a bit of a legend in the world of soccer, who made previous stops as a head coach at Southern Methodist University and Major League Soccer’s FC Dallas. Hyndman, 66, has 487 college wins to his name – ranked No. 16 for having the most college soccer victories in the nation – over a career that has spanned 40-plus seasons.

In 2010, he was tabbed the Coach of the Year for taking FC Dallas to the MLS Cup Final.

Now he’s in Phoenix, tasked with bringing life to a program that has produced uninspiring soccer in recent seasons.

And in his fourth season at GCU, Hyndman’s seen the interest in soccer on campus turn the corner a bit.

In the team’s home opener, the Lopes knocked off then No. 12 Wisconsin in front of a crowd of 6,648. The attendance marked the largest crowd an Arizona collegiate soccer match has ever seen.

“It was fantastic,” Hyndman says. “It might’ve been one of the best home openers I’ve ever been to at the collegiate level. I think it was a big statement for GCU to continue to say, ‘Hey, we’re your sports team in Arizona.’ We really want to be known as an Arizona sports program. This is something you don’t see other places in the country.”

Certainly not. But in Arizona? It’s almost unheard of to see the spike in interest

Old 97’s with Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights, Sun Devil Stadium’s Coca-Cola Sun Deck, 500 E. Veterans Way, Tempe, 1.800.745.3000, ticketmaster.com, 8 p.m. Wednesday, October 3, $29.50. CT

ld 97’s singer Rhett Miller can maintain his cool, even during a Final Destination-like scenario in New York City.

“You know, while we were talking, I crossed the Brooklyn Bridge. It was beautiful,” Miller says.

“Then a Budweiser truck dropped a case of beer and I managed to avoid the spinning cans.”

Miller’s days aren’t usually this dodgy. He’s preparing to release a solo album and Old 97’s is readying a Christmas collection of original songs. On Wednesday, October 3, the alt-country quartet will come together for a gig at Sun Devil Stadium on the Coca-Cola Sun Deck.

“We have a lot of great memories from our early trips to Arizona, probably 1993 to 1995,” Miller says. “We played once with the Gin Blossoms, when they were the big hometown heroes. There’s a cool music scene hiding down in Arizona.”

Miller has 25 years of memories with Old 97’s, who have about a dozen studio albums under their collective belt.

“It doesn’t seem possible,” he says with a laugh.

“Every show is something of a retrospective because of this. I spend a lot of time on the setlist. I try and make sure no era is left out. We have a lot of records. I find people respond to the new songs the same as the older material. Too Far to Care is widely regarded as a fan favorite. We probably play slightly more songs from the two most recent records and Too Far to Care.”

He admits, however, that creating a setlist isn’t as easy as it seems.

“I used to agonize over it for way too long,” he says. “Then I got into a groove. Because this is a one-off show, I’ll handcraft a brand new setlist.”

As an elder statesman of the alt-country world, Miller has mentored a slew of up-andcoming artists, like David Wax Museum. He calls it a nurturing, positive environment, contrary to “much of the world these days.”

“The band specifically reached out and asked my advice for different things,” Miller says.

“Those kids make great records. When I talk to these younger artists, I tell them talent is great, but it’s always going to be secondary to work ethic. Just put yourself out there and try.”

Miller is prolific himself. In 2017, Old 97’s released the album Graveyard Whistling, which he calls a “super fun album to record.”

“We returned to the scene of the crime of Too Far to Care,” he says. “We were just outside of El Paso and in the same room. It was definitely a time-travel experience. We worked again with Vance Powell, who’s a great producer and engineer. He has a great bedside manner.

We’re not getting any younger or less cranky.”

Miller has a solo record, The Messenger, dropping in October.

“It’s a bit of a weird record,” he says. “It’s different from anything I’ve ever done on a solo record. There’s a lot of depth to it, musically and lyrically. I’m really proud of it.

“I don’t know how to get people to hear records in general, especially my solo records. I hope it’ll connect. That’s all I can do, man.”

The Old 97’s Christmas album, Love the Holidays, features nine original holiday songs plus its rendition of “Auld Lang Syne.”

“People are really going to like our original Christmas songs,” he says. “It’s hard to write a Christmas song. It’s weird to have a new challenge in the business. There are so many records and things. At a certain point, you have to do something so it’s not like you’re treading the same ground.”

Miller is flying straight from Alaska, where he’s doing a handful of solo shows, to Arizona.

A light bulb goes off in Miller’s head.

“What about if I did an alphabetical tour ofPHOTO the United States?” he says with a laugh. “That • CELISSE JONES

INDIE ARTISTS FLOOD THE VALLEY FOR POP CULTURE MUSIC FESTIVAL GRACE OLDHAM • COLLEGE TIMES

I

n response to the cancellation of other local festivals, Atlas Artist Group is flipping the script for the Valley’s newest music festival.

A one-day event centered on popular music and popular culture, the inaugural Pop Culture Music Festival will be held at The Nile Theater on October 13, 2018. The lineup features a wide variety of independent artists with names ranging from popular actor and musician Drake Bell to native Phoenix rock band Anarbor.

Atlas Artist Group talent buyer David Kleinebreil, who curated the festival, says part of what motivated the planning of Pop Culture Music Festival was Superfly’s announcement of the cancellation of Lost Lake after its inaugural year in Phoenix.

“We saw an opening for something smaller and we wanted to keep the focus on the artists, which is why we decided on a oneday festival instead of the traditional two- or three-day festivals,” Kleinebreil says.

Kleinebreil says the festival had already been on his mind, but the cancellation of Lost Lake prompted him to action. “I just got my team together and said, ‘I have another crazy idea. I want to do a music festival,’” Kleinebreil says.

While larger companies have done similar festivals in the past, Kleinebreil says Atlas Artist Group’s approach to planning the event was unique because it was never about

“who is on the radio and which agency wants to work with which agency.”

“For us, it wasn’t about the bottom line. It was always much more of a passion project.”

Similarly, Kleinebreil says the artist selection process was all about choosing groups who will bring a unique energy to the festival. “We tried a really informal approach to figuring out what artists are out there that people are genuinely enjoying and what artists are going to put on a strong performance,” Kleinebreil says.

While Drake Bell, one of the headliners, has celebrity appeal, Kleinebreil says artist recognizability wasn’t one of the factors in selecting artists for the lineup. Instead, the individual agency of the artists is what sets the Pop Culture Music Festival apart.

“The lineup is full of independent artists – most of them aren’t signed with any major record label, so I think they feel free to create what they want to create,” Kleinebreil says. “(The artists) got our attention for being unique instead of trying to appeal to the mainstream.”

In addition to staging “a great day of music,” Kleinebreil says accessibility was a top priority in planning the festival. The genre of music, lower-than-average ticket prices and venue all contributed to making the festival more accessible.

history, The Nile is a familiar space for locals.

“A lot of people grew up in the Valley going to shows at The Nile – for us, it felt like the perfect venue.”

Michelle Donovan, owner and operator of The Nile, says The Nile is honored to be chosen as the venue for the Pop Culture Music Festival: “There are newer locations in town which could have been selected for the inaugural event, but I feel our venue lends itself well to this type of festival environment.”

The Nile features bars on both the basement level and close to the main stage; however, Donovan assured The Nile is very much “an all-ages venue.”

You won’t find barricades separating festivalgoers older and younger than 21 at The Nile. “Everybody has the same concert experience here,” Donovan says.

The Nile is located between two light rail stops and has free parking, which Donovan says makes it “easy to get here and easy to leave.”

Festivalgoers don’t have to look far for food, as there is a vegan cafe inside the venue – “The Nile is truly a one-stop shop for entertainment,” Donovan says.

The space features multiple stages in one building, making the venue conducive to

more artists in a shorter time frame.

Performances are scheduled to take place on both the basement stage and upstairs venue throughout the day, so Donovan says to plan for a full day of music.

Adam Juwig, the guitarist for Anarbor, says coming back to play at an iconic venue like The Nile for the third time in the band’s 15-year history is “crazy.”

Juwig says growing up in the Valley, he would “sneak out and take the public bus to go see shows at The Nile.”

He is looking forward to meeting up with old tour mates The Ready Set, but his bandmate, Danny Stravers, has other reasons he is excited to share the stage with the other performers on the lineup. “I grew up watching Drake & Josh, so I am stoked to be sharing the same stage as Drake Bell,” Stravers says.

La Bouquet’s Brian Sammis says he is excited to be on the lineup with lots of other great talent in a city where he has family.

More importantly, however, Sammis says he is simply looking forward to “dancing with everyone.”
