On August 24, 2024, a collective of us hosted an impromptu, inaugural "Idlewild Music Festival" Acts included "The Nicolls" (Billy Nicoll, Jake Nicoll, Pamela MacKenzie, and Ilia Nicoll), Jenny Omnichord, Shopkeeper, Transstar, Magpie, and Sensi Boy, with special appearances by "Scraps of Tube Top" and "Bry Webb and Cots". The concert took place out at "Idlewild" the country home, and creative space and Scott and Jeanette. The festival was made possible by the hosting, stage construction, porta-potty aquisition and creative problem solving of our hosts, with massive moving pieces of tech, curation, logistics, communication, crafts, tents food and more from Jake, Billy, Ilia Nicoll, Pam, Greta, and Ryan, the Golden Bus team Jenny and Scott H, and many other folks who lent a hand day-of. It was a fun and free and successful experiment that we talk about doing again...who knows what the future holds!
