- 0:16Speaker 1: Excited to visit right now with Corey from Four Winds
- 0:19Speaker 1: Music and Art Festival. We've got events tomorrow, We've got
- 0:23Speaker 1: events on Saturday, and you've got a lot of stuff
- 0:26Speaker 1: going on. Man, do you know how many bands total
- 0:28Speaker 1: are playing in the twenty twenty six four Wins Festival.
- 0:31Speaker 2: Yeah, there's about one hundred bands this year. Give your take.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Just think about the logistics, folks. One hundred bands to coordinate.
- 0:38Speaker 1: And when you have one hundred bands, these bands have
- 0:41Speaker 1: multiple people. So you're talking hundreds of people to coordinate.
- 0:45Speaker 1: And this is an event that is quite the undertaking,
- 0:48Speaker 1: isn't it.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, so it's this is our eleventh year and
- 0:52Speaker 2: it takes place in downtown across five different stages, and
- 0:56Speaker 2: it's yeah tomorrow, Friday and then Saturday, and yeah, it's
- 1:00Speaker 2: quite the undertaking. But at this point I think we
- 1:02Speaker 2: you know, we got it dialed in after this many years.
- 1:05Speaker 1: And the thing that's really fun as I'm looking at
- 1:07Speaker 1: this list, there's names on here that I know, but
- 1:09Speaker 1: there's also a bunch of names that I don't know.
- 1:10Speaker 1: But that's the cool thing. This is an opportunity to
- 1:13Speaker 1: get out and here's some bands that you know and love,
- 1:15Speaker 1: but also here bands that maybe you haven't heard of yet,
- 1:18Speaker 1: but you might fall in love with them this weekend.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, Like the thought process behind it is to
- 1:24Speaker 2: include everybody from our soue calls in South Dakota music communities.
- 1:28Speaker 2: So there's literally bands of every genre on this thing.
- 1:31Speaker 2: There's rock bands, metal bands, rappers, DJs, indie rock bands,
- 1:34Speaker 2: singer songwriters, all sorts of different stuff. I mean, you know,
- 1:39Speaker 2: I encourage anybody that you know loves music to stop
- 1:42Speaker 2: on down for the weekend and check it out.
- 1:44Speaker 1: And I see that there's different stages. We've got Icon,
- 1:47Speaker 1: We've got Club David, We've got Full Circle, We've got
- 1:49Speaker 1: Vishnu Bunny, And again, this is not something that you
- 1:53Speaker 1: just go to one place. You can kind of mill
- 1:55Speaker 1: around from place to place, check out all the different places,
- 1:57Speaker 1: and if I want to take in the full experience,
- 2:00Speaker 1: I should get a ticket for the whole thing. How
- 2:01Speaker 1: do I do that?
- 2:02Speaker 2: Yeah, so you can go to four Windsfest dot com
- 2:05Speaker 2: tickets around sale there it's forty five dollars and that's
- 2:08Speaker 2: for the entire weekend, or if you can just make
- 2:10Speaker 2: it one day, it's thirty dollars a day. But yeah,
- 2:12Speaker 2: it's nearly one hundred bands for forty five bucks.
- 2:15Speaker 1: That is a fantastic deal. And again, Tomorrow and Saturday
- 2:19Speaker 1: are the days. And I'm on the website right now
- 2:22Speaker 1: for Windsfest dot com f o R four Windsfest dot
- 2:26Speaker 1: Com and it's the music and art festival because there's
- 2:30Speaker 1: art involved in this as well, right.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely so. Down at Icon at the main entry
- 2:36Speaker 2: in our event hall, there's going to be multiple vendors
- 2:40Speaker 2: and multiple artists. Between vendors and artists, we have nearly
- 2:43Speaker 2: forty different people showcasing their theocraft.
- 2:46Speaker 1: In addition to all of the stuff we have going
- 2:48Speaker 1: on in Sioux Falls tomorrow and Saturday, Corey is also
- 2:52Speaker 1: managing another festival on the other side of the state
- 2:56Speaker 1: this weekend as well. You are a crazy dude, man.

- 3:02Speaker 1: And not quite as many things going on in Rapid City.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Is this the first time you've been in Rapid or
- 3:07Speaker 1: have you done it out there as well in the past.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Yeah, So this is our third year in Rapid City
- 3:11Speaker 2: and it's our first time at the seven oh seven.
- 3:14Speaker 2: And you know, over the years it started to really
- 3:17Speaker 2: grow legs over there. It's got some of the same
- 3:21Speaker 2: great national acts that we have in suit Balls on
- 3:23Speaker 2: Friday and then on Saturday in Rapid City, it's just
- 3:26Speaker 2: a whole day of great bands where half of those
- 3:30Speaker 2: bands are national acts that rarely make it through South Dakota.
- 3:33Speaker 2: So if you're in Rapid City, I definitely encourage you
- 3:36Speaker 2: to come check things out.
- 3:38Speaker 1: That is awesome. And again Friday and Saturday and Sioux
- 3:40Speaker 1: Falls and also Friday and Saturday in Rapid City. So
- 3:43Speaker 1: if you've got friends in the Blackaills, be sure to
- 3:45Speaker 1: tell them about the four Win Fest out there. Four
- 3:48Speaker 1: winsfast dot Com And again the show that you're putting on.
- 3:53Speaker 1: You couldn't do this without sponsors, and I see several
- 3:55Speaker 1: sponsors on here. We better make a shout out to
- 3:57Speaker 1: those guys.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Yeah. So you know, we have Cats ice Cream, which
- 4:01Speaker 2: is a new ice cream company. They're ice cream is great.

- 4:06Speaker 2: our longtime friends at common Sense, an urban legend that
- 4:09Speaker 2: sponsored it this year, and then you yourself at Sonny
- 4:13Speaker 2: Radio hopped on board to help us out as well.
- 4:16Speaker 1: We're excited to do it. And I see our friends
- 4:17Speaker 1: at the Dakota Scout helping as well. And Metro oh yeah,
- 4:20Speaker 1: oh yeah. And I see Metro Concerts live. Is that
- 4:24Speaker 1: you or is that somebody else.

- 4:29Speaker 2: Joe Dakota Scout, they've been longtime sponsors as best as well.
- 4:33Speaker 2: They've been on board basically since they started. And you know,
- 4:36Speaker 2: Joe's always been a help, great and a great help.
- 4:38Speaker 2: And without all these sponsors, this wouldn't happen. So it's
- 4:41Speaker 2: really a thing where it takes the whole community to
- 4:42Speaker 2: make this thing work.
