Morby teamed with longtime Bay Area festival promoters Noise Pop Industries to produce the daylong This Is A Festival. The fest will be co-emceed by How Long Gone podcast hosts Chris Black and Jason Stewart.

“Getting asked to host a festival is very surreal,” Morby stated. “It feels like a dream in which you’re trying to rationalize how all of these different people from your life are somehow in the same place at the same time. In the case of my festival, it’s an absolute dream come true: five of my favorite artists spanning the last 20 years of my life all performing at an amphitheater that will be MC’d by my favorite podcast, How Long Gone.
“Come watch myself, Jessica Pratt, Youth Lagoon, Ben Kweller, Makaya Mccraven and BLACKSTARKIDS share the stage of The Quarry Amphitheater in Santa Cruz this October – which is to really say – come be in my dream! It’s gonna be a blast.”
Tickets to Kevin Morby Presents: This Is A Festival are on sale now.
