Thanks guys. Really hard to leave my current job but this festival is way more my style as I get to work with bands from all over the world from all different genres. It's a festival that The New Breed has played a number of times in the past and I can't wait to work with the next generation of bands.

I start there on April 12th.

Thanks for the kind words.
