FUSS FEST 2018 // Friday Aug 31st & Saturday Sept 1st!!

Fuss Fest is just around the corner (literally 4 days away as of today) and I can't begin to express how excited, honored and proud I am to be a part of something so special in my community. Fuss Fest is the brainchild of my lovely friend P VanRye. She works as hard as she's able (she is a VERY busy bee!!) to make this a special event for the Fresno/Central Valley area along with myself and two other super special friends (Samantha and Rio). With all proceeds going to a super good cause. Fresno's Girls Rock Camp in 2019 (fingers crossed)

It was created in response to the lack of diversity and representation from other fests that are held in the Fresno area every year. It is an all inclusive femme music and art fest. Last year was amazing but a whole lot of work and this year will be no different. Especially because this time around it's a two day event. Day one will be held at Tioga Sequoia Brewing in Downtown Fresno. It will be FREE, all ages and full of mostly all of the local bands as well as local vendors/Artists. Day two will be held at Strummers in the Tower District. It will still be all ages but the entry fee will be $20 with Sheer Mag headlining!! Soooo EXCITING!

You can follow Fuss Fest on Instagram and Twitter: @fussfest and on Facebook for all of the extra details! You can also purchase your tickets in advance for day two!

Yeah, almost all of the bands have dudes in them, but that shouldn't nor does it invalidate the super talented women/femmes in the bands. So, come on out to both nights and show all the hard working femme artists some love!

Below I've compiled a whole bunch of videos of almost all of the bands that will be playing both day one and two. Some official music videos as well as live performances. Hope you enjoy! ^_^
