They can pick up a “seed bomb” to spread flowers in their neighborhood or get their face painted with the Yellowhammer logo. While interested music-lovers enjoy the show, they can hula-hoop, get a henna tattoo or cool off with a Steel City Pop. And the cost is a big factor for any music festival.” “It’s hard to imagine how many moving pieces are involved. “I interviewed over a hundred applicants for Creative Campus next semester, and the number one thing they said when we asked what kind of event they would like to do is ‘music festival!,’” Raimist said. Raimist said this event has been an itch the interns have had for years, and it’s a relief to finally scratch it. “They just don’t have a big enough audience, venue or festival for them to perform at to get their name out there.” “I truly believe we have some of the most talented bands in the state,” said Alyx Chandler, another Creative Campus intern and frequent Planet Weekly contributing writer. The Doctors and the Lawyers, the beating heart of Tuscaloosa’s rock scene, is set to play along with Lake Lyon, Agent Honeydew and an improv group called Off the Top. The Facebook page for Yellowhammer had over 300 likes within 24 hours of being posted and shared by partner groups.Ī big draw, of course, will be the music.

Rachel Raimist, the group’s co-director, said a big advantage of starting out smaller is that they can test run all the logistics and spot any speed bumps. The Yellowhammer Festival will be orchestrated by Creative Campus, an arts advocacy group at the university. “The main thing we want is people to come and have a good time, and we have our fingers crossed for beautiful weather.” “We’ve been using the hashtag ‘#GoodVibes’ on everything,” said Ben Tomlin, a student leader for the project.
