Raif Box Talks About Anvil Fest
Raif Box shares insights on Anvil Fest’s new venue, the lineup, and the growth of The Anvil Sessions. The festival has become a significant platform for local musicians, highlighting their talents and providing resources to help them grow.
The Anvil Fest will take place on August 16 and 17 at Mount Sequoyah. This two-day showcase features regional artists who have performed on The Anvil Sessions, a collaborative project between KUAF Public Radio and Holy Anvil Recording Company, owned and operated by Raif Box. The event aims to connect local artists with resources to support their growth.
The Anvil Sessions have been gaining popularity, capturing live performances at Holy Anvil Recording Co. Recently, KUAF has been actively involved, finding new artists and highlighting the local music scene. Anvil Fest is an extension of this initiative, bringing artists and resources together to foster further development.
The lineup for Anvil Fest includes a wide range from regional musicians. Featured artists include Midnight Wagon, Super Model, Gardensnakes, and Obliviate. These acts have already gained exposure through The Anvil Sessions and will now perform at the festival.
Beyond the performances, Anvil Fest will also have sponsor tables providing artists with information about local resources to help their careers. This includes opportunities for recording, marketing, and more, making it a valuable event for those looking to advance in the music industry.
Raif Box’s vision for Anvil Fest is a testament to the region’s growing musical talent. By bringing together musicians, resources, and the community, this event will be a showcase of the thriving music scene in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
