Festival Creator Jason Hedges is interviewed by Conrad Schuman of The Artist Roadmap. Jason had an idea to throw a birthday party for his hero Tom Petty, posthumously, in Gainesville, FL, USA in 2017. What began only 3 years ago as a small gathering has blossomed into hosting a virtual festival with some of the largest headliners touring the world today.
