This past weekend, Sacred Rose Festival hosted arguably one of the most expertly curated musical lineups the live music scene has enjoyed in years. From the debut performance by Philco – the collaboration of Phil Lesh & Friends, key members of Wilco and more – to Cory Wong and Margo Price jamming with Goose, the festival outside the Windy City left fans with an experience that won’t soon be forgotten.

Behind the scenes, within the SeatGeek Stadium, artists rested, fiddled, jammed, reclined and connected – at the core of all the off-stage collaboration was the Roadie Lounge. Despite inclement weather, which forced Sunday’s jubilee to shutter early, the energy in the lounge remained electric in a way that lightning could not touch.

Special thanks to our sponsors, Ernie Ball, KORG, Passion House Coffee, Gator Cases, GCI Outdoor and D’Angelico Guitars.
