Kassie Hilgert, President & CEO of ArtsQuest - Your Next Favorite Band

In the midst of the busiest week all year, Kassie Hilgert sat down with us to talk all things Musikfest - what it means to her and to the community, the most important aspects of it, and where it is heading.  We also dig in to some "Musikfest Weird", and she also get vulnerable when we share some highlights of great moments from the past.

We do touch on her story and the accolades she's been receiving, but she's too humble to shine too much of a spotlight on that.  Highly deserving of all she is recognized for, Kassie is a great leader and important icon for young woman and for the LGBTQ+ community.

This was such a great conversation, we want to share highlights from it all on its own, and it contains so much great info for those interested in learning more about the festival and other offerings from ArtsQuest.  Enjoy!

As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band". If you tuned in today because you already knew this musician - thank you very much! We hope that you enjoyed it and would consider following us and subscribing so we can bring you your #nextfavband in the future. And check out nextfavband.com for our entire catalog of interviews!

If you have a recommendation on who you think OUR next favorite band should be, hit us up on social media (@nextfavband everywhere) or send us an email at nextfavband@stereophiliastudio.com.

Thank you to Carver Commodore, argonaut&wasp, and Blair Crimmins for allowing us to use their music in the show open and close. It makes everything sound so much better!

Let’s catch a live show together soon!
