BONUS: Exceprt 3 of 3 from Summertime Festival Banter - guest appearance by Shayna Super, Executive Director of Levitt SteelStacks

In this triple collabo, I'm joined by co-hosts Dan Drago of 25 O'Clock Pod and Nate Runkel of Yo! That's My Jawn to share our thoughts on which concerts and festivals are not to be missed this summer.

In this segment, we're joined by special guest Shayna Super, who as Executive Director of the Levitt SteelStacks, leads the effort to curate the line-up for the FREE shows on that stage Thur, Fri and Sat, all summer long, She's also a Program Director for ArtsQuest so also helps lead the efforts of Musikfest and many other concerts and fests the rest of the year as well, but today our focus is on Levitt SteelStacks.

First she shares how the Levitt Foundation came to be and the wonderful offerings they have across the country - 7 permanent stages (SteelStacks is one) and several other temporary stages in many many cities.

Then we review the SteelStacks line-up (which is stellar) and each share some of the favorites we are looking forward to in particular and play a song from them.  

We feature the following artists and their performance date is noted:

• Levitt Foundation's national touring act this year
• 7/26: The War & Treaty @TheWarAndTreatyOfficial

• 6/21: Sounds of the Underground - all local songwriter's round curated by Gerard Longo of Underground Music Collective and Phillip Reese from Your Next Favorite Band @UMCNashville @nextfavband 
• 7/5: Bandits on the Run @BanditsOnTheRun 
• 7/18: Happy Landing @happylandingxo 
• 8/17: Patty PerShayla & the Mayhaps @PattyPerShayla
