Rex-A-Vision EP 55:Barnett English

Barnett English, founder of the twice a year Joshua Tree Music Festival in Joshua Tree, California, has worked tirelessly to bring his singular vision of a festival to life. The goal, as Barnett sees it, is to aim for as wide a range of genres and artists as possible with quality as the main deciding factor. While you will see festival stalwarts such as the North Mississippi All-Stars and Dumpstaphunk you will also be exposed to band from around the world. Afrobeat flows into aboriginal folks into Americana into straight old fashioned rock and roll and around again. I got to talk to him about the history of what he is building, the method to his madness and his thoughts on the future. Dig it!
