John – the festival founder and now our friend with whom we ended the evening in the festival’s backstage area talking about music, people, culture, and how this amazing festival came to life out of a very fragile idea – saw us performing in Hamburg during the Reeperbahn festival back in September of 2019 as we were playing a 20-minute set (one song; Summertime Departures) at 2 pm on a Saturday. He was simply passing by and noticed the humongous amount of music gear that was on our stage as we were 7 musicians behind Alex and he, John, admitted to me last night: ”I told the friends I was with: ‘Look at this band, they have way too much gear! This is insane!!! That means this concert will either be a complete disaster or a masterpiece… I have to see this!!!’”
