Mark Poppen and Joel Gaudet are fired up for their latest venture.
The duo already has their hands full with podcasts, record stores, and sound systems, but this summer they’re taking on a fresh challenge: creating their own music festival.
MooseFest is scheduled for Aug. 7 in Bellevue, Sask., a roughly 40 minute drive south of Prince Albert. The duo has rock bands League of Wolves, Seven Mile Sun, and The Steadies lined up to perform, and a wealth of enthusiasm for their new project.
“We’ve always had the ball tournaments and snowmobile rallies on a regular annual basis (in Bellevue) and those are always spectacular turnouts, but if I’m being honest, it’s very repetitive,” said Gaudet, the inventory manager of Funky Moose Records, and lead host of the Sit Down Podcast. “Those two main events have been going on for 20 years plus, and I think we just, let’s do something different for a change.”
