Ichthus is just two days away!
For those who don’t know, the Seedbed studios are nestled between the horse farms and rolling hills of Wilmore, Kentucky, which coincidentally is also the home of the Ichthus Music Festival. It’s the biggest Christian music festival in the country and preparations are underway as the city braces for tens of thousands of people to descend on Wilmore.
Myself and the Seedbed video guy, Ryan, will be there to interview several of the artists. We will also be giving away free Seedbed t-shirts (yay!) to anyone who finds us on the festival grounds and has a wierd skill or talent. We’ll also accept impersonations of performing artists or singing skills. Seedbed will also have a booth where you can purchase some awesome resources.
When I think of Ichthus, I think of two things: youth groups and music. So in honor of Ichthus and all who plan to attend, here are some links we know (hope) you’ll love.
