Can’t believe it’s already been two weeks since the 2024 festival wrapped! It somehow feels like it was both yesterday and last year.

Bringing together this inspiring, generous, supportive, and all-around positive community is the highlight of our year. We can’t thank enough everyone for making it possible. In particular, we want to shout out the following individuals, all of whom donated their time and services PRO BONO! We truly could not have done it without: 

— Our amazing audio crew, who not only created one of the best-sounding festivals yet but also recorded it all (stay tuned!): Grant Capes, Mike Meanstreetz, Kevin Schwenkler, and Andrew Weathers

— Our volunteers, Celeste Ollivier and Violet Hannesena, who had the merch and ticketing tables on lock and were always ready with hands to lend

— Our graphic designer, Giorgia Sage, who did all of the out-of-this-world design work you saw this year, creating the most cohesive and striking visual language we’ve ever had

— Our Submissions Committee who reviewed dozens and dozens of performance proposals to help curate this year’s dynamic, diverse, and damned-good lineup: Vern Avola, Nicholas Deyoe, and Haydeé Jimenéz

To everyone who contributed to our fundraising campaign and came out to our fundraising party: you make this possible, and your support of this experimental music community means the world to us. 

To Kevin Bones and everyone who works at The Palms: you’re our home away from home. Thank you for creating the best environment for experiencing this music and being the best watering hole in Wonder Valley!

To all of the artists: we’ve said it before and we’ll never stop saying it, you’re awesome. Thank you for making the trek, sharing your work, and creating this incredible sense of community. 

We’ll keep sharing highlights from this year as we compile them, but in the meantime enjoy some of Christopher Wormald’s rad pics showcasing what this year was all about.

Oh, and mark your calendars: HDS 2025 is coming to you October 10th and 11th, 2025!

With love and appreciation, 
TJ and Ethan.
