Mojo Fest and SMFO Recap: Feeling All The Feels
Episode 442
Monday, 13 July, 2026
There's something magical about gathering in a field with people who speak the same language—the language of music, connection, and community. This week on No Simple Road, Aaron, Mel, Apple, and our newest co-host Conner hit the road to recap two unforgettable weekends that reminded us why we keep answering the call. First, we head to Mojo Fest in Woodland, Washington, where music, art, and intention came together to create a grassroots festival experience built on heart. We share our favorite performances, unexpected moments, new friendships, and the community spirit that made Mojo Fest feel like more than a festival—it felt like home. From late-night jams to spontaneous conversations and the incredible work of the organizers and volunteers, we reflect on what makes independent festivals so vital to the live music community. Then we make our way to Rhythms Grounds in Sandy, Oregon for Long Strange Putt's SMFO (Sandy Muthafu*kin Oregon) gathering, a uniquely Pacific Northwest celebration of the merging of two amazing human beings, Sean and Meg and the beautiful weirdness that brings us all together. We unpack the music, the atmosphere, the people, and the unmistakable energy that filled every corner of the weekend, proving once again that some of the most meaningful experiences happen far from the biggest stages. Along the way, we talk about the importance of supporting independent festivals, the artists who pour everything into their performances, and the volunteers, vendors, and fans who transform these events into living, breathing communities. This isn't just a recap—it's a love letter to the grassroots music scene, the PNW community we are so honored to be a part of, and the people who continue to keep it alive. Whether you were dancing in the crowd, watching from afar, or looking for your next festival adventure, this episode is your invitation to relive the laughter, the music, the serendipity, and the moments that remind us we're all walking this No Simple Road together. 🎧 Press play and come celebrate two incredible weekends filled with unforgettable music, lasting friendships, and the kind of community that can only be found when we gather with open hearts.
