When Izzy Heltai's Mom took him to Newport Folk Festival as a kid, Izzy would never have believed he'd be playing that very stage roughly a decade or so later, but lo and behold, dreams do sometimes become reality. But that road has not been an easy one for Izzy.  As a trans person, self-realization had been forced upon him in a very real and striking way. And as a young trans youth, Izzy was forced to know himself far more than some people ever will; yet his struggle with identity has made him the person he is today. As a result, the authenticity and barebones realism in his artistic output is even more striking. Not only has Izzy been writing songs since he was 16 years old, but he's a true Road Dog -- slogging out time in his van driving across the country, touring in true DIY style. Now having performed at Newport Folk, as well as Bonaroo, SXSW and ACL, Izzy has truly hit his stride. His lovely debut EP, Day Plan (5 songs Written 4 the End of the World), showcases his neo-folk vibe and authentic self in a compelling and down-to-earth fashion. His recent performance at the Love Rising Benefit at Bridgestone Arena in Newport to support the movement against anti-trans legislation has been a highlight of his year thus far and he will be playing Outside Lands Festival in August. Come learn more about this lovely, easy-going and compelling human on this episode of Roadcase!

Rick Farman, co-founder of live music festival and entertainment experiential company Superfly (producers of Bonnaroo & Outside Lands), joins Peter in this CREATV University session to discuss his journey about how he and his partners fearlessly started Bonnaroo & created Superfly. Rick and Peter also discuss the impact of Covid-19 on musicians and the live music and festival industry, what musicians can do right now in a non-touring world, and where the live music and event industry goes from here. Finally, Rick and Peter discuss innovations in the music industry today that are re-imagining the music industry of tomorrow (and lay out some of their favorite companies who are changing the game).
