The festival came about in celebration of two decades of the Home Grown Music Network (HGMN) which has catalyzed incredible audio offerings. The network also launched Harmonized Records, going on to introduce the world to such powerful scene bands such as Lotus, Perpetual Groove, Garaj Mahal, The Motet and more. Coming on the scene years before the actual word 'jamband' emerged as a genre or even a word, the Home Grown Music Network has been there helping talented independent bands reach fans on a new level.
HGMN turns 20 in 2015 and its birthday is a crossroads; looking deep to its roots while solidly continuing to be a vital player in the modern, independent music industry. So independent that when put to the numbers, the distribution and international reach of Homegrown Music Network shows its scope as it has sold over 1,000,000 albums, paid out over $8,000,000 directly to artists and labels, distributed over 3,000,000 free catalogs, offering over 4000 items in stock, hosted over 250 bands on the Network including Umphrey's McGee, SOJA, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, STS9, Lotus, Keller Williams, The Disco Biscuits & many more.
