Music Festival Talk with Kyle Carter of Mile 0 Fest
In the episode, Mark Baratto sits down with Kyle Carter to talk about a whole lot of live music.
We talk about his involvement in the Songwriters Sessions, Songwriters Festival, and his own creation, Mile 0 Fest.
Kyle and his family were living, what most consider to be a "comfortable life," but something was missing.
After falling in love with Key West, Kyle sold it all and took his love for music to his newly beloved island paradise.
Living a "comfortable life" may sound good on paper, but in the end, going after your dreams is what LIFE is all about.
More on Mile 0 Fest - (Jan 28 - Feb 1)Mile 0 Fest was founded in 2017, with its first year of production being 2018. It was created on the principle of producing a festival that checked all of the boxes:
What is Mile 0 Fest? Mile 0 Fest is a 4 Day Red Dirt/Americana Music Festival in Paradise (aka Key West).
When is Mile 0 Fest? The third annual Mile 0 Fest will be January 28th-February 1st. We have our Duval Street Kick-Off Party on Tuesday, January 28th, 2020. It is open to the public and is a free show for everyone. So although the festival is a four-day festival, you want to come in the day before and enjoy the kick-off party.
