It is a VERY SPECIAL woman's birthday today. Bon Anniversaire, Lisa Stafford! This woman, our Programming Director of over 25 years, is the reason that Festival shares amazing, diverse international music year after year. When reflecting on her immense impact...this project came to mind.
💙🩵💜
During the 2020 pandemic, when we were forced into quarantine, Lisa's endlessly creative mind came up with the idea to do this collaboration video with artists from around the globe to unite us all and give hope, inspiration and share music. She chose the uplifting song U'Huh by Sinkane
As Lisa has faced an unimaginable loss of her son, Chris Stafford, this past week, we want nothing more than to be able to bring her a glimpse of the hope and happiness she has given SO MANY in her life.
The many artists featured in this video submitted A LOT of individual tracks to her brilliant son, Chris, to mix into one beautiful song. Of course he took on the task without a flinch - and in collaboration with his buddy, our Marketing Director, Carly, they produced this video to bring a smile to viewers across continents during an indescribably difficult and lonely time.
This song is about finding light in the shadows, coming together to lift each other up and carry on. Please close your eyes and send warmth, love and light to Lisa on her birthday.
💙🩵💜
You deserve the world, Lisa. And your Festival family lifts you up, now and forever. We love you beyond words.
