TeeRoy's 2 Cents:
- They’re expanding the event this year to include male artists for the first time.
- Sounds like the perfect place for boss ladies to link up.
- We've said it before -- these artist-curated fests really cut through the noise and stand out from the pack in a crowded live events market.
- Sounds like the dress code is going to be "grown and sexy."
- This is actually the fest's first time adding male performers to the lineup.
- The fest's name comes from MJB's 2017 album.
