Ep. 8: Scotty Stoughton - Grilled Cheese & The Grateful Dead

Founder of Bonfire Entertainment and the Winter Wondergrass music festival, Scotty Stoughton has tons of insight on the magic that exists in the music community. He moved to Colorado from the east coast while selling grilled cheeses as he followed the Grateful Dead’s “Summer Tour of ‘94”, and recognized a unique quality of the Colorado music scene. Listen in to hear him talk about that quality, as well as the type of live shows that bring together everyone from “bikers to ranchers to yuppies”. Stoughton also discusses what the word ‘failure’ means to him, and how he takes a different approach to his mission as a promoter, both in attitude and in action. If you want to learn about how he connects his love of nature with his passion for music in his career, check out this week’s Songscape!
