Kicksville Festival

Riverview Farm - Avenue, Maryland

A legendary reunion for the Papadosio family bloomed on a beautiful Maryland farm, nestled by a river of the Chesapeake Bay, where we danced, we laughed, and shared so much love as our spirits became one through art and music. In early 2025 after announcing a well-deserved indefinite hiatus after almost 20 years of making music and playing countless shows and festivals, the boys had something special planned for the Dosio Family before they departed that would be one of the most intimate events they’ve ever created.

This was my first time working at a music festival after 5 years of just attending them and I completely fell in love. Of course attending a festival is magical but being part of making the magic happen is a whole other level of joy! Music festivals have changed my life and saved my soul. I'm happy and grateful to dedicate my life to them and the people who curate them, especially ones as special and intimate as this one.

My favorite memory of this weekend's experience was everyone singing along with all our heart to a rare acoustic version of "All I Knew", you could feel the bliss in our voices.

(ending)Cheers to all the people who shared the magic, the music that brought me closer to God, and the hopes for another family reunion next year with all the subatomic particles who know how to have a good time.
