LUBBOCK, Texas<\/a> \u2014 While many big cities will often see music festivals being held, you may be shocked to know Lubbock is hosting one of those festivals.<\/p>\n It\u2019s called \u2018The Good Times Fest,\u2019 an event hosted by Blue House Productions. This event is a three-day festival at the Garden, featuring bands that are local and from out of town.<\/p>\n This event was started by the creative mind behind Blue House Productions, Clayton Medley, who is someone that decided he wanted the Lubbock music scene to grow.<\/p>\n \t \u201cI just wanted to see more music culture in Lubbock, honestly. After COVID, a lot of stuff kind of died and dissipated a little bit and there were a lot of places figuring out what they were going to do as far as music, and you can talk about the underground sound or like the professional side of things. For us it was more what can we do for the community? What can we do for the local folks still in town,\u201d Medley said.<\/p>\n The idea started when Medley was in college, throwing house parties, hosting DJ events and rap events sparked the idea for something bigger.<\/p>\n \u201cWe gradually grew into this thing where we were doing big bands and throwing big festivals, so it\u2019s been cool to see the community that we have built and the culture that were growing,\u201d Medley said.<\/p>\n \t Medley said at times it was a challenge figuring out the Lubbock community wanted to hear, explaining everybody has their own \u201cniche.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just been a broad band of figuring out what works and what doesn\u2019t work,\u201d Medley said.<\/p>\n The Good Times Fest is a \u201cBattle of the Bands\u201d event, as Medley described.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have got three judges coming out and they will be judging the bands. Over the course of about a week in half, we had an Instagram vote-off. Everyone got their friends to go and vote on our Instagram story. We had 28 bands submit this year,\u201d Medley said.<\/p>\n And this year they have partnered up with Fox Tone studios doing a recording and media bundle. This means the winning band will get and amazing prize, such as getting a song recorded for free, a music video content shoot and photos as well.<\/p>\n Medley described the bands that will be playing as \u201cbroad,\u201d saying there is something for everyone.<\/p>\n \u2018There is a lot of heavy metal, rock and roll and country that night. Friday is more of our rock night, a lot more alternative I would say,\u201d Medley said.<\/p>\n Medley says the festival has seen growth since last year and is excited to see the hard work come to life.<\/p>\n \u201cIts been fun to see the growth but also work for the growth too, that has been one of my favorite parts. It\u2019s been a challenge all the way around.\u201d Medley said.<\/p>\n The event will be held September 10 through the 12 at the Garden at 1801 Buddy Holly Avenue. Medley says the event always has \u201cgood music, good times, great vibes, good people and great nights.\u201d Tickets can be bought here<\/a> and to keep up the festivals page you can follow along here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amy Anderson and Julia Roberts 9 hours ago LUBBOCK, Texas \u2014 While many big cities will often see…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":425892,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[168,170,169],"class_list":["post-425891","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-lubbock","tag-lubbock","tag-lubbock-headlines","tag-lubbock-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/425891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=425891"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/425891\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/425892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=425891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=425891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=425891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
