In this episode of Music Festivals Podcast, I sit down with OJ Wilson, the heart behind the Lazy Jam Music Festivals, to get the inside story on how this unique festival has not only survived but thrived for seven years.
OJ shares how Lazy Jam started as a small gathering of friends and slowly grew into a tight-knit community—still keeping its grassroots, backyard feel with thoughtful touches like reserved camping spots and community fire pits. We talk about what it takes to maintain the beautiful land where Lazy Jam takes place, including the dedicated army of friends and family who keep everything running, plus the legacy of his late best friend Jay, whose spirit truly lingers through every detail of the festival.
We also go deep on this year’s music lineup and big upgrades—OJ walks us through the fresh new stage, some standout acts, and a few surprises he's especially excited about.
If you’re curious about what makes a smaller festival feel like home, or just want a peek into the passion that drives these gatherings, this episode has all the details. Hope to see you at Lazy Jam this September—tickets are still available!
