“It was raining and I liked it that way. It was muddy, and die hard music fans were sitting under tarps and tents and raincoats, drinking wine and making a party out of it.Rain makes some sense of urgency for people, and makes people come together a bit. It’s binding….I dunno if you want this quote cause you might be concerned the rain keeps people away. You might want to advertise sunshine. But I loved it in the rain.”

Sonny Smith, on 2011’s Huichica Festival

“Rain or shine, grapes or vines it was the a gathering of the healing kind.”
Britt Govea, FolkYeah

“The essential image that, for me, sums up the collision of class, quality, and rock ‘n’ roll that is Huichica: Eric D Johnson of the Fruit Bats onstage taking a big pull of Gewurtstraminer straight from the bottle during their set in 2010.”
Bob Parins, Vetiver

“As an artist, playing Huichica felt like attending a party thrown in your honor, which is what we all wish live shows were always like. What’s more, the party was a really good one.”
Ryan Browne, Tortured Genies and Sonny & the Sunsets
