PICKATHON INDIE ROOTS MUSIC FESTIVAL LAUNCHES FIVE NEW VIDEO CHANNELS TODAY

Pickathon Indie Roots Music Festival is increasingly considered one of the top music festivals in the United States, and now, the Happy Valley, OR-based event is becoming recognized for capturing and broadcasting the best live music footage in the world.

Beginning today, January 7th, 2015, Pickathon will debut its first full season of video content featuring the finest performances from last year’s festival. To comprise the season, seven major cultural/lifestyle brands will each host one distinct Pickathon channel based on the festival’s unique stages and private performance locations. Opportunities to experience this never-before-seen concert footage will be released monthly via these exclusive media partners leading up to a live broadcast of Pickathon’s 17th annual festival, taking place July 31-August 2, 2015 on Pendarvis Farm.
