The Living the Dream Foundation was founded in 2007. Working within the music industry, the foundation helps to give a "dream day" to individuals with disabilities by allowing them opportunities to meet their favorite artists. LTD was the perfect cause for Music Scene Media to partner with for our first-ever MSM Fest! Thanks to my dear friend Logan Abdo, who received his very own Dream Day a couple years ago, we dubbed the event Mosh for Miracles.

Headlining the event was Oh! You Pretty Things out of Charlotte, NC. The rest of the stacked lineup included Impulse Machine, LO, FAFO (Fuck Around and Find Out), and Manic Third Planet. These are some of the very best artists to come out of the Carolinas, so the stage was set to fundraise for this great cause.


MANIC THIRD PLANET

First up was Manic Third Planet out of Chapel Hill, NC. The punk trio includes Landon Johnson, Adam Green, and Rob Richmond.
