Welcome to Mitten Music, where we bring you authentic conversations.

Chris Taylor joins Jeff and Ryan to talk about Fuzz Fest, the long-running rock festival he started in Ann Arbor. He breaks down how the festival grew from 33 bands and two stages into a yearly rock gathering at the Blind Pig, with a focus on punk, psych, stoner rock, garage, and related sounds.

We also get into his bands, especially Mazinga and the revived Blue Snaggletooth, plus the handmade, old-school approach he uses to run the whole thing. Chris explains how he curates the lineup himself, manages stage changeovers, and even performs liquid light shows under the name Eternal Eyes.
