This week on The Morning Thing, we are talking with the artists coming to SonFest 2018!
The Young Escape is part of the Sonfest lineup this year. This band of siblings is excited about coming to Mount Vernon. WNZR’s Wesley Boston talked with McKenna Johns from The Young Escape. Click HERE to hear their conversation.
THE YOUNG ESCAPE band is from Southern California, THE YOUNG ESCAPE (Capitol) delivers a fresh shot of EDM-infused Indie pop with the energetic live show to match. Comprised of siblings Ryan, McKenna, Kyrsten, and Luke Johns, the band’s debut singles “Good Life” and “Neverfade” are an alchemy of modern pop sheen and sophisticated edge. TYE speaks to the themes of insecurity, anxiety, and pressure facing every kid in the modern age with the hope and escape that’s found in the kinetic spirit of youth.
