And out of that comes this experience that people <br /> really love." <br /> Weiner began preforming at the Carrboro Music Festival when it was created 16 years ago. <br /> Although she moved to Florida for a few years, she says Carrboro's charm brought her back. <br /> Wiener said that music is how we express ourselves as human beings. For her, "Music equals life, <br /> equals joy, equals love." <br /> Despite performing in Carrboro and at the festival for many years, Weiner is still surprised by how <br /> receptive the crowds are. <br /> For Weiner, her favorite part of the festival is being able to play together with her friends in <br /> mahaloJazz. "This group is such a talented group. They're interested in that complete ensemble <br /> sound, and that's what I'm interested in. It's exciting to try that out in front of a really enthusiastic <br /> crowd." <br /> According to Williams, the crowds continue to grow because, while the festival is consistent, it <br /> varies every year. "We try to get as many new faces and new bands as possible. One-third of the <br /> bands are first time festival players. It is a different experience for those people who come year <br /> after year, after year. " <br /> All of the bands donate their talents, and many see it as a way for them to give back to the <br /> community and get exposure from a different audience. Williams said, "Most bands are very happy <br /> to donate their time and talents. We make an effort to get as much diversity and variety as we <br /> can." <br /> Lock 1 October 2, 2013 at 9:02 pm URL: htt :/1w rneY2zGGP-1ZW <br /> Comment See all comments <br /> 10/3/2013 <br />
