'If you haven't been out here last year, if you're even thinking about it, the weather's supposed to be fantastic, both in itself. We do have walkup tickets available. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Obviously. You know, it's a festival. It's going to be loud music. It's going to be fun music.' said Brian Ambrose president of Sioux Falls Canaries

Billy Strings Goes Death Metal With Cryptopsy Collaboration
Michigan bluegrass aficionado Billy Strings has showcased his diverse tastes and genre-shifting proficiency as part of a new collaboration with Canadian death metal outfit Cryptopsy. 32-year-old Strings – who scored his third No. 1 on the Bluesgrass Albums chart in 2024 with Highway Prayers – has long been a noted fan of some of the biggest names in the world of bluegrass and rock, though he's frequently indicated that his tastes skew a bit heavier as well. More from Billboard Tomorrowland 2025 Mainstage Destroyed by Fire Ahead of Festival Alison Krauss & Union Station, Billy Strings Lead 2025 IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards Nominees Ariana Grande Teases 'A Plan to Sing for You All Next Year': See What She Said That heaviness extends to Cryptopsy, the Montreal outfit who have been an active presence in the death metal scene since their formation in 1988. Six years after their founding, the future Juno Award-winners released their debut album, Blasphemy Made Flesh, with the record this year receiving the reissue treatment. As part of said reissue (which arrives on July 18), the album also includes live cuts and a special eight-and-a-half minute medley dubbed 'Blasphemy Made Fresh,' which includes guest vocalists such as Shadow of Intent's Ben Duerr, Stabbing's Bridget Lynch, Emasculator's Mallika Sundaramurthy, and others, while Strings adds his own guitar solo. 'We are super stoked at how excited each guest was to be part of this unique homage to Cryptopsy's first classic,' vocalist Matt McGachy said in a statement. 'We are beyond proud of this medley and are so happy that we can now share it with our new and old fans.' Per a press release, the medley 'sharpens and steels the album's many surgical hooks and pathological rhythms,' with Strings also sharing his rabid excitement at being involved in the process. 'Cryptopsy is my all-time favorite death metal band,' he explained, before recalling a night in 2023 when both acts performed in Boise, ID. Feeling 'bummed' at the unfortunate schedule clash, Strings leaned on the Blasphemy Made Flesh track 'Open Face Surgery' and gifted the group a cake that said 'Open Cake Surgery.'' A video of the group devouring the cake later made its way onto social media – much to Strings' delight. 'It blew my mind!' he explained. 'I was just so happy I could at least pay my respects in the form of frosting and that they didn't think I was a total weirdo.' 'It was such a huge honor for me to add this guitar solo to this insane medley by my favorite death metal band,' he added in a post shared to social media. 'This is like a dream come true for me and I want to thank the band for having me on it.' The release of the Cryptopsy medley is the latest addition to a month of ups and downs for Strings, who on Wednesday (July 16) received multiple nominations for the 2025 IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards – including entertainer and album of the year. In late June, the musician revealed during a performance in Lexington, KY, that his mother had passed away just hours earlier. 'It was my decision to carry on with tonight's show because that's what my mom would have wanted me to do,' he told the crowd. 'The reason I decided not to go home and be with my family right now is because I already am.' Listen to Cryptopsy's 'Blasphemy Made Fresh' below.

A Masterclass In Brand Building: The Importance Of Immersive, Owned Content
Andrew Faridani, President and CEO at BreezeMaxWeb. There's no denying that tequila is having a moment. The celebrity playbook has been followed to the letter: Launch a premium bottle, wrap it in a sleek label and let personal brand equity drive initial sales. Clooney did it with Casamigos, Jordan followed with Cincoro and The Rock pushed Teremana to impressive numbers in record time. But the category is getting crowded, and smart marketers know that being "celebrity-backed" is no longer a differentiator. That's where Naked Diablo comes in. This isn't just another tequila brand with a famous face. It's a company taking one of the boldest and most unconventional steps ever seen in spirits marketing: launching a reality TV series to tell its origin story. This move is sure to intrigue and inspire marketers and business professionals alike. The show is a strategic bet that blends entertainment, branding and business in a way few others have attempted, certainly not in the spirits space. Rather than just a vanity project or passive PR stunt, it's an owned content asset designed to drive long-term equity and cultural relevance. From a marketing standpoint, it's brilliant. While Naked Diablo may be the first tequila brand to take this route, it's worth noting that other brands have found success with similar immersive approaches. Red Bull, for instance, launched its own media house and produced everything from extreme sports documentaries to the Stratos space jump. Or consider Dove's Real Beauty Sketches campaign, which felt more like a short documentary exploring women's self-perceptions than an ad. Even in spirits, Hennessy's "Never Stop. Never Settle." docuseries highlighted real-life changemakers to connect with audiences on a deeper level. These examples demonstrate how immersive content strategies can create brand worlds that extend far beyond traditional advertisements. Most brands primarily rely on social media, influencer marketing and e-commerce funnels to connect with consumers. Those work, but only to a point. The problem is attention. Everyone's fighting for the same impressions across the same platforms, with diminishing returns. What Naked Diablo is doing—and what the other brands I've mentioned (and others) have done—is flipping the script. They're not advertising "around" content. They're becoming the content. Think about the leverage. Streaming a show means global distribution. It creates a visual and emotional story arc that positions the brand not just as a premium spirit but as a movement built on grit, ambition and international reach. You're not being sold to, you're being invited to watch a company grow in real time. That's more than marketing. That's immersion. From a performance standpoint, an immersive content approach gives a brand an incredibly rich ecosystem for engagement wherein you can control the messaging, the visuals and the narrative pacing. More importantly, in some cases, this strategy allows the brand to own the first-party data that comes with viewership: geography, age ranges, episode drop-offs, rewatch rates and share metrics. That's data that most brands pay platforms to rent. There are also psychological benefits. Consumable, behind-the-scenes content gets people emotionally invested. In Naked Diablo's case, the reality TV approach shows the human side of the founders, making them relatable and easier to trust. It lets viewers see the struggles and hard work behind the brand, building a story of resilience and drive. When people buy a bottle after watching the show, they're not just buying tequila—they're buying into a story, a journey and a mindset. That creates loyalists, not just customers. If you're building a brand in a competitive category, ask yourself this: Would I rather be another ad in the feed or the brand everyone's talking about? What Does This Mean For Other Brands? Not every brand needs to launch a full-scale reality TV show, but every brand can think about how to "become the content" in its own way. For instance, you could build a mini-documentary series about your founding story featuring team members and real customer experiences to create emotional connection and trust. Another approach is to host a regular live show or podcast where you (and, in turn, your brand) share honest insights about the industry, talk openly about challenges and discuss market trends. Doing this positions your brand as a trusted source of knowledge rather than just another company trying to sell something. Brands can also create interactive video experiences where viewers make choices within the story. While Netflix pioneered this with "Bandersnatch" in entertainment, similar interactive formats can be adapted for product education or customer onboarding to increase engagement. Additionally, some brands develop their own media platforms or newsletters that become essential reading within their niche, similar to how Morning Brew became a $75 million brand by focusing purely on content value first. The key takeaway is that brands moving beyond interruptive ads to become the content people seek out will build deeper loyalty, stronger data streams and long-term brand equity.
