“It actually came from a conversation I was having with my girlfriend and Josh’s about what it’s like to be in the crowd at one of our shows,” vocalist Jeremy McKinnon said. “She told me that most people who come respond like its more than just a concert to them. It’s like the music is genuinely helping them.
“We were all throwing around ideas for a name that would mean something for not only our fans but for this genre of music as a whole, and I told the guys this story. It made us actually stop and think about what we really do see from the fans, and that’s 90-percent of the time that this music from most of the bands involved in this style of music makes them feel better about being alive. Thus we titled our festival Self Help, because at the end of the day, that’s what music’s all about.”
