Saddened to hear this 🥲

But grateful to the Des Moines Music Coalition for trusting and involving Hive in the planning of 80/35 the past several years. They are a dedicated and mighty board & crew, whose friendships and memories we'll forever cherish.

Support your local music organization/festival/venue. You never know when it will be the last visit xo
