Home Sweet WayHome!

Wayhome 2016 Secret Revealed?
So.. As I was browsing the World Wide Web tonight and came across something rather odd when I was googling Wayhome 2016…Now I know last year Wayhome had a pretty cool cryptic way of letting people know about the festival. Is this possibly a way they are leaking there own headliner, or maybe just a hint?
Now take a closer look…at the //Young Money, Cash Money. Now I have been so deep in the country world the last couple years but I do know that is the name of Lil’ Wayne’s company that just so happens to have Drake under its banner.
So….Could Drake and Lil’Wayne be headed to Wayhome 2016? Things have been quiet so heck why not stir the pot and start putting our thinking caps on to who is going to rock the Wayhome stages in 2016. What do you think? Are we reaching? Or do you think this has any merit? Let us know what you think.

WayHome Day 2: Dear Rouge
You must know that we, here at Sound Check, are huge fans of Dear Rouge and I was thrilled to finally get to see them live at WayHome for myself. There was a great crowd for this amazing Canadian act and the rain that came, didn’t dampen any spirits.
WayHome Day 3 Highlights
WayHome Day 3
WayHome Day 3 was hot and sunny. This was the day I knew I was going to have issues covering everything I wanted to see. In the end, I didn’t get to see everyone I really wanted to, but a girl’s only human and food, water and rest are absolute requirements on a weekend like this one.
Kendrick Lamar Headlines Day 2 of WayHome Arts and Music Festival
Today I attended my first hip hop show. Thanks to WayHome and thank you Kendrick Lamar, tonight, you touched me and I wasn’t alone. The 30,000 plus crowd who gathered for the show were feeling it too. We waited patiently for Kendrick to take the stage and take it, he did. The crowd was putty in his hands from the second he stepped on stage, and he knew it.
