We got the scoop on CBC's inaugural music festival, happening this weekend at Toronto's up-and-coming festival venue Echo Beach.

TORO chats with Joel, Ryan and Mike from Walk Off The Earth to about saving money, making great YouTube videos and more.

"I do think we have an optimistic view on life, and I hope you can hear that in the music."

"The first couple times I experienced that, it was astounding. I finally realized I could make that connection, and as I went on I wanted to see how strong it could be."

"Wine is to drink. It’s not like a record, you can’t just keep it around forever. I have many bottles in my house and I do plan to drink them all." 

"An interview shouldn’t be about promoting a product as much as showing who an artist really is. That is often missing in music journalism."
