With this year being my first time attending Tampa's Homegrown Gasparilla Music Fest, I was blown away by the energy and raw talent. GMF did not fall short in bringing some heat for this year's 2022 lineup. Rocking the big stage, they had artists like Black Pumas, The Aces, Peach Tree Rascals and my personal favorite, GroupLove. With the crowd chanting every single word to their top songs, these artists were able to unite the community as a whole. Dancing and singing with the strangers right next to you brought a sense of peace and serenity. An indescribable feeling you can never forget. Not only did GMF bring these top artists but they also brought in some hidden local talent. Before the headliners I got the chance to watch some local bands like Rohna, Treis and friends, DBMK and Mak who put their heart and soul into their performances. GMF 2022 was most definitely one for the books and we can't wait to see what they bring next year.
