“We’re checking out the themes of luck, gratitude, and fortune via our artwork installations. We also felt the bulk of the Brite Wintertime lineup must showcase talent with roots below in Cleveland and from close to Ohio,” Hornack reported in a press launch. “We’re particularly fortunate to complement that roster with the indie-rock band, Colony Home.”
