This week on No Simple Road, we welcome the vibrant souls behind Mojo Fest 2026 — the members of Bodhi Mojo — for a conversation that feels less like an interview and more like sitting around a late-night campfire with family. Aaron, Mel, and Apple dive deep with the band about how a dream, a community, and a whole lot of heart turned into one of the most exciting grassroots gatherings in Oregon.

We explore the origin story of Mojo Fest, the intention behind creating a space where music, art, connection, and transformation can all coexist, and the realities of building an independent festival from the ground up. Bodhi Mojo shares what it takes to move from playing stages to building them — literally and figuratively — and how collaboration fuels both their music and their vision.

The conversation flows through festival culture, the power of intentional gatherings, and the magic that happens when artists and audiences dissolve into one shared experience. We talk about the band’s creative process, their evolution as musicians, and why events like Mojo Fest matter now more than ever in a world hungry for authentic connection.

Like all things No Simple Road, this episode goes beyond logistics and lineups. It’s about purpose, community-building, and following the spark that says yes even when the path isn’t clear. If you’ve ever felt the pull of live music as medicine, festival grounds as sacred space, or strangers becoming family under the lights, this conversation will resonate deeply.
