  • Group Therapy Through Song with Sun Blush | Feel Fest Finale

    Group Therapy Through Song with Sun Blush | Feel Fest Finale
    Oct 20 2026

    In the final special edition episode of our Feel Fest series, KT sits down with Madi Laughlin, singer songwriter, textile artist, poet, and one of the creative hearts behind Sun Blush.


    Sun Blush was born in 2024 when two friends came home to the prairie within a day of each other, one from New Orleans and one from Switzerland, ready to make something together. What grew from that reunion is a band built to honor the feminine spirit of the Midwest: the beauty, the weirdness, the intelligence, and the emotion that rarely gets a stage.


    Madi shares how Sun Blush found its way to the very first Feel Fest in Hutchinson, why music can carry truth past the walls we build around ourselves, and why their shows feel like group therapy, where everyone walks out a little lighter and a little more undone. She also offers a beautiful reminder for anyone sitting on a song, a sketch, or a dream they are afraid to share: create in play, and save the critic for later.


    Catch Sun Blush live at Kirby’s on November 15th, and find their live performances on YouTube and Madi’s SoundCloud through the links in their Instagram bio.

  • Just Bring Yourself: A Look at Feel Fest with Kenna Dowling

    Just Bring Yourself: A Look at Feel Fest with Kenna Dowling
    Sep 30 2026

    What if taking care of your mental health felt less like a chore and more like a block party?

    In this special edition of The Quest for New Inspiration, KT sits down with Kenna Dowling, one of the heads of Feel Fest. It's a free, two-day community festival in Hutchinson focused on mental health and grief support, and it's packed with music, art, and connection.

    Kenna shares how a chance conversation at the library turned into her "accidental" leadership role. She also talks about what surprised her while planning her first event and why she believes Hutchinson has amazing resources that more people deserve to know about.

    Here's what's happening:

    • October 9: Moonlight Dance at the Farmers Market with live music from Sun Blush, wellness drinks, giant Jenga, and cornhole
    • October 10: Run of Remembrance in the morning (scholarships available), then an afternoon block party with 19 workshops, including cookie decorating, a Minecraft server, poetry, comedy, and fire trucks
    • Evening: The Wisdom of Trauma at the Fox Theater, then Coco and closing ceremonies

    Everything is free except the run. Bring your family, bring your friends, or just bring yourself.

    Sep 17 2026
    In this special edition of The Quest for New Inspiration, KT Gates sits down with Samantha Canales, grief counselor at New Beginnings and event director of Feel Fest, a free two-day festival coming to Hutchinson on October 9th and 10th. Sam walks through what the weekend actually looks like: Friday's Moonlight Dance with live music from Sun Blush and DJ Gabby G, a Saturday morning run/walk through Carey Park where participants carry a photo of who they're honoring to the finish line, and an afternoon of free workshops and resources centered around the Fox Theater, closing with a screening of The Wisdom of Trauma and a community candle lighting followed by Coco. Sam also gets into why the event is free, how it came together, and the personal loss that started it. For workshop schedules, scholarships, and ways to volunteer or donate, visit www.feelfest.org.
