Every year around this time, a few folks from our team hit the road for the summer festival circuit. While they certainly enjoy the excitement of new places and days filled with music, it’s not why they go. They go because of people. More specifically, they go because they believe in bringing TWLOHA’s message of hope and help to people all over.
Perhaps you’ve seen them at Warped Tour or a festival near your hometown. You likely had conversations with them about music, life, and community. You may have showed them your TWLOHA-inspired tattoo. You may have shared your #FearsVsDreams. Maybe you bought your first TWLOHA shirt from one of them. As summer kicks into high gear and you’re counting down to your favorite festival, here’s a little introduction to the friendly faces you’ll find under the TWLOHA tent this summer.

Although getting to meet Jason and Chad in Australia this year. Would be awesome to meet/see some Twokowskis out here again soon. The last time I met Jaime was the very first time TWLOHA came to Australia which was a LONG time ago
