For the first time this weekend Hazelden Addiction Treatment Center will be hosting a music festival. On Saturday, the treatment facility will open its grounds to hold a chemical free music festival called Hazelfest.

The Morning Show's Jill Riley and Steve Seel spoke to the organizer of the event, Nathan Wardwell, and musical guest Johnny Solomon, of Communist Daughter. They discussed the decision to start the event, what it means to them, and the culture of being a clean and sober musician in Minnesota.
