When COVID nearly shuttered the live events industry, Casey and Christy did not let it stop them. The female entrepreneur duo had to be nimble and innovative, revising their business model to fit the new industry normal. In doing so, they brought the first socially distanced music festival to the U.S. this Spring, and the Upstate’s first drive-in concert to Greenville in June.
