Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman:
On working with Echosmith: “They came to my office two years ago with acoustic guitars and I actually needed to find some girls to be role models for these girls coming to warped—I was trying to get Hayley from Paramore to come back but management will never let them come back. And Sydney walked in at 15 and I said ‘This is her, give her a couple of years,’ so I put them on half the tour and then immediately said they could stay on the whole tour. Sydney is a star.”
