Joe Bastianich, Not Content With Food Stardom, Dabbles in the Music Industry

Music festivals — including Coachella and Electric Daisy Carnival — haven't been this popular since the hippie days of the 1960s. Now gearing up to add another to the growing roster of festival dates is none other than vintner, Eataly-owner, massive star in Italy, and Mario Batali partner-in-crime Joe Bastianich.
