Savannah is a concert and creative photographer originally from Tampa, FL, who made Wrangell her home in the spring of 2025. She began photographing shows in the underground hardcore scene where music, emotion, and authenticity collide in their rawest form. Drawn to the scene’s DIY spirit and underdog mindset, she found inspiration in the way people came together with limited resources but limitless passion to create something powerful. Much like the scene that shaped her, she believes even the smallest spaces can hold incredible energy and heart. She’s excited to help foster that same sense of connection within the Wrangell community through Milk Run Music Fest as a celebration of unity, creativity, and coming together for something truly special.

Rolland is grateful to see and be part of a group that’s bringing people together to create and enjoy something special here at home.
