From Retreat To Music Founders...

GREAT MUSIC CREATES A SPACE OF PERSONAL UNDERSTANDING AND REFLECTION. IT IS IN THIS SPACE THAT I CAN IDENTIFY MY PAIN AND THE POSSIBILITIES—ONE OF THE FEW PLACES I TRUST… THAT I AM FREE TO EXPLORE WHY I FEEL, HOW I FEEL, AND TO KNOW I’M CONNECTED. I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THE ARTISTS WHO CREATE THIS SPACE, AND I AM SO PASSIONATE ABOUT THE NEED TO ALLOW THESE STORIES TO BE TOLD SO WE MAY ALL USE THEM TO HELP LEARN WHO WE ARE. - JASON

WE’RE EXCITED AND HUMBLED FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTNER WITH MMC AND ROOTS ROCK REVIVAL, TO HELP IN OUR SMALL WAY TO BRING TOGETHER THE POTENTIAL THAT YOU HAVE WITH THE PASSION AND EXPERIENCE THAT ROOTS ROCK REVIVAL HAS TO OFFER.  WHEN WE WENT TO MMC LAST YEAR, WE WENT TO HAVE AN INTIMATE EXPERIENCE WITH A BAND THAT WE BELIEVE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST ARTISTS OF OUR GENERATION.  IT WAS PART OF OUR JOURNEY TO EXPERIENCE LIVE MUSIC ACROSS THE WORLD IN THE MOST CONNECTED WAYS WE COULD.   

WHAT WE ENDED UP GETTING WAS DIFFERENT THAN WE HAD ANTICIPATED, IN A BEAUTIFUL WAY THAT WE WANTED TO SHARE.  YES, THE PERFORMANCES WERE NOTHING SHORT OF BEAUTIFUL… THE SETTING WAS IDYLLIC, AND THE PEOPLE WERE ALL AMAZING… BUT THE PASSION THAT THE ARTISTS SHOWED FOR HELPING PEOPLE FIND THEIR VOICE WAS TRULY INSPIRING.  IT WAS A GORGEOUS COMBINATION OF ART, PASSION, TALENT, AND COMMUNITY.  

OUR GOAL IS TO HELP BRIDGE THE WIDE GAP BETWEEN INDEPENDENT ARTISTS WHO HAVE A VOICE THE WORLD NEEDS TO HEAR, AND THE CHALLENGING BUSINESS AND OBSTACLES OF THE INDUSTRY.  IF YOU CAN SHARE THAT PART OF YOURSELF WITH US, LET US HELP YOU SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD.  WRITE US AT RETREATTOMUSIC@GMAIL.COM AND TELL US ABOUT YOU!   

WITH LOVE AND APPRECIATION,
