Over the course of my last 10 years of musical adventures, some of my most memorable moments of all have taken place within conversations… outside venues, on street corners, in workshops and masterclasses, talking with friends and fellow enthusiasts… about how the language of music works, and how best to play with it.
And now, in 2025, for the first time ever, I’m building and presenting a full program of musical exploration across four days and nights, in the iconic green pastures of Tarrytown, NY (an hour’s drive from New York), this August 11th-14th.
Whatever kind of musician you are – a singer, instrumentalist, songwriter, arranger, producer, mixer, world-builder, or simply a curious human being – consider yourself absolutely welcome.
I’m so excited to take you DEEP inside my brain, and my ideas – to spend some time diving beyond the surface and into the atoms of music, creativity and the magic of what makes us human. From harmony, rhythm, performance, improvisation, composition, songwriting, recording, mixing, to far beyond: Accessing keys that don’t exist… Ancient rhythms that groove… Communal Audience Choir playground… Creative block melters… Atmos experimentation… The music industry… Survival in the wild… and so much more.
Most excitingly of all, I am assembling a star-studded cast of some of my most inspiring comrades who will be joining the fray as instructors, mentors and performers, including some of my most important teachers in my musical development. It’s really going to be special.
It’s a whole new adventure for me, and I’m stratospherically excited about it.
I cannot wait to see you there.
Love,
JC
