Park City Song Summit

PARK CITY, Utah (CelebrityAccess) – The Park City Song Summit (PCSS) is set to debut in Park City, UT, September 7 – 10, 2022. The description on the official website states:

“By design, it creates an environment for musicians to share, learn and recharge their passion for music through community and the power of song. Unlike any other music gathering, The Song Summit is also a place to examine the struggles and breakthroughs that artists face on their creative journey. The PCSS combines the singer-songwriter format of an Unplugged platform with a MasterClass style of information exchange through Labs. Song Summit is not a music festival. But, just because it is not a “festival” doesn’t mean there won’t be live music performances. Bands and artists will play intimate shows, share stories at songwriter in the rounds, busk on the street, flash jam in surprise locations, and perform small and big stage concerts.”

The inaugural PCSS will feature four days of artist experiences, workshops, labs, and live performances founded by musician, Park City resident, and former attorney Ben Anderson. The Summit rose from the ashes of the Park City Songwriter Festival, canceled in 2020, prompting Anderson to reimagine the event.

“We really took a shot at re-envisioning, rebranding, and really expanding on the concepts of the power and myth of song,” Anderson told the Daily Utah Chronicle in April. “How does a song change our lives? How does a song spawn careers? How does a song stick with us in good times, bad times? We really want to explore and go back into the song, and how powerful that can be, but how mysterious it is as well.”

Anderson continued, “Creating and providing funding to grow Park City Song Summit was in part my love for song but to an even larger degree, to provide awareness and resources for those who may also be challenged by trauma, addiction, and mental health issues. Our Labs are meant to be a safe space for artists and audiences alike to be inspired by others who have faced these challenges and to explore the ever-relevant issues of inclusivity, opportunity, and equality.”

Live performances for PCSS for 2022 will take place at exclusive venues on Main Street Park City, with a lineup that includes Anders Osborne, Cedric Burnside, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, Elvin Bishop, Father John Misty, Joe Pug, Katie Pruitt, Rising Appalachia, Josh Ritter, Bonny Light Horseman, and David Ramirez.

Programming for 2022 will also include song summit labs where open format discussions will examine the art of songwriting, and songwriter rounds, featuring artist-led discussions from speakers like Fred Armisen (Actor/Comedian/Musician), Jason Isbell (Singer/Songwriter/Musician), Jay Sweet (Newport Folk Festival Executive Director/Producer), Anthony Mason (CBS Senior Culture and National Correspondent), Mavis Staples, Margo Price, Andrew Bird (Musician/YouTube Series), Celisse (Author/Multi-Instrumentalist/Singer/Songwriter), Peter Shapiro (Concert Promoter/Author), and more.
