A message from AR
@ssbdfest is a grassroots independent festival that is put on by a family of friends who are all creators with a love for music, art, magic and fun. We want to welcome these artist & teams into this circle of wonder so they can give that back to the attendees on stage. The attendees come for the artists but comeback for the love, joy and excitement that makes this place so special.
This was the mission statement I wrote to set the ethos & the tone for my team this year. I stand behind every word. I continue to be blown away by the creativity, the heart, the efforts and soul that goes into each and every piece of this festival. From the moment I stepped into this festival 3 year ago, I felt a welcomed belonging and each year these bonds grow tighter and more beautiful relationships blossom.
2024 came with a new set of challenges, I spared you the photos of a swollen blistered fire ant bitten foot, which led to an offsite trip to urgent care. A lot of key learnings to continue growing in a position of leadership. Empowering & entrusting my team. Knowing when enough is enough.
I feel so in love with this place, this space, and all the people who create it. I will continue to challenge us to make it better for them, but more importantly for us. The magic we make permeates these grounds and leaves an extra sparkle in all of the attendees eyes. Our artists always remind me how things feel different here. The family is felt, SSBD is a warm hug, uncontrollable laughter, exponential growth & I hope we always get to do it with passion.
Let’s do it exactly the same next year, but totally different.
