TRUST. LOVE. COMMUNITY. THE RIFT.
Symmetry Music & Arts Festival - where do I even begin? A year of work, blood, sweat, tears, laughs, and connecting. From putting on a whole tour, to coordinating a festival, to my first art installation, to my favorite set I’ve ever played - I really did everything I could and then more.
Thank you to everyone who trusted me and our team to deliver an amazing event. It means everything to me for all of you to believe in this project enough to step away from the world for a few days and immerse yourself in this creation.
Thank you to everyone who has supported my music project as The Boatman. I feel like I am finally really getting into the meaning of this project and expressing it fully. If you were at my set at Symmetry, then you know. You got to see the most authentic expression of this project to date.
Now for some callouts.
Thank you for believing in this little community of ours. Without your vision and your network I don’t know where we would be, but it certainly wouldn’t be here. And thank you for trusting me at every step, for trusting my judgment, my skills, my vision and my values. I feel that we are on a powerful journey of growth together.
Thank you and for being my rocks. For being in my corner at all times. For keeping me fueled, charged, fed, heard, and healthy. Your tender care and your love are the most powerful forms of magic I have ever encountered in my life.
Thank you for embarking on a journey into the unknown and trusting that I’d have your back. Not only did we make an incredibly iconic art installation together, but you led an amazing art team that pulled through in a way that everyone couldn’t ignore.
Thank you .alterum for pulling up to a festival you could’ve easily just attended and busting your ass to help make it happen. Whether it was body doubling, helping security, or making a 6am trip to Des Moines on far too little sleep.
Thank you to all of my friends who traveled from far and wide to come experience the magic I’ve been investing my soul into. You know who you are, and there are too many of you to name.
See you all in The Rift
