SCHEDULE

The event starts Friday Night with a “Live To Vinyl” recording session featuring a surprise  artist. We electroplate the lacquers that night and get records pressed at The Vinyl Lab the very next day. Every attendee gets a vinyl record & T-shirt!

Our 2023 Summit Saturday Night Listening Party was
John Cougar Mellencamp's "American Fool" with special guest Mark Stebbeds, who engineered the album.

We listened to "American Fool" in its entirety and Mark Stebbeds joined us for a live Q&A about the recording sessions.

This is an exclusive event, only 60 people can attend the Summit and requires registration in advance.

The Summit always sells out, so sign up soon!
