The Park City Song Summit is a new festival that prioritizes mental health among artists like Nathaniel Rateliff and fans.
desert sun fading behind the Wasatch Mountains of Utah, My Morning Jacket launched into “I’m Amazed” during their set at the Park City Song Summit.In a time when America finds itself at another existential crossroads, James’ lyric summed up what many at the PCSS had been thinking, both about the country and about themselves: Where to from here?
“It means a lot that we can now be open about depression, ‘I’m bipolar,’ ‘I’m schizophrenic,’ ‘I’m scared,’ ‘I’m afraid,’” Osborne says. “It’s a shift in consciousness and I’m just blessed to be part of something that is shifting.” The annual gathering is a beacon of steadfast hope and positive change within a professional landscape often leaving a lot to be desired when it comes to nurturing one another through trauma and addiction.
Beyond the stellar lineup and a focus on wellness activities onsite, the essence of PCSS resides in the ongoing conversations from both sides of the microphone. With numerous “labs” held throughout the weekend, topics ranged from “Dignity in Dialogue: Embracing Artistic Freedom & Rethinking ‘Cancel Culture’” to “Beats & Bytes: Navigating Creativity in the Age of AI.”
“It’s painful and it doesn’t really get any less painful for me,” Clinch says of his late friend. “My wife and I are both friends with his daughter, Nico, and Nico’s mom. They’ll come hang out in Asbury Park for a long weekend. And it makes me sad because Shannon would really have appreciated that.”The next building over from Clinch is the lobby of the Pendry Hotel.
“Rock & roll can be dangerous, but suffering is optional. There’s a temptation to believe kick-ass, braggadocious rock is derived from angst,” she says. “And I patently disagree. We can be more creative and imaginative within the lyrical landscape. Let’s dig deeper. Let’s find something that’s truer than just the surface of what it looks like to be kick-ass.”
