PARK CITY, Utah. — The Park City Song Summit is not a music festival. It’s a musical event that includes “Labs” and “Shows.” It’s like a TED Talk combined with live music. This inaugural summit will host “Shows,” like live musical acts from Gary Clark Jr., and “Labs,” like presentations from famous Grateful Dead photographer Jay Blakesberg.

Unlike any other music gathering, the Park City Song Summit is also a place to examine the creative journey of artists. For example, Saturday Night Live alumni,
Fred Armisen will be performing “Comedy for Musicians, But Everyone is Welcome,” where he blends comedy and history with music.

Even, Olympic gold medalist snowboarder, Shaun White will be featured in the Park City Song Summit. White and Rich Roll will be recording “The Exponential Power of Music on Performance” for the Rich Roll Podcast.
