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.

After a 30-year career as a trial lawyer, Park City Song Summit founder, Ben Anderson and his wife Paige moved to Park City from Cleveland in 2015. After starting the Park City Songwriters Festival in 2019, Anderson set out to create something different, the Park City Song Summit.

“We are redefining the live music experience by providing this environment for musicians and creatives to share, learn, and recharge their passion for music and creative arts through community and the power of song.” — Ben Anderson
