Taking care of artists at Mile of Music

[groovy music]

Ian Thomson: Mile of Music is very artist focused and community forward. We pride ourselves on taking care of the artists 100% from the time we initially make contact with them all the way through ’til when they leave.

Jake Cochran: From the moment we booked it to getting on site, we feel really taken care of. The logistics are super smooth and easy. There’s a sign-up sheet for a free massage. There’s amazing food ready for us anytime we want it. It’s a pretty prime place to be.

Mac Inglis: There’s an artist care program here that includes things ranging from dental care to chiropractic care to massages to tons of free food.

Jeff Gorman: Getting some hearing tests, even being able to get your hair cut, those are things that you just never really have access to at a lot of festivals.

Regina Strayhorn: We enthusiastically signed up for a dental appointment.

Sydney Shepherd: Yeah, we’re all going to the dentist tomorrow.

Regina: And massage therapy.

Vanessa Wilbourn: I had my ears tested today. She is not going deaf, grateful for that.

Max Niemann: I went to the chiropractor earlier on the company dime. We’re playing with house money tonight, baby.

Mike Savino: I’d say we feel very appreciated here.

Josiah Wolf: That’s what I had heard about the festival before. That’s all I heard about it was free health care. My friend who was here, he’s like, “Oh, man, you could get a massage and your eyes checked and your ears, get custom earplugs.” I’m like, “Oh, that sounds nice.”

Tracy McNeil: We got our hearing checked today, and we got, like, free molded ear plugs that are gonna be shipped out to us. It’s really cool, it’s really cool. And they really look after you. It’s such a great vibe.
