In episode 36 of Music Festivals Podcast, we're setting sail on the voyage of a lifetime — a one-of-a-kind music festival experience that takes select music enthusiasts , side-by-side with their favorite artists on an adventure through St. Vincent and the Grenadine Islands.
I’m talking with Ashley Hart, one of the co-founders, along with Anders Beck (member of Greensky Bluegrass and Rhythm & Sails Music Director) and Damian Quigley, (Co-Founder & Brand Director) to dive into how Rhythm & Sails, an intimate, floating festival came to life.
Picture this: 7 catamarans (all 42-50 footers), a 1:1 staff-to-guest ratio, and daily live jams and the unbelievable and untouched beauty of the islands of St. Vincent, Bequia, Mustique. It's equal parts festival, sailing expedition, soul-recharging retreat and one hell of a party that is sure to create life-long friends along the way. Their sixth voyage, set to depart from St. Vincent this May is nearly sold out!
After doing this interview, I am completely sold on experiencing the magic of this one-of-kid trip for myself! Trust me on this — make sure to watch the episode on YouTube — the videography and photos they shared with me are absolutely stunning!
