Hey kids—Jarod here 🙂 (golf cart man lol).
As I sit here with feet that look like two blown-up latex gloves 😂, I can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of joy, gratitude & appreciation:)
We did it… Year 2 is officially in the books. 💫
After year one, I wasn't sure we could top it—but boy oh boy did y'all prove us wrong. 🥹 Between canceled headliners, looming storms and all the rest, this community showed us just how much you've got our backs… and for that, we’re eternally grateful. 🙏🏻🧡 Attendance was up 20–30% this year, and if Sunday hadn't threatened rain, I'm sure it would've been even more. The wild part? The first drops fell right as Yarn played their last note… Kismet. 💫
To our crew, performers, visual artists, vendors, volunteers & Gina/the incredible staff at the Red Mill - all we can say is thank you. We truly couldn't have done it without you.🙏🏻☺️
The world can be a cold place at times… but this weekend once again restored my faith in humanity & reminded me that all you really need is a little peace, love, and music… and the rest falls right into place:)
My cup is full. ☺️
The community we're building is something truly special. Love is real, and we've got to keep showing up for one another… we’re all we’ve got🧡
From Jonas and myself, all we can say is thank you. I’m honestly still a bit speechless. 🥹
We'll see y'all again at Soulstice, but until then, come hang with us at Pattenburg House this weekend for “The Days Between” - celebrating the life of Jerry Garcia and the music of the Grateful Dead. We're kicking things off Saturday with New Jersey's premier Grateful Dead tribute band, Diamond Eye Jack. If you've seen them, you already know:) If not, you're in for a special treat!!! 💀 ⚡️ 🌹
Come relive a little Soulstice with us, give us a squeeze, and enjoy another weekend of peacelovemusic ☮️❤️🎵
Until then, be easy on each other & most importantly yourselves… again, we’re all we’ve got…
With love,Jarod & Jonas/Team Soulstice
