Ivey comes out solo acoustic and opens with “Tomorrow People”, one of many zeitgeisty tunes from his great 2020 album Waiting Out the Storm (which Price produced.) The song wryly comments on modern problems by asking future folks about their nuclear threat level, virtual sex, and if they still blame shit they do on different colored people. Would Price make a guest appearance with Ivey? Modern music theorists who’ve been following the ascent of the couple’s careers over the past few years have reason to suspect the answer is yes. It was interesting to see the Song Summit put Ivey on stage here, with Price billed only to appear in two of the labs. Many music fans have probably come to know Ivey through collaborations with his budding superstar wife Margo Price, but the man is a talented singer/songwriter himself. Rockwell Cocktail Lounge & Music Hall is stacked with a bill of Jeremy Ivey, Celisse, and Warren Haynes. Jeremy Ivey and Margo Price join together onstage for a semi-secret team-up
Here follows a PopMatters special report on the best of what we saw go down in Park City, jumping around through time and space to hit the moments that made the biggest impressions.
The Song Summit format from Thursday to Saturday features “labs” in roughly one-hour blocks from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm each day, followed by evening performances at the clubs on Main Street. JASON ISBELL / Photo: Erika Goldring via IVPR Having Isbell cap off the opening night feels fitting since he and his wife Amanda Shires performed a noble service to help music fans feel more whole in 2020 when they streamed live jam sessions from their barn on a daily basis in heroic fashion during the earliest and loneliest days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Well known for his sobriety from drinking, Isbell notes that his song “What Have I Done to Help” was sparked by inspiration from a chocolate mushroom experience.Įxploring different concepts about how artists tap creativity and spirituality to make themselves feel whole becomes a running theme at Song Summit. “It’s kinda like whatever you can find, you take it and try to make a whole song out of it before you lose it or forget it,” Isbell says regarding the question of which comes first between music or lyrics.

The Summit had a loose theme billed around being “a place to examine the struggles and breakthroughs that artists face on their creative journey”, including issues ranging from drug addiction and mental health to creative challenges and the pressures of being in the spotlight. There have also been some new events with delayed debuts that have finally been able to spring to life, notably including the Park City Song Summit in the famed mountain town of Park City, Utah.Īdvertised as something like a cross between a mountain retreat for music fans and a South by Southwest-style event with insightful talks from artists and industry pros during the day followed by live performances in downtown clubs at night, the Song Summit delivered over four nights and three days from Wednesday, 7 September to Saturday, 10 September.
