On this episode of The Independent Musician podcast, host Mark Skoda interviews David Ritchey, Founder and CEO of Deafstock.

​

David Ritchey, a passionate advocate for inclusivity in music and art, founded the Deafstock Music & Art Festival to bridge the gap between the Deaf and hearing communities. Inspired by the idea of Woodstock and frustrated by the lack of accessibility at traditional events, David envisioned a festival where everyone could enjoy music and art together for all walks of life. 

​

With the inaugural event set for April 2025, Deafstock aims to create a vibrant, inclusive environment. David and his dedicated team have worked tirelessly to bring this vision to life, transforming a spacious park into a celebration of music and art for all. Join us as we break down barriers and foster unity through the power of creativity.
