It’s been said that music plays a unique role in the human experience. Music is often described as a universal language, transcending linguistic and cultural boundaries, and for decades, studies have shown the emotional, cognitive, social, and physiological benefits of musical engagement, with the creation of music being one of the oldest forms of creativity and self-expression.

It’s also been said that only one thing is better than music….Live Music. On episode 54 of Bend Magazine’s The Circling Podcast, I have the privilege of sitting down with Stacy Koff, one of the original founding members of the 4 Peaks Music Festival. 4 peaks is Central Oregon’s longest-running and only multi-day music and family camping festival, held annually over the summer solstice weekend in Bend, Oregon.

Stacy shares her personal history with live music, the impact music festivals have had on her life, and her vision for keeping 4 Peaks intimate and family-friendly while continuing to attract top talent from across the country. With a passion for creating community around music, Stacy and her team of over 200 volunteers plan and execute one of the most authentic and enjoyable music festivals in Central Oregon.
