Live in the Saddle |

Live in the Saddle is an organic, grassroots and highly collaborative community musical project running since
2011. Originating in the humble music basement of my old home, The Saddle, as it is affectionately known,
covers entire albums from start to finish and has involved 140 musicians and artists across 16 shows.

The Saddle is an inclusive playground for talented musicians and artists to gather and generously share the
gift of music with everyone who crosses its path. Everyone gives to the other and for the good and joy of the
collective.
