Episode 1: Kenny Hatt — The Story Behind Pine Ridge Music Festival

In the first episode of Set Break, Chad sits down with Kenny Hatt, founder of Pine Ridge Music Festival and longtime friend and collaborator. They talk about how Pine Ridge got its start, what it takes to build a festival from the ground up, and the realities of creating something meaningful in the live music world. From early ideas to real challenges, this conversation dives into the story behind the festival and the people who brought it to life. This is a laid-back, honest conversation about music, community, and the work that happens behind the scenes. The conversation happened the day after Pine Ridge 2025 in a garage on the property. The conversation also features Brittney Coleman another key part of the early festival organization.  Pine Ridge 2026 is slated to happen again Memorial Day weekend, May 21st-24th.
