Song Summit Sets Artist and Culinary Lineup Featuring Tribute to Bobby Weir, Jim James Acoustic Set and More
Song Summit has unveiled the musical participants and daily schedules for its August 27-29, 2026, gathering taking place in the heart of Park City, Utah. The impending event continues the mingling of food and music-focused entertainment with sweeping views of the Wasatch Range. This occasion has already been parsed into daily lineups, weaving a three-day schedule that draws on the senses.
According to Song Summit’s initial dispatch, participating musical artists include Jim James (acoustic), Dumpstaphunk, Sierra Hull, Steve Poltz, and a very special performance dubbed Mountain Jam: A Song Summit Collective, Eric Krasno, Patrick Hallahan (My Morning Jacket), Ivan Neville, Tony Hall, Ross James, Nicki Bluhm, Alex Koford, and special guests.
Drawing on the Grateful Dead currency, Aiko & Friends – Ace Back to Back: A Tribute to Bobby Weir will pull in artist participation from Holly Bowling, Nicki Bluhm, Eric Krasno, and Ross James.
According to the press release, “Song Summit will again use the Jim Santy Auditorium at Park City Library for its daytime programming, aka Song Summit Labs. The Song Summit Foundation will activate ‘Song Summit Village’ in Library Field as a free, open-to-the-public, community hub offering live music, wellness resources and vendors, craftmakers, and culinary activations.”
And, “Evenings will begin with ‘Summit Supper Club’ (intimate dinners featuring a chef and musician’s collaborative menu) at Le Depot Brasserie and end with double-header shows at The Marquis.” Featured chefs include Andrew Zimmern, Damaris Phillips, Sean Brock, Stephanie Izard, Gregory Gourdet, Nikki Dinki, and Patrick Hallahan.
“Song Summit is a living, breathing, evolving gathering of like-minded folks who hold music close to their hearts,” says Ben Anderson, Song Summit founder. “The feedback from last year’s event, which spotlighted a few of our favorite chefs and their creative processes alongside some of the most innovative musical talents of our time, was overwhelmingly positive, so we’re leaning even more in that direction in 2026. The industry evolves as do we; I hope you’ll join us for what will surely be a feast for the senses in 2026.”
Highlighting the kinship between songs and food, Summit Labs further the “interconnectedness between music and the culinary arts.”Therefore, “Festival attendees can participate in discussions that dissect, illuminate, and interrogate the art of being a human while being an inclusive space to talk about mental health, representation, social equity, recovery, and more of the everyday, inner workings of musicians, songwriters, chefs, and public personalities we all know and love.”
