In episode 36 of Music Festivals Podcast, we're setting sail on the voyage of a lifetime — a one-of-a-kind music festival experience that takes select music enthusiasts , side-by-side with their favorite artists on an adventure through St. Vincent and the Grenadine Islands.
I’m talking with Ashley Hart, one of the co-founders, along with Anders Beck (member of Greensky Bluegrass and Rhythm & Sails Music Director) and Damian Quigley, (Co-Founder & Brand Director) to dive into how this intimate, floating festival came to life.
Picture this: 7 catamarans (all 42-50 footers), a 1:1 staff-to-guest ratio, and daily live jams and the unbelievable and untouched beauty of the islands of St. Vincent, Bequia, Mustique. It's equal parts festival, sailing expedition, soul-recharging retreat and one hell of a party that is sure to create life-long friends along the way. Their sixth voyage, set to depart from St. Vincent this May is nearly sold out!
We’ll get into the origin story of Rhythm & Sails, which all began with a rainy-day jam session in Maru that sparked a whole new kind of festival experience. You’ll hear what it’s like to live on the water alongside artists, crew, and fellow music lovers, and how the team curates truly personalized experiences for every guest — from hands-on sailing lessons to daily chef-prepared meals.
After doing this interview, I am completely sold on experiencing the magic of this one-of-kid trip for myself! Trust me on this — make sure to watch the episode on YouTube — the videography and photos they shared with me are absolutely stunning!

The Polyrhythmics are an eight-piece instrumental funk band from Seattle, Washington, formed in late 2010 by guitarist Ben Bloom and drummer Grant Schroff. They blend elements of funk, rock, jazz, Afrobeat, and more, creating a unique sound that originated in Seattle's underground deep funk scene.
I was able ton shoot and produce their full set, which was preformed live on Saturday night as a headlining performance at the 2025 Whippersnap Music & Arts Festival at the Florida Sand Music Ranch in Brooksville, Florida.
