WHO
ARE
WE
A SANCTUARY
FOR THE MAKERS,
CREATORS,
gearheads, and
tone chasers
Where enthusiasts, beginners, hobbyists, and professionals come together in one place to spend time with the brands that build the sound. Where the instrument is the center of the universe, and the stories behind every piece of gear matter just as much as the artist on stage. A hands-on experience built inside the core of music fandom: festivals, cruises, and all other live music events that give fans the chance to touch, play, and fall in love with the instruments they usually only see from the crowd.
In a world sprinting towards the digital age, music retail has become dehumanized. TME exists to put emotion, identity, and human connection back in the chain. A commerce-enabled activation designed to inspire. When inspiration comes first, everything else becomes a byproduct.
People crave human connection
and full immersion
WHAT
we
do
We've created a traveling, festival-ready, immersive environment where attendees can connect directly with the brands and makers who bring music to life, allowing them to fall in love with the gear they typically only see from the crowd. A place where fans of all ages can pick up a guitar, plug into an amp, sit behind real drum kits, turn knobs on synthesizers, jam out on keys, and feel what it's like to be in a band. All while being surrounded by real industry pros who know how to coach, hype, and create unforgettable moments.
A Full Band Ecosystem with All-Access Pass Energy
At a Music festival, the instrument is the real connective tissue. We believe music festivals are the key because instruments sit at the core of the fan experience, and nobody has told that story at scale. We built The Music Experience to do exactly that at the highest moment of inspiration.

The underlying intention is to ignite, or re-ignite, the power and passion of playing music. Squiggy and his crew get it!

The Music Experience. I’m so fortunate to see this thing in action every year aboard Shiprocked. Seeing the team pour their passion into the gospel of music is beyond inspiring. From the guy who “played a little back in the day” to the kid laying his hands on a guitar for the first time, the Music Experience is a conduit connecting the fellowship and love of the art to the physical side of actually holding an instrument. To see it first hand is really special, y’all are out there truly carrying the banner! Thank you.

The Music Experience connects musicians and fans with our brands in a way that traditional marketing simply can’t, creating unforgettable, hands-on moments with the instruments their heroes play. At Ibanez Guitars and TAMA Drums, we’re proud to have believed in Squiggy’s vision from the beginning, and the partnerships and friendships we’ve built through TME are truly invaluable.

"The Music Experience understands something most partners miss: the most meaningful brand connections happen when people are fully immersed in the music and culture they love. Across many of our brands, we've seen The Music Experience create memories that turn consumer moments into enduring relationships."
