The Sound That Stays is a music festival rooted in the celebration and remembrance of loved ones lost too soon, raising funds for music education in the local community. 

​​​​

Following Max Engle’s passing in 2023, our family witnessed an outpouring of love & support from this community.  We wanted to create a space where others could feel that same connection, a space where music becomes medicine, and memories fuel us. ​With a lineup rooted in folk, Americana, outlaw country, bluegrass, and blues — some of Max’s favorite sounds — The Sound That Stays is about storytelling, connection, and honoring what matters.​

​​

Come for the music. Stay for the people.
Leave with something that lasts.
​

Thanks to our partners & sponsors!
