MASTER TRAX is what we call our “Meet & Greets” with industry ‘masters’. Taking place within the framework of the TRAX PROGRAM, they are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for our program participants to hear from ROAD RECOVERY supporters and advocates within the music and entertainment industry.
These “ALL ACCESS” experiences provide something incredibly unique. They open eyes (and minds) to the possibilities and opportunities available to them by hearing first-hand from people who have not only lived what our young people are going through, but have thrived and succeeded in achieving their career goals.
Masters have included John Taylor, bassist from Duran Duran, Jon Anderson of YES, Dennis Leary, Smokey Robinson, Run DMC’s Darryl McDaniels, Henry Rollins, and many more.
Basically, our version of a field trip,
FIELD TRAX gets program participants to off-sites experiences such as live concerts, trips to the Met Opera, Def Jam Poetry readings, Broadway shows and many more cultural
experiential events.
These FIELD TRAX have a huge impact and are a key component of our TRAX PROGRAM because they expose young people to cultural events they ordinarily may not be able to afford or attend. Additionally, and perhaps most importantly, they allow them to experience the power, joy and thrill of performance and gives them permission to believe in the possibilities that art provides.
