THANK YOU
to all the guys who came down to Bisbee this past weekend and to the venues that hosted us, to ION Magazine and all our sponsors and partners, to Avery who kept me together, to Martin and Jesse for the music, and to Carrick for encouraging (well, making) me to do it again. Thanks to Jackson, Brain and Mike, Will and Earnie for lending a hand and to Kat for her beautiful voice.

This summer has been rough for me, but my physical therapy has paid off and this weekend lifted my spirits even though it nearly crushed me at times. Still got a long road ahead but want to let you all know how much I appreciate the support.

UPDATE FROM THE PRODUCER OF MINESHAFT
OUR WEEKEND IS ON! BUT WITH A NEW DATE:
OCTOBER 2-5 2025
_________________

My surgeons and physical therapy team have told me I need another six weeks of PT, so I have moved the date back a few weeks. The new date will mean less chance of rain and slightly cooler temps, which after a hot summer should be a welcome relief!

I have also needed to make some changes to the schedule of events to make things more manageable but the Mineshaft Crew has rallied and we're up for making it a great weekend!

Guys, thanks for your patience and understanding and all the messages of support recently. I appreciate it.

Working to get a ticket link and new event schedule up ASAP

MINESHAFT UPDATE

With a month to go before our scheduled date I want to let you guys know what's been going on and why dogtag sales, event updates and communications have been delayed --- and to apologize for my absence and any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused.

As many of you know, for many years I have been dealing with a variety of very serious health issues. Mineshaft Weekend is a very physically taxing undertaking, with 4 days of events spread across multiple venues and while ,I love the event, I have always been a wreck afterwards.

What makes this year even more challenging is that I have just had the first of two full knee replacement surgeries. I don't mind telling you it has been a real bitch, with awful pain that has made getting around and sleeping difficult if not impossible.

So the simple honest truth is I have just not been sure I could pull things off this September which has caused me to stall.

_________________

So far my physical therapy has been going well and this week I have been re-connecting with venues, crew, Djs and partners about the viability of holding on to the September date as well as the potential benefits of pushing the date back.

I WILL GET A DECISION MADE THIS WEEKEND AND WILL BE LETTING YOU KNOW.

I am sure you guys will understand but, again, I am sorry for the delay.
