SUPPORTING MISSISSIPPI MUSIC
Cathead Jam is not just a festival—it’s a movement. Owned by Dreamnote Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 2022 by Cathead Distillery Co-Founders Richard Patrick and Austin Evans, alongside longtime friend and music advocate Arden Barnett, the festival channels 100% of proceeds directly into expanding music education programs in Mississippi’s underserved communities.
“Dreamnote’s mission to ensure musical access to all children in our State, was started by three music lovers ingrained in Mississippi.” said Dreamnote Board Member B Jones. “It’s driven by their love to gather people and keep it going down the road for the future. ”
