Yesterday I had the privilege of sitting in on some artist interviews on Cayamo: even though they had rehearsals and soundchecks to get to, these musicians were incredibly kind to speak with some journalists we have on board. As I listened, the conversations turned to WHY the artists sail on Cayamo and why they keep coming back. One word kept popping up: community.

We have talked a lot about the fans being part of a community, and coming on board to enjoy the music, meet fellow music lovers, etc, but not as much about how the artists feel. And in case you haven’t heard it already, I’m here to tell you that they love this cruise.

The artists love that the fans on Cayamo know the songs and the stories behind them, love that the fans “get it” as we say, and they love being able to come on board, be a part of the community, and enjoy an incredible vacation at the same time. For many of these talented songwriters, this is a break from bus fumes, cluttered driving schedules, and a chance to have their families along while they’re playing shows.

At Sixthman we’re proud to be able to provide not only guests but also the artists with an unforgettable experience. And for all of those artists who are joining us for the first time on Cayamo, welcome to the community!
