Marty Music’s First-Ever Mountain Retreat –
A One-of-a-Kind Music Experience in the Catskills

Get ready to hang, jam, and make magic with us in the mountains! We’re taking over Full Moon Resort in Big Indian, New York — just a couple hours from NYC — from Tuesday, September 9th to Friday, September 12th, 2025. It’s a world of it's own: beautiful mountains, crystal clear streams, gorgious swimming pool, crisp fresh air, amazing food, music all around…

Go Beyond the Screen

I’ve been teaching online for years, and while I love connecting through the screen, there’s just something special about being in the same room, playing music, trading ideas, and laughing our way through a jam. That’s what the Marty Music Mountain Retreat is all about.

We’re getting out of the inbox and into the mountains — guitars in hand, good food, good people, and zero pressure. This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about the joy of music, the power of community, and the magic that happens when people who love playing come together.

I’ve put together an all-star cast of my friends and favorite teachers to help guide you — not just through techniques and songs, but through real musical growth. And they’re all showing up ready to share their knowledge and their love for music with you. I’ll be there too, walking through chords, songwriting ideas, gear tips, and just hanging out between sessions. And every night, you’ll get the chance to hop on stage and jam — whether it’s with your fellow attendees or with some of the best players I know.

It doesn’t matter if you’re brand new or a seasoned shredder — this retreat is about connecting. With the music, with each other, and maybe even with a part of yourself you haven’t heard in a while.

Bring your guitar. Bring your passion. Let’s make some memories.

And I’m bringing some of my absolute

favorite musicians and friends with me!

Everyone is Welcome

This retreat is about real connection. It’s for anyone who wants to take that next step beyond the screen. Doesn’t matter if you’re just starting or if you’ve been gigging for years — as long as you’ve got the passion, you’re welcome here.

Non-Stop Jamming

Whether it’s on stage, around the campfire, or in a late-night jam room, there’ll be tons of opportunities to make music together.

Good Vibes
All Around

We’re talkin’ workshops, open mics, campfire hangs, masterclasses — or just relaxing in the Catskills with fellow music lovers.
