"If you have a heartbeat, you have a rhythm. If you can breathe, you can sing."
A lifelong part of the Feathered Pipe community, Matthew Marsolek grew up with the Ranch deeply woven into his life. A talented vocalist, composer, and guitarist, he brings together West African and North Indian music, Western classical and jazz traditions, and decades of international study and performance. As artistic director of the acclaimed Drum Brothers ensemble, Matthew shapes music and group experiences that bridge cultures and open the door to transformation. His teaching weaves rhythm, voice work, movement, and mindfulness into meaningful invitations for connection, whether he is working with retreat groups, hospice caregivers, bereaved youth, or corporate leaders.
At home in both a forest song circle and a concert hall, Matthew’s work is grounded in the belief that rhythm and sound are ancient tools for healing and belonging. At Mindful Unplug, he offers more than musical mastery: he creates a safe, spirited space where people can explore their voices, their aliveness, and their shared humanity.
