For the wild boys and emo girls.
A music-based recovery space for the mgk fandom. Drop your email and you'll be the first to know when it drops.
Same heart as Swift Steps®
His music. His people.
A place where fans who are in recovery, sober curious, reducing harm or just trying to feel better can find each other through the songs that got them through. Any age. The underdogs. The outcasts. The uncool. Nobody gets left at the door. Nobody has to prove they belong.
How it started
Pulled up on stage.
I got pulled up on stage at an mgk show and danced with him to "Bloody Valentine." My favorite concert memory ever. It felt like a light bulb moment, just like when I first thought of Swift Steps. I went home and told a friend, "mgk just changed everything for me tonight!"
I wanted to take what we do to more music. More fandoms. More artists. More people who need a room like ours.
So I emailed his team. For ten months.
Third time's the (semi) charm
Then I got to tell him.
In October I went to Morning Buzz at the New York City Wine & Food Festival, hosted by mgk and 27 Club Coffee. I got 35 seconds with him. I told him I run a music-based recovery community. I told him the collective effervescence he talked about on stage is exactly what I'm all about.
And I finally put the friendship bracelets I'd been carrying since that first night right in his hands.
The dream
Recovery on tour.
I'd love to partner with mgk's team to offer more. None of this is happening yet. Here's what it could look like.
- At the show.A friendly face in the crowd. Narcan and education right there at the show. No stigma.
- For the crew.Support before and after the show, when the adrenaline doesn't just shut off.
- On the road.Meetings at tour stops, open to everyone attending, so everybody has a place.
- Recovery companions.Peer mentors at every show, plus a quiet space for anyone who needs a break.
- Everywhere else.Virtual meetings so the whole fandom can join from anywhere in the world.
- In the music.Support for anyone who still wants to be in these spaces while living healthier.
Wherever the music is, recovery can be there too.
