Our Roots
Growing a Brighter Future Through Music
The Jazzy Hideaway was founded by Mitchell Player, a passionate musician and the owner of 504 Experience, to make music education accessible to children in Louisiana. The Jazzy Hideaway combines Mitchell’s love for music with the principles of homesteading, using a unique approach that connects nature, community, and culture to inspire the next generation of musicians.
​
Nestled in the rural beauty of Clinton, Louisiana, The Jazzy Hideaway is more than just a homestead; it’s a place for growth, creativity, and community. Here, we believe nurturing children’s musical abilities is a lot like cultivating a garden: both require time, dedication, and the right environment to flourish. By blending homesteading and gardening principles with music education, we aim to create a space where anyone can thrive artistically and learn life skills rooted in patience, perseverance, and collaboration.
Why Homesteading?
Homesteading is about working the land, fostering self-sufficiency, and building community. We see these values as essential for the success of both gardening and music education. Just as a garden needs seeds, care, and time to yield a harvest, young musicians need resources, support, and the opportunity to practice their craft to reach their full potential. Through the homestead, we combine these values by using music-based fundraising events and festivals to directly support our music education programs.
While our mission is rooted in New Orleans’ rich musical heritage, The Jazzy Hideaway brings the spirit of jazz to a tranquil setting in Clinton, Louisiana. The property will host music events, and festivals, where the community can gather to celebrate music, culture, and the land that sustains us. By attending our events, participating in our programs, or simply spreading the word, you’re helping us plant the seeds of musical talent that will grow for years to come.
