Briggs McElwee, 22, is from Statesville, North Carolina and is a 2023 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a degree in Business and Music. One of Briggs's greatest passions is music and how it can empower people and communities. In order to spread this sentiment, Briggs founded a music and arts festival at the McCallie School in Chattanooga, Tennessee called Ridgefest aimed at growing and empowering people through music and musical education. Briggs also serves as a musical empowerment mentor for low-income communities giving guitar lessons, facilitating recitals, and providing overall music education. Briggs truly believes that in all aspects of life, music has the ability to bring different people from different walks of life together. Briggs brought a special energy and passion to Iceland last summer, and we can’t wait to see him do it again this summer! Briggs is dedicated to others, patience, and enthusiasm for things in life will allow him to give his students a once in a lifetime experience this summer! We are so excited to have Briggs on board!
