Our Team
Connie Waite Baldwin
As Reed “Redfellow” Baldwin’s mother, Connie envisioned the Redfellow Music Festival (RMF) as a “love letter” to Reed and ALL emerging artists whose raw talent and passion deserve to be recognized. Connie brings 12 years of experience in marketing communications for the software industry, an energetic volunteer spirit, and an entrepreneur’s passion to the Redfellow Foundation.
Together with her husband Brick, they own the venue Starlight Meadows where the RMF is currently hosted.

As with many nonprofit organizations, we are only as strong as the people who give their time, talent, and energy to make our events and programs a success. From the dedicated Sound Team NADA House who donates their expertise AND sound booth equipment, to the brilliant Customer Service team who greet attendees and manage our POS systems, to the Ground Crew who helps everything run smoothly, the Redfellow Music Festival is blessed to work with talented, big-hearted, and hard-working people who believe in our mission.
