Your backstage pass to something unforgettable.
Coming to Phoenix September 21, 2026
Join a curated circle of music store owners who get it.
The Back Beat Retreat is a high-trust mastermind designed to spark collaboration, clarity, and growth—both personal and professional.
This isn't a workshop. It's a reset.
This isn't networking. It's connection.
This isn't for everyone. It's for the right ones.
This experience is selectively curated for music store owners ready to grow with intention.
Jeff Mazza founded and ran Royal Music in New Jersey for nearly 30 years, and Backbeat grew out of the kinds of conversations he wished he’d had earlier in his career—honest, grounded, and free from vendor agendas or industry noise. While he’s the one organizing it, the retreat isn’t about him. It’s about giving store owners a space to step back, think clearly, and talk openly with people who truly understand the work.
