MIND BODY SPIRIT Festival Main Stage 2026

Mar 23, 2026 | 2026, Performer

This year, we’re doing something different on the main stage, and it starts from the moment you arrive.

We’re opening the day under the open sky with Harper Sound Journey, new to our festival this year, guiding you through an immersive sound journey designed to quiet the mind and awaken the spirit. From there, Imphormal, the one-man electric cello experience that stole hearts at last year’s festival, returns to fill the afternoon air with his signature ambient soundscapes. Then we welcome DJ Chuck Fry to the festival for the first time, bringing the rhythm and movement to carry you home.

Stillness. Sound. Movement. From 11am to 5pm, the main stage takes you on a journey through all of it.

DJ Chuck Fry is a South Bend creative who knows how to read a room — and a crowd. Known for sets that build with intention, Chuck brings a dynamic energy to the dance floor that feels less like a performance and more like a conversation. His music moves people — literally — blending groves into a seamless flow that invites you to let go and just be present in your body. We’re thrilled to welcome him to the festival stage for the first time this year as he closes out our main stage from 2pm-5pm.

Michael Jon DeHays is a freelance electric cellist, composer, and recording engineer from Mishawaka, Indiana. His time is spent composing music, recording and mixing audio at Kickstart Studios, or performing on electric cello as Imphormal. He is a member of the “Computer Geek, Tech-head Club of Michiana”.

His music began with the cello at age 8 and grew to include bass guitar. Additionally, service in the United States Air Force provided a solid education in analog and digital electronics, which he promptly applied to audio engineering, recording, and performance technology.

His writing draws on inspiration from a wide variety of musical genres. Inspirations include the works of Frank Lloyd Wright, Rudy Van Gelder, Vince Guaraldi, and Piero Umiliani.

Michael has also long been surrounded and inspired by the arts and culture of Japan. This has a way of arising in compositions and mixing with his mainstream American roots.

Michael and Imphormal can be reached at the Imphormal Website.

Award winning Australian musicians  (14 x music awards in 4 countries) and sound healers: Peter D. Harper and Bobbi Llewellyn- Harper present a sonic meditational soundscape featuring the ancient Australian Indigenous instrument – the Didgeridoo (Mako/ Yidaki). Peter has received permission and a blessing from First Nations clan elders to play this sacred instrument.  Peter and Bobbi incorporate mesmerizing male/ female vocal intonations and harmonies using power vowels/ words which bring participants into a deep state of mediation.  The Didgeridoo / Singing Ceremony has been used for thousands of years to help the Indigenous people of Australia to find their way across the land as they literally sing manifestation into existence. Everything is frequency and so when we tune into the frequency of the land, we can manifest what we need.  The frequency range alters our brainwaves to a state of deep relaxation through what is known as brainwave entrainment. The sound can be felt and heard and works on all levels to bring you back to a state of what is natural.  The Australian indigenous message sticks, Navajo – The Dine` traditional drum, Native American “love” Flute, drone flute,  crystal singing bowls, harmonica,  tongue drum and keyboard drones are also included in their inspirational and healing sound scape. Each instrument is performed with intention, creating a symphony of ethereal vibrations that nurture the mind, body, and soul. Their offerings create an immersive experience that transports participants towards a state of deep inner peace. Peter and Bobbi have performed in the USA, Canada, Australia, Europe, United Kingdom, The Caribbean, Asia and China.
