At OUR Place, we are absolutely ecstatic to unveil the highly anticipated musical lineup for our Sober October Recovery Fest! This year, we’re bringing together some of the most inspiring, talented musicians who have not only mastered their craft but are also powerful voices in the recovery movement. These artists remind us all that no matter where we've been, there's always hope ahead. Here's a sneak peek into the incredible performers who will be lighting up the stage.
Matt Keegan: The Recovery Rapper
Born and raised in a small Ohio town, Matt Keegan’s journey to the spotlight was anything but typical. As a self-described metalhead, rap was never part of the plan. But addiction and recovery shifted his path in ways he couldn’t have imagined. Matt has embraced his newfound creative outlet, using rap to express his raw, personal journey through recovery. After facing the temptations of fame and a relapse that shook his confidence, Matt’s return to the mic has been nothing short of transformative. His music speaks directly to the struggles of addiction, the pitfalls of big pharma, and the need for authentic recovery support. Find Matt on all platforms at MattKeeganRecovery, on streaming services as Matt Keegan, and on TikTok at @mattkeeganrecovery. Don’t miss his powerful story of resilience and recovery at Sober October!

Logan Bruce: From Addiction to Inspiration
Logan Bruce’s story begins with a perfect childhood in Amherst, Ohio, filled with baseball dreams and academic success. But behind the all-American exterior, Logan was grappling with an identity crisis that spiraled into alcohol and drug addiction. A back injury and fractured vertebrae became a turning point, forcing him to confront his addiction head-on. During one of his treatment stays, Logan rediscovered his love for music and began writing songs that reflected his recovery journey. Now, Logan uses his voice and guitar to show that it’s possible to rise from the ashes of addiction and find new purpose. His emotional performances have moved many to tears, and we’re honored to have him share his story and music at our festival. Listen to Logan’s music at loganbrucemusic.com.
