Dave Trout, Senior Producer, UTR weekly radio show & podcast, is the creator of Escape to the Lake and talks about this new endeavor. "Launching this event is truly a dream come true. I am passionate about connecting listeners with artistically rich and faith-filled songwriters. What better way than going on vacation together? It's our hope that this retreat will become one of the premier indie music events in the country, and that people will enjoy creation, community, and world-class musicians. We are so glad to be partnering with Conference Point Center and we are working together on creating a memorable gathering for music lovers."

About Dave Trout
Trout has been in Christian radio for 18 years, and joined ReFrame Media (parent company of UTR) in 2007. He developed the concept for UTR that next year, and the syndicated radio show and podcast launched in November 2008. UTR currently airs on over 220 radio outlets and is downloaded by thousands as a weekly podcast. UTR is a different music program as it features Trout's passion for more artistic, creative, well-crafted music, and what he calls "the best songs you've never heard." At the same time, UTR began organizing or sponsoring over 120 artist concerts over the last 3 years to help introduce more people to the heart and music of Christian songwriters who are making art with excellence. UTR can be found at www.radarradio.net.
