Why This Role is Unique
After hosting live music performances every night of summer for 3 years, we're trying something new. The Fire Master is meant to be a friend strumming along while guests toast a smore or watch the stars. A faint tune heard from an open cabin window, or a surprise duet on the great room piano. Your tunes & tales will be intrgal parts of Red Bay memories for travelers from across the globe.
This is not a stage performance job—it’s about creating atmosphere. Think background music, good energy, and helping guests unwind at the end of the night on their "cabin in the woods" adventure. We are a no tipping facility, with strict policies opposing soliciting guests for additional compensation.
