FAQ
How do we organize our own concert?
Get your performers together. Ask your friends/family to bring frineds/family. You can hold an intimate concert at home/backyard/neighborhood coffee shop or restaurant. It's better to keep it simple and not worry about a stage or sound system. The idea is to bring people together and play music. If you have a larger concert in mind, you might want to talk to a live house, church, school, library, etc. that already have a stage/sound system. Big or small, when you have the time and location, sign up on "Organize A Concert" page and we will include your event in our Concert Listings. Be sure to add your performers so that they will be listed also.

If I don't sign up, can I perform spontaneously?
You sure can play at your neighborhood park or stand at a street corner or even play music for your friends/family in living room but we do request that:
  1. Send us an email of your plans, name/band and location. This is so that we can list your performance in the Press Kit for following year.
  2. You have a September Concert Banner at the site (see logo specs in Organizers Toolkit)
  3. Ensure that a photo is taken and you share this with us, what you did, when and where, and we will add it to our records.


Where does my donation go?
Since we don't charge for concerts all expenses associated with organizing this event has to be covered by our fundraising efforts. Year-round community outreach, program development, website maintenance, video production are all in addition to the actual day-of-event expenses such as sound systems and preparing and disseminating promotional materials. Every dollar counts and in-kind donations are just as appreciated.
