Peoria Music Live has been bringing you information about live local music in the area for just under 5 years now.

I LOVE what I do. I love promoting our fantastic local music scene, the venues that help make it happen, and the small businesses that support it as well. I love introducing you to bands and genres you’ve never experienced, and I love experiencing them with you. 

For a long time I've done everything, with some occasional helpers… some volunteers, some paid. And, because I LOVE it, I didn't worry so much about how the bills were being paid. I just made Hire A Housewife a sponsor and paid for anything not covered by other sponsors out of my pocket.

Unfortunately, we've grown too big to support what we’re doing that way any longer. 

So, our options are to cut way back OR offer our followers, artists, venues, and businesses additional benefits in return for helping support us. While we have ways to do that for as little as $2.50 a month, we’ll also be sharing a list of ways you can support us for free.

FANS & FOLLOWERS:
Join the Green Room - We have a lot of plans for Green Room members going forward, including monthly giveaways and exclusive content. It is one of the reasons I hired Quenice Williams to help us out. She’ll be a big part of making sure that online community is beneficial to all of our supporters and you’ll know your $3 was worth it!

For example, in addition to exclusive content and access to our private Facebook group, Green Room members who join by 5pm on Sunday, June 26th will be entered to win sets of tickets to the upcoming Patty PerShayla & the Mayhaps show WSG Elizabeth Moen in addition to various PML merch and/or other surprise giveaways from our supporters!

MUSICIANS: 
It’s never been part of our plan to support Peoria Music Live by having musicians pay to have their shows or music promoted and it never will be. You can add PML as a co-host to your Facebook event for free and we’ll add it to the list of shows were promoting. All of our normal coverage is 100% free.

However, if you are an artist or band who has trouble getting your event pages created due to lack of time or issues with the apps, we do have ways to help with that! For $5 per show or $25 per month, we’ll create all of your shows and add you and the venues as co-hosts, ensuring your shows are being listed and promoted to our followers and yours as soon as possible and in the best format possible. That $25/month also includes a Green Room subscription for up to 4 band members! Click here for more info!

You can also RENT FROM US - We have space artists and teachers can rent for full band practices, one-on-one lessons, small group classes, and more, at a super low cost. Click here to see what’s available and when!

VENUES: 
We currently have three promotional plans for venues that are very cost-effective. In fact, if our services bring 3-4 people to your venue in a month, you’ll make your investment in us back easily. 

Event Creation Only $100/mo

• You let us know the name of the band, the time, and date, and we'll create and manage the event pages for each one.

Event Creation+  $165/mo

• You let us know the name of the band, the time, and date, and we'll create and manage the event pages for each one.

• * Your Venue's Logo will be featured on Supporting Venues page (https://www.peoriamusiclive.com/venues) 

• * Your Venue's will have a venue page on our website ( Example: https://www.peoriamusiclive.com/hungry-moose  )

• * Monthly updates will be made to your venue page (on our site.)

• Quarterly ad featuring whatever you want - food, music, etc. (Not a post, an ad through Facebook Ads targeting our 15,000+ mostly local followers.)

• Monthly recognition on Facebook and Instagram as a supporter of live local music through Peoria Music Live

• Weekly mention on What's Up Peoria
   * = great for SEO and getting your page to show up higher in searches for live music in Peoria.

Event Creation+  & What's Up Peoria $210/mo

• This includes everything above and we come host What's Up Peoria at Your Venue once a quarter and bring a music guest for the show whenever possible. 

• While the phone set-up has been working great right now, we are working on getting a better system with mics. We plan to have that put together within the next couple weeks. 

SMALL BUSINESSES:
We love telling people about local businesses that support live local music… whether they are businesses run by musicians, businesses who serve local musicians, or businesses who support live local music by advertising with Peoria Music Live, we love you and want to support you too!
