Our New Year's Resolution for 2018 is to help break attendance records at area shows in 2018 (shocker, right?) and we want you to join us. Once each month we'll find each other at a new venue for a new band and some special treatment. We'll enjoy special things you won't get on your couch with YouTube, Ben and Jerry.

Nathan Taylor & Friends at Pour Bros. September 2017
"This." I thought to myself... "This feeling is why I want people to be able to find live music when they want it." It's not just about the music, it's about what the music does for you, how it makes you feel. It's about the experience.
