Since March 2020, we have achieved over 46 million views with over 23 million minutes viewed. That’s over 43 calendar years of viewing time cumulatively of live-stream viewers time spent watching our concerts!

Family Friendly

With a focus on quality musicianship and a great diversity of musical styles, our concerts appeal to a broad range of age groups. We are pleased to see many families with young children in our audience!

Pandemic Response

When COVID hit we pivoted to live-stream concerts in a safe environment. We were the only gig in town for many musicians, and we were able to continue operating while maintaining strict safety protocols, while the rest of the music industry was shut down.
