We Support Local

Free Music for Local Businesses.

When a new local business opens its doors, we like to show up and make it count. Ribbon cuttings, grand openings — we play them for free. It's not something we can do for everyone, but it's part of who we are.

Why We Do This

Because local businesses deserve a little noise.

We're a local band too, and we know what it takes to build something from scratch in this city. When a new business opens its doors, that's a big moment — one that deserves more than a pair of scissors and a quiet photo. So a few times a year, we show up and play, free of charge.

This isn't a marketing gimmick we run for everyone who asks. We can't say yes to every application, but we read every single one, and when it's a good fit, we show up with our horns and help a new business make some noise on its opening day.

By Application
Good to Know

We Support Local FAQ.

Is this really free?

Yes. If your application is a match, there's no cost to you.

Do you do this for every new business?

No. We wish we could, but we can only take on a limited number of these. Every application gets read, even if we can't say yes to all of them.

What kind of event qualifies?

Ribbon cuttings, grand openings, and similar first-day moments for new local businesses. If you're not sure yours qualifies, apply anyway and tell us about it.

How far in advance should we apply?

As soon as you have a date. The earlier the better, since we can only take on a limited number of these.

What if we want to book you for a paid event instead?

This program is specifically for free community appearances. For a paid event, head to our booking page instead.
