It all starts on local stages
We’re proud to be certified Live Independent, a national initiative to champion and elevate independent venues, festivals, and promoters. Places like The State Room and The Commonwealth Room are crucial in nurturing emerging talent and providing unforgettable live experiences.Our stages have been the launching pad for some of today's biggest artists. Khruangbin, The Black Pumas, Noah Kahan, Alabama Shakes, Billy Strings, and The Lumineers have graced our intimate spaces, proving these venues are crucial in shaping remarkable careers. Let’s keep these venues thriving for future artists.
Live Independent is more than a badge on a webpage; it’s a rallying cry akin to “Shop Small” or “Buy Local.” It aims to unite artists, live entertainment industry professionals, and music fans around the venues and promoters that make our communities vibrant, unique, and historic.
Support #LiveIndependent and help ensure the future of these essential cultural spaces for artists and fans alike. Together, let's celebrate and preserve the heart of live entertainment!
