We’re a group of Maine musicians, performers, and professionals working together to raise awareness about something we care deeply about; Portland’s amazing live music venues and the powerful role they play in our local economy and community.

These venues aren’t just places to see a show, they’re spaces where creativity thrives, where neighbors connect, and where culture is made. We want to help keep them alive and thriving, support our local musicians, and make sure Portland stays a place where live music has a home.

Together, these venues provide hundreds of jobs, generate millions for the local economy, and give back through donations, community events, and taxes. We believe they deserve real recognition for the energy, identity, and heart they bring to our city.
