“This stark, behind-the-curtain look gives voice to an industry silenced by the pandemic... Bring Music Home is another example of how supportive the live (music) community is, and just how eager we all are to see its return.”
— Rev. Moose, NIVA
BRING MUSIC HOME captures iconic music venues and the personalities behind them through a combined book, podcast and film project. The coffee table book, out now, documents more than 200 music venues in 30 U.S. cities. The current podcast and forthcoming docuseries showcase how deeply music, performance, and genres shape our communities as we venture along the road back to the future for live music.
In the face of COVID-19, music venues across the country have been forced to shutter. At this unprecedented moment in music’s history—a time when live performances ceased everywhere— The BMH team documented this collective experience nationwide - and the love we all have for music as both an industry and fans. Now use this comprehensive documentation of venues across the country as your road map for music.

#SAVEOURSTAGES
Bring Music Home has partnered with the National Independent Venue Association. Proceeds from the City by City posters created for Bring Music Home go immediately to NIVA’s emergency relief fund. For the book itself a portion of the proceeds will go to NIVA.
Bring Music Home has partnered with amazing graphic artists in each city to design a poster that represents the heart + soul of music culture in their hometowns.
100% of sales from these posters, screen-printed by Fine Southern Gentlemen, benefited NIVA to help those in need immediately during the Pandemic. The posters are now featured within the Bring Music Home book which is out and available to purchase nationwide.
