“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.

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.
