What are you reflecting right now? 🌍️ Musicians, songwriters and artists are often the one's trying to make the most sense of it all.

Thank you to Geison from Quora Strings for sharing a beautiful love story - and he even provided the soundtrack for the couples engagement! These stories are exactly why we do what we do - bringing creative connection in places that need it most, and doing it with ease.

Can you imagine being at the airport for an extended layover and having live music to enjoy - think about how much more enjoyable that experience would be! We are thankful to for her insight into what it's like to share their music with quite literally, the world! 🌎️

It's moments like these that remind us why music is so important in unexpected places. When two (or more) people connect over song, it makes the difference in someone's day when we least expect it.

Thank you to Nancy Laberge for sharing this memorable moment during one of her recent shifts playing her tunes at the airport. This candid song-swap between her and a pilot from Westjet at the Calgary International Airport is truly heartwarming to see.

Do you know a cafe or intimate space that could use more music? Could you tell them about us next time you're in?

We've created free software that helps make the process of hosting live music a lot easier. So you can focus on running your business, while opening your doors to a community of loyal artists who will support your endeavors, while you support theirs.

It's easier than you think. Discover more at www.stagehand.app today!

It's not what you know, it's who you know. (heard that one once or twice?)

One of the biggest mistakes artists make when booking gigs is thinking it’s just about 𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬.

In reality, every venue, sound tech, promoter, and fellow artist you meet is part of the path forward. The live music world runs on relationships.

The artists who understand that tend to build longer, stronger careers. Community comes through creativity - don't forget!

There are folks in this world that not only share their music, but share their story, too. Stage banter that catches your attention and keeps you locked in.

Over the years we have supported countless shows and each one is special in it's own way. We've discovered new talents that are learning to find their voice, both musically and otherwise - and it draws us in, because we know a listening ear is one simple way to help an artist feel supported.

Phone down, eyes up.

We've enjoyed veteran musicians who share tales from the road with eyes filled with light and passion for what they do. Like getting wrapped up in an old quilt, their stories and songs comforting us in profound ways.

Both experience, powerful and the connective tissue that binds us to music, story, community and song.

Music and motion - the two go together like hand in hand. 🤝

When we stand back and watch artists performing in public spaces, some folks stop to eagerly take it all in. We observe some that turn the head for a split second, share a smile, and keep on moving. And others, unknowingly lost in a deep thought, moving forward, never stopping, as the music creates a soundtrack for that moment in time. Children beg their parents to stop and dance for a moment. A corporate blue-suit throws a toonie in the guitarists bag.

Time stands still, for one beautiful moment.
