Last night at Breakout Artists, someone put $10 in one of our donation containers. That simple act meant a lot to me. It felt like someone saw what we’re trying to build here and wanted to help keep it going.
To everyone who contributes to R³ Sound Stage: thank you. Every dollar helps provide food and snacks, free pop for the kids, and family-friendly entertainment offered free or at a modest admission price.
Your support also helps us offer free rehearsal time for emerging bands, instruments to use, and guidance for people learning to play or sing. It keeps Breakout Artists going—a place where beginners and seasoned musicians can share the stage, discover their abilities, and connect with others.
I want to be honest: keeping these evenings affordable doesn’t make them inexpensive to produce. Donations and folks coming out to enjoy the music help bridge the gap between what comes in and what it costs to keep the doors open.
R³ is one man’s dream, with a lot of one man’s work behind it—from posting on Facebook and cooking the meals to setting the stage, running sound and lights, and cleaning up after every show. But it takes a community to keep that dream alive.
This Halloween, that community spirit includes an anonymous fan’s generous donation of $2,000 in cash prizes for our costume party, with food and live music by Heartbreak for Heroes. That kind of generosity helps make a special night possible.
Whether it’s $10 in a donation can, a generous gift, or simply coming through our doors with friends and family, your support matters.
Come for dinner. Stay for the music. Help us keep a place where people of all ages can learn, play, perform, and belong.
Thank you for being part of our R³ family. ❤️
