Passion for Growing Creative Spirits

La Luna we are passionate about creating a vibrant and harmonious platform for celebrating music, creativity, and songwriting while passionately supporting local musicians and gig-workers in our community.

A Harmonious Narrative for Music, Creativity, and Songwriting

One of our primary objectives is to raise funds for the BMI license, a critical component that enables us to legally showcase the talents of local artists and ensure they receive fair compensation for their work. By doing so, we not only sustain musical heritage but also empower our local musicians to continue their storytelling through music.

An Artistic Revolution

Our event is more than just an evening of entertainment; it’s a revolutionary movement that encourages artistic collaboration, community engagement, and the celebration of the rich tapestry of music. Join us in this journey of artistic harmony, where every note, every lyric, and every contribution fuels a creative revolution that transcends boundaries and makes history. 🎵🎤🎨

Artistic Opportunities

We aim to redefine the way we experience and appreciate music by blending the traditional with the innovative, honoring musical heritage, and embracing contemporary creativity. Through concerts, burlesque productions, entertainer spotlight fairs, and weekly karaoke, open mic, and comedy open mic shows, we provide a diverse range of experiences for both artists and audiences.

By participating in our Musician Showcase and Fundraiser and contributing to the BMI fundraiser, you play an active role in supporting the very heartbeat of this artistic movement. It’s more than just an exciting evening; it’s a revolution in the making, and you’re at the forefront. Let’s unleash the creativity and make history together!
