Back to School Bash: Teen Performer Showcase is more than just a concert—it’s a rare and vital opportunity for emerging artists to take the stage and for under-21 community members to gather in a substance-free, supportive environment to enjoy live local music.
In our community, opportunities for young performers to share their art publicly are scarce, and even fewer venues exist for teens and young adults to attend live music events that center safety, belonging, and inclusion. This showcase fills that gap by giving LGBTQ+ and BIPOC and other youth and young adults the spotlight they deserve—while also welcoming the whole community to celebrate their talent.
As a special treat, the event will feature a headline performance by an established local band with diverse membership. Their presence is more than entertainment—it’s a chance for youth to see what is possible when they pursue their passions and commit to their artistry.
All-ages sober event.
Student Tickets: $10 in advance, $12 day-of.
General Admission: $18 in advance, $20 day-of.
Produced by Etude and sponsored by Planned Parenthood, The Mess, Opus Music Academy and Face to Face and Queerspace Collective.
