With chapters in Austin, Seattle and Colorado’s Front Range, Black Fret is a 501(c)3 charity which has curated hundreds of intimate musical experiences in some of our Nation’s finest music communities. Through our unique membership model, we catalyze communities to support their local musicians in the creation and performance of new music. Together, we have held hundreds of intimate concerts for our members and their support has allowed us to distribute over $3.5M to our local musicians and music businesses.
