About Live Music Society

Welcome to Live Music Society! Our mission is to recognize and protect small venues and listening rooms across the United States so that live music can remain accessible to all. 

Our love for music runs deep, and we understand the vital role that small venues play in nurturing emerging talent and creating unforgettable experiences. That's why we work to support those that provide a platform for artists to connect with audiences and develop their craft. We're committed to promoting best practices and innovations that enhance the live music experience for everyone involved. 

About the Music in Action Grant

Music In Action (“MiA”) grants are core to our organization’s mission to recognize and protect small venues and listening rooms across the United States so that live music can remain accessible to all. The grants are designed to help venues engage with their audiences and communities through imaginative programs that bring people together with shared purpose. Our objective is to support initiatives that will:

• Improve the experience for musicians, staff, and audiences.
• Cultivate an engaged and connected community.
• Achieve long-term health and business growth.
