Discover new independent music artists through our intimate live sessions.
What One Night Music Does
One Night Music finds talented independent artists and films them candidly performing a selection of their music in an intimate setting. These special performances are shared with you through our sessions, which contain video and audio recordings, an illustrated portrait, a written description, photographs, and information about each artist. We use our blog to share additional recordings of performances that we capture as well other commentary on music.
Why One Night Music Was Created
One Night Music was started in November 2008 by a group of friends in Santa Barbara, CA who envisioned a new way to share live musical performances with a broad audience through visual media on the internet. We have since built an online music community that connects music enthusiasts with quality emerging independent music, while also nourishing the artists we record by showcasing their music, and exposing the talents of the Contributors who create all the artwork and media. We strongly believe that our community will stay honest and maintain integrity by never charging our artists to record or our visitors to enjoy.
Who Makes One Night Music Happen
All the art and media at One Night Music is created by a collective of volunteer Contributors from across the United States who film, record, edit, draw, write, and snap pictures for each session. Meet the Contributors»
Where One Night Music Records
San Francisco is the home of One Night Music — this is where we organize our community and this is where we primarily record artists. We also record in Chico, CA, Mountain View, CA, and Santa Cruz, CA. Local artists and traveling artists alike are encouraged to reach out to us about recording a session.
