saom is volunteer run and non-profit. Selling tickets and merch directly funds future activities. In liue of performer fees we record and mix all live sets and connect performers to a wider sound-making community.
If you’d like to get involved we’re really appreciative of help on the door, photography, promotion etc. Apply to perform via our open call form, follow us on Instagram or send an email via the contact form.
Spread the word. See you there :]
Love, Hannah / Ariella / Rob
