Evolving.  Local.  Music.
Local Sounds is a non-profit (application pending) music organization that is focused on the historical preservation, education, and advancement of the local music industry.

Our focus and determination define the core values and drive the mission of Local Sounds, which is to support, encourage, develop and enhance the local music community.

What do you mean by the evolution of the local music scene?
The local music scene is always changing.  As part of that continuous change, we would like to see the Madison area music scene become one.  Right now the local music scene could be described (and has been recently) as “disconnected”.  For the most part, the music scene is divided by genre into their own cliques, each not really aware of what’s going on with the others.  Local Sounds is looking to be a solution to this issue, along with many other issues that define the scene’s evolution process.

Sound Progression, A Little Bit at a Time
In addition to all of the great new projects that Local Sounds has rolled out recently, there are several others that have been in existence for the past year or two:

• Local Sounds Museum – A local music historical preservation and complete music database project dedicated to documenting and recording the history of local music.
• Local Sounds TV – One of Local Sounds’ newest additions, LSTV is a service whose mission is to provide quality video coverage of the local music scene via a dedicated web video channel.
• Local Sounds Blog – The official Local Sounds organization blog with the mission of letting you know what we’re up to!
