Bring live jazz — and a live stream audience — to your space.
Hosting an Encore performance is not simply booking a band. It is a collaboration between your space and an organization with a genuine mission, an established audience, and a distinctive approach to live performance.
Every pop-up begins with a conversation. We want to understand your space, your community, and what you're hoping the performance will create. From there, we design a format that fits — the music, the length, the atmosphere. The result belongs to both of us.
And it streams. Every Encore pop-up goes out live to an audience that extends far beyond your walls — putting your venue in front of a regional and national audience that cares about live music.

The Encore gives particular priority to venues that serve disadvantaged communities and audiences experiencing social isolation or loneliness. Live music is one of the most direct paths to human connection, and we are committed to making that experience available to the people who need it most.
If your space serves a community that doesn't typically have access to live cultural events, we want to hear from you first.
