The Giving Gig

RECAP CONCERT VIDEO COMING SOON!

OVERVIEW

The Giving Gig was created to bring artists, music lovers, and creatives together at live shows that give back. It’s a space intended to build community and connect people while using music to support real casues and make an impact.

The first Giving Gig took place on May 17, 2025 in Los Angeles as a one-night fundraising showcase benefitting Sweet Relief Musician’s Fund. The night featured four live acts, raising over $800 through ticket sales alone.

Moving forward, The Giving Gig hopes to become a recurring live music series that showcases artists, collaborates with venues and brands, and continues supporting those that need it.

“We’re grateful to have benefitted from The Giving Gig this year. Ari was not only wonderful to work with, but very passionate and deeply cared about our mission and raising the much needed funds we need to help the music community. Events like these are so important and we hope to see more in the future!”

— Tatiana Day, Operations Manager, Sweet Relief Musicians Fund

STATS & IMPACT

The Giving Gig began as a passion project driven by a love for the music community and a desire to create something that genuinely means something. Independently produced from the ground up with no sponsors, funding, or backing, the first show proved what grassroots effort and artist support can do. What started as a one-night idea became a packed room with good music and a real fundraising impact.
