Who We Are & Who We Serve
SLAC represents the people most directly involved in Sacramento’s live music economy—working musicians, event producers, and technical crew—in partnership with the small and mid-sized venues that host them.
Who We Advocate For
Our programs and advocacy focus on the people who make a living from live music in Sacramento:
- Working Musicians & Bandleaders Musicians performing original music, leading bands, holding artist residencies, and playing local and corporate events.
- Show Organizers & DJ-Instrumental Curators Artists and independent promoters who lead DJ-instrumental nights and put together shows for hip-hop, jazz, soul, funk, and rock music.
- Sound Technicians & Production Workers Audio engineers, sound techs, and lighting crew who run live rooms across the city.
- Media, Film & Photography Workers Independent photographers, videographers, and media teams who document local shows and help bands reach audiences.
Our Allies
Lasting change requires support from everyone who values a vibrant city. We work alongside:
- Independent Venues & Staff Small and mid-sized venue owners, booking agents, bartenders, security staff, and volunteers.
- Live Music Fans & Neighbors Regular show attendees, neighborhood residents near music venues, and community champions for the arts.
- Civic & Festival Partners Elected officials, city staff who care about the arts, public health advocates, and festival organizers from in and out of state.
