Music Everywhere CLT

What is Music Everywhere CLT?

Music Everywhere CLT is a nonprofit civic and economic development initiative dedicated to building Charlotte's music scene into a cultural, community, and economic asset. We support live music, music-business development, and storytelling to make Charlotte synonymous with music.


What is your mission?

  • Our Opus (Purpose): Music connects communities, fuels economic growth, tourism, and strengthens Charlotte's identity.
  • Our Call (Mission): We protect and support the live music community, promote the business of music, and elevate Charlotte's sounds on local and global stages.


How did Music Everywhere come to be?

Originally launched as an online resource to address the lack of a comprehensive live music calendar in Charlotte, Music Everywhere was developed with backing from Charlotte Center City Partners and Avid Xchange. It now serves as a calendar and directory for artists and venues across the city.
