Happy Hour Concert Black Fret Banner

Do you want to find better ways to connect with your employees or customers while everyone is working remotely? Are you struggling to find ways to create engaging virtual experiences that take the place of the in-person events we took for granted just six months ago? Why not add a private online concert to your next zoom meeting?

Each concert features three bands/solo acts playing from home. Over the course of of about an hour and 15 min, each band plays three songs and in between we do some Q&A and tell stories. It is interactive, casual and fun. Click here to view more information about hosting a show of your own

These concerts are private events held on zoom which allows an intimate and interactive experience for the audience. They can also be live streamed to our facebook page to make them available to people who are not able to join the live event.

The Black Fret Happy Hour Concert program was started in April 2020, by Black Fret member Greg Carter in response to the impact COVID-19 was having on the Austin live music industry. This program is dedicated to putting musicians back to work during the pandemic, while at the same time creating unforgettable virtual experiences for companies, organizations or private parties. Since starting this program in April of 2020, Black Fret has awarded over $225,000 to over 150 bands.
