UPRISING MUSIC SCENE Known prominently for producing such greats as Finger 11, Idle Sons (Slurpy Mundae), Grade, Jersey, Silvestein and Boys Night Out, Burlington has been a key contributor to the popular music scene supported worldwide. Newcomers such as The Reason, Cain and Abel and The St. Alvia Cartel, assure listeners and scene enthusiasts that the trend for producing talented popular bands will continue here in Burlington and surrounding areas.
As time goes by, the quaint lakeside city of Burlington holding a little over 170 thousand people is continuing to gain the recognition deserved for having produced so many talented musicians. Given more time, the “scene†will soon be recognized along the ranks with the equally exciting areas of Orange County, CA and Gainesville, FL.
The opportunity to see the next ‘big thing’ out of this area and be able to support them is something we consider to be tremendously important. Our local shows create this opportunity and help to build the scene even stronger. Please support your hard working local musicians and enjoy the talent in which this area has been granted.

THE SUPPORT OF THE YMCA By having a huge organization like the YMCA behind such a unique program allows for so many others to benefit from each and every show. For example, all proceeds from a show go directly to charity. Since March of 2000, there has been over $45,000 donated to various charities worldwide. As the program continues to develop, even more money is being raised and donated to be able to give back to the community. Secondly, shows are being presented to the youth in a controlled, safe, drug and alcohol free environment. This allows for people of all ages to get involved and focus on the most important element at hand, the music.
