Friends of Bob Live Music Co-op

About Me

Friends of Bob is a not-for-profit organization of volunteers bringing alternatives in live music to the Greater Lafayette area. Our purpose is to present high-quality rock, pop, rhythm and blues, rockabilly, alternative, soul, country, reggae, world and any other category-defying music that may ordinarily pass Lafayette by.Friends of Bob formed in late 1994. We've discovered that we can affordably book really top-class bands that are traveling between dates in bigger cities.Early shows!! We've broken the standard late-night format, beginning shows early in the evening.Though Friends of Bob shows are open to the public, we encourage you to become a member. Membership dues provide our working capital, allowing us to hire more expensive bands without putting the financial status of the organization in jeopardy.Friends of Bob is a registered not-for-profit corporation. All profits are put back into the organization's working capital. Please come out and support our shows and encourage your friends to do so.The membership dues are $10 per person (or more, if you're able). Please consider becoming a member or renewing your membership! These dues form the working capital of Friends of Bob. All proceeds will be put back into the hiring of bands. In any case, please come to the shows and bring your friends!
